Thanks man. Well, I did this the other day.. Recorded, I think I could get them to sound the same if I tweaked it. In the room the II is warmer & fatter where the III is more tight & aggressive. https://youtu.be/OW7Yz1FaVQE Personally if the III+ mod is to make it sound more like a IIC+ then...

I struggle a bit with the concept of a III+ or III++ mod. I have Mark IIs, so I don't want to turn my Mark III into a Mark II in terms of the smoothness. Part of the appeal of the III is how raw & aggressive it is. BUT, I have not played a III+ so it's hard to say from here. I've also learned...

Do you have one for sale? PM me is so please. Thanks!

Thanks guys.

Ok here's a vid. The MW is more compressed where the Rev G is a little more organic. The MW is has more gain but the G has more feel. They BOTH crush. If I could only have one amp it'd be a MW Triple. Fortunately that's not the case, and there's something I prefer about the older amp's...

I even have a No-EQ IIC+ and I don't think IIC+ mode sounds like it. IV mode is close"er", but IV mode (like a IV) lacks the nasally mid hump that IIC+ have. When trying to recreate a IIC+"esque" feel, I actually like Crunch mode with a modest boost the best. It's a little heavy handed on the...

So I actually prefer EL34 in my V to the 6L6, which is the first time I can say that in any Mesa. So, I've been looking around at this. Let's take JJ tubes as an example. The 6L6 and EL34 tubes have a max voltage rating of 450. The 6CA7 have a max rating of 500. My Mark V in Variac mode runs...

I really don't think you need both if they are both duals. Now, if one is a triple, different story. When I do a vid I'll post. :)

I have both. Actually planning on doing a comparison vid soon. To be honest, if I had to choose I think it would be the MW. The 2 channel has something special about the high gain tone when you push it, but it's not that much different, and the MW is light years more versatile tone-wise. I...

I know two local guys with IIB+ S and DlPasco has a III purple S that ALL RIP. On the forums I've spoken to a FEW guys that say how hard their S / SR / SRG rips. I'm telling you.... The S & the K are WHERE IT'S AT.

Well I know the market wouldn't value it anywhere near that, but the market doesn't know what I know. I wouldn't take less than $5K for it based on my experience of what the best tone costs so I guess it won't be selling! The only thing better is a factory IIC+ Coli that sells for $6K, and it's...

You guys are funny. If I ever do sell the Coli it will be for a LARGE sum of money. I sold my factory DRG IIC++ for $4K after the Coli blew it away.. Anyway I'm recording a song with the SR C+ while I still have it, when I'm done I'll post it. The tone I'm getting is GOOD. All amp.

Gear comes, gear goes. For the most part I prefer the new experiences and knowledge expansion that comes with moving through gear. I say for the most part because that doesn't include the Coli. It's the best Mark I've every played or heard & it isn't going anywhere.. I've picked up 3 new amps...

I can't help but laugh every time I play the IIC+ SR I have now. IT"S AN ANIMAL!! I don't miss my old HRG IIC / + / ++, my DR C+ or my DRG C+ / ++ at all, but I think I might dry a little when I sell this SR! It's tight, it's fast, it sits perfect in the mix, and the liquid lead SINGS. These...

Actually rarest of the rare, I know a guy who has a SOB Coliseum! Top that!!

Mine? You can see it here. S/N K33X. https://youtu.be/cQjjAtewUzQ Also in the last year I changed my mind. While I do prefer Simul for leads, overall I realized I prefer pentode for rhythms.

There's a much bigger difference in power sections, what tubes you're using, even what transformer you have vs. whether it was an original or an upgrade.

12AX7. Mark III reverb is super weak. Even after Mike does his reverb mod it's still kind of weak. Best thing you can do is get a reverb pedal.

Cool. Mark IIIs have so much hair I think they work better with G12T75s than they do with V30s.

If someone is questioning it, produce the service paperwork and / or do the loop test and put it to bed. We all know factory C+ are "worth" more, even though there's no more difference in tone than there is just between amp to amp.
