just a quick question, someone mentioned above that het used the mystical 'crunchberries' on Death Magnetic, any idea which songs?? I think the only time i would add a second amp to my rig is if a Diezel was made available to me, and at $6500 in australia, THATS gonna happen.......

ah, i should update my thing actually, ive sold the iiC+, sacraligious as it may seem, i prefer the mark iii. And i have far from succeeded with the metal core. Early on in the peice, with the iic+, i was kinda happy with some of the 'heavy' tone i was getting, but i have a lot of work to do to...

im trying to get something that resembles richard kruspe of Rammstein's tone. just trying to use it to get a bit of extra snarl in there when needed, without having 6 rectifiers. also does down tuned korn very well. having said that, it doesnt get used very much, the mark III does just about...

hey all, just thought id post my rig, as its finally completed in all its brutal glory From the top - down Shure wireless kit Mesa boogie Mark III simulclass coliseum Mesa vintage 4 by 12 slant Mesa vintage 4 by 12 straight Gibson Flying V TC electronic G system Boss MetalCore (in the loop)...

bump, still tryin

thanks for the heads up mate, ill check it out!

gonna bump this up, i know these are hard to come by, but you should try finding one in australia! i can organise shipping

Hey ya'll, im hoping this isnt as bigger challenge as it is in Australia, but as the title suggests, Im trying to track down an oldschool (metal grille) straight 4 by 12 to complete my stack. Shipping to aus will be expensive, but i can cover all of that from my end, you just gotta get some...

yeah, dont worry, ill give it some serious thought, but i have had the iic+ for a while, and honestly everything i get out of the coli i like more that the little 60W. i wont be letting it go cheap, thats for sure.... hahaha. i might move it along to fund the second 4 by 12 for the coli, and...

Thanks guys. Yeah, I won't tamper with it, it is a truly unreal amp, in my opinion better than my iic+, which ill be selling now. The reason I ask is I am planning on building my own coli, so I'm trying to understand the nature of its power circuit. Anyone built there own transformers before...

hey mate, thanks for that. that seems to match up with my limited amp experience showed up when poking around in there. so is it just the nature of the simulclass circuit that brings its overall power rating down to 150W (or 120W as ive been recently informed!), as compared with a class AB? or...

good info mate. interesting about the 120W rating, never heard that figure stated! when i pulled it apart, i noticed the resistors were switched onto the four outer tubes, avoiding the centre ones. ill keep digging through it, im gonna attempt to to notate the full colisem power circuit, its...

hi everyone, so my mark iii simulclass coliseum is in peices on the floor, as I am trying to determine the impact the 'half power/full power' switch, for as far as i can tell, it does NOTHING. Now I have been doing my reading, and as far as i can tell, there are 3 schools of...

i own both a mark iii coli head, and th same half back cab, although different speakers. i suggest you do your homework, as you will find this one of the most brutal monsters out there. if i hadnt already bought one, id be offering this dude more and getting it shipped to oz! get it done!

hahaha, i did indeed mate, seen it about before have you? still experimenting with the GEQ, as im not used to having one at my disposal. that formation does a 'brighter' metallica tone, in this config anyway, then when you up the outside two sliders to max, and drop the next ones in a bit, gets...

wow, a second! free bump, already bought an amp from this fella, top notch!

hahaha yeah, might have been the guy in the backgrounds influence....

Gday guys, im mason, im from Melbourne in Australia. Ive been building this lot for a while now, spent way too much money, but i think i can finally rest now! Mesa gear is very hard to get in Aus, especially the old stuff, so both heads I have purchased from the states. So, big brother first...

yeah mate, all good, im an electronic engineer by trade, done alot of 'poking around' high voltage stuff! had a few zaps through history i might add! I have also read, since posting this, in the mesa handbook for a mark III, that a dying tube can also be the cause of this, any comments?

hey lads, im glad i found this post too, my 60W iiC+ has literally suffered the same symptom. Intermittent problem, the first time it happened i just shut it down and didn't investigate, then it seemed to relieve itself. I took the chassis out and fired it up, and prodded around the circuit...
