Good to hear you’re happy with how the Mark lll conversion turned out. Wish I could check it out. I bought a Mark lll DRG Black Dot combo on Sunday night from a Guitar Center in California. It has Gain Boost instead of Pull Deep on the faceplate. Don’t know if it has the 105 yet. Should get it...

Nice! Can you post some clips?

Finally dropped off the Mark lll at the UPS store. $142 to ship it from Chicago. Should get there next Friday. I guess I’ll just have to use one of my c+’s until I get it back. :(

I finally got around to calling Mesa today to get an RA# for the Mark lll. I had been going back and forth about keeping it stock or modding it. It just sounds so good as is. I can get really good British tones with the current Mesa 12ax7’s and EL34’s in class A. If I load it with nos Chinese...

Look’s good!

I really like the Celestion Redback. It sounds good right out of the box. Here’s the thread on it: http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=73216

Nice amp! gaskinz.

Mike B. said he automatically does the R2 mod. I asked him what the x under the power cord meant. He said the amp was built right before the Purple Stripe. I won’t argue with anyone but to me this amp is already a c+. It’s the first amp besides a c+ that passes my half hour test. It makes me...

I'm glad I bought the Mark lll. It's an awesome amp. I like it as much as my c+’s. I’ve already talked to Mike B. about modding it to a lll+. Does it sound and feel like a c+? I think it’s about as close as you can get. It has the elastic, bouncy feel of a c+. It’s not as smooth but I’m hoping...

My c+'s ain't goin' nowhere! :) I didn't plan on owning 6 of them. I just can't resist buying one for a good price. The Mark lll I bought was the same kind of thing. I found it online at a Music Go Round and my curiosity got the best of me. I'll post a review of the Mark lll later today after work.

Nice amp! My next amp will probably be a Mark lll with the 105 unless I find another deal on a c+. I’m always on the hunt. I found a pair of Groove Tubes labeled 415’s with a #4 rating for $56 a couple of weeks ago.

I bought a really clean Mark lll Black Stripe DRG wide head online last week. I knew it had a quad of 415's and the x101 transformer but the 12ax7s were Mesa spax7s. I pulled the tubing off and 4 are Tungsrams and 1 is Chinese military. I also didn't know if it was an HRG or a DRG until I pulled...

Nice collection! I just picked up a couple of mint R versions.

Sounds good! What preamp tubes do you have in it? I just picked up a Mark lll DRG Black Stripe with the x101 transformer.

I bought a really clean Mark lll black stripe wide head online this morning. Don’t know if it’s a DRG or HRG yet. It has an x under the power cord, 1/2 power switch on the front, x101 transformer, and a quad of 415’s. I plan on keeping it stock for now.

I like the 6 that I own. :) I just don’t get to spend enough time with them. :(

They don't have any boards left. I asked Mike B. about taking a board out of an existing c+. I also asked him about taking a 105 transformer out of a Mark lll black dot and putting it in one of my upgraded c+'s.

I talked to Mike B. today. He said it can be done.

The Studio Pre was run through an old Zenith 6V6 stereo amp that was converted to a guitar amp.

This sounds like something I would do. Give Mike B. a call. He’s probably done it already.
