I heard most new Boogies have PCB Mounted preamp and power tubes sockets. Can anyone confirm?

The link is http://home.earthlink.net/~ayan/sands.htm I did think about the filter caps, but called Mike B and he state dthat they generally should not have to be replaced. When I get some time I will pull out the chassis and look. My amp doesnt have an eq, but I used to use a boss one in the...

Have pretty much had it with the poor bass tones on MKIIC+. Thinking about a new amp. The kid I play with has a BF Bandmaster that is solid as an oak. The Boogie cuts thru, but need better bass fundamental tones. Tried 2/12 closed back cab. Read about this Smooth n Slim box today Can...

Thanks

Considering a Mark IV purchase. What are the lowest approximate output (Simulcalss, Tweed, Triode) wattages I can expect with four 5881's or four 6v6's in a mark 4. How about in Class A? Can I run two 6V6s in Class A? What would th wattage be? Also, Can I mix tubes? Like 5881 in the...

What should I expect to pay for a new Mark IV ? Where is best place to purchase near Long Island NY? Thanks Dan

www.dougstubes.com Doug hooked me up with a nice soft pair of 6L6 JJ's for my IIC+. My amp has alot more character now. I also have a pair of SED 6L6's, but I think the JJ's get more of a "cranked" sound. If I had a Mark IV, I'd be trying some Tung Sol 6V6's. Boogies are way to loud as it is...

I am considering another amp, probably used. I love my Boogie MKIIC+, but I think I am playing music that might leverage more of a Fenderish tone/dynamic. I play Dead, Blues, Funk and 60/70's psychedelia and a little Alt country stuff. I hear that the Rivera Amps/Fender-Rivera have nice sound...

Hi I play similar music thru my IIC+ and the biggest improvement to my sound was getting rid of the EV and getting a speaker withabout 99 SPL sensitivity. Its a Reverend All Tone. I dont think its the greatest speaker but at least now I can crank the master up past 2.5 and get some real nice...

Can anyone comment on using a Pedalsnake G2 with a Mark Series Amp? (Currently have a Mk IIC+, eyeing a MK IV) The concept is clear and seems like a good Idea. I plan on getting the 4 Guitar Line (2 for FX Loop, One for Amp Input, one for Lead Rhythym Switch), 2 Power Line Model. Any issues...

I would like to improve low end on Boogie combo, while preserving a chimey sound and SPL around 99. I think the less efficient speakers help sound. Am looking for comments about Celestion, Weber, Emminence, Tonetubby, etc 12" speakers. I play Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Alt country stuff. Need...

I have a C+ and have found that getting really soft tubes (from Doug's Tubes in Wantagh) and changing the speaker from the EV to a Jensen, then a Revend All Tone made a big difference in my sound. The EV is blaring due to its very high efficiency. I used to never be able to turn the Master past...

Thanks for the Help!

My reverb is really dead, I have heard about the insulation degrading inside them. Sounds like what is happening to mine. I am looking for Fender/Ampeg quality reverb, as deep and lush as possible. Any help is greatly appreciated Dan

Doug is a very knowledgeable and nice guy and I have purchased a bunch of tubes from him in the past. However Doug doesnt collect Boogies and I havent seen one in his house on my visits there. The information I am seeking is what are the recommended readings a tube should follow to be best...

Tubes come in different ratings (GT 1-10, Boogie/Fender have colors). I'm more interested in trying out other tubes but I want to achieve certain performace outcomes, most to order tubes that I can control the power amp breakup, eg Softer tubes for less clean headroom. Since Boogies (Mine is a...

Joe, Thanks for the reply. I must have the year I purchased it wrong, Its a 13000's serial, have the + above the AC so I'm pretty sure its a IIC+. I spoke with Mike the other day, he was very helpful. I was considering adding the EQ ($400) and having some minor upgrades, but it will cost...

Just replaced my MKIIC+ V1 with a GT Mullard and seems to be pretty good. I am also aware of the Mullard CV4024/12AT7 being an excellent Phase inverter tube and will probably be picking one with balanced triodes from Doug. These 2 preamp postions are the most discussed. Can anyone provide any...

Hi, I have a MK IIC+ I purchased in 1983 with my paper route (remember them?) money. I let the sales guy talk me into the EV speaker over the EQ. I would like to add the EQ to the amp now. I would also like Boogie to do maintenance on my 22 year old amp while they have it. Has anyone done...
