Hi, I have one of those IIBs modded to C+, too. The amp has been checked by Mike Bendinelli in 8/2003 and Mesa-Boogie added a letter, which says that it is one of those few modded ones. There were only 24 Bs converted to C+, because it is much more than a modding, it´s kind of "rebuilding"...

.... the more I compare, the more I notice a difference. Useing the clean channel, the difference is even bigger, I feel. You have to use R1 and R2 of the IV to get the whole bandwidth of the IIC+´s clean channel, while R2, especially whith "fat" is able to go into the C+´s lead area. I...

Hello Tuna 141, I totally agree. You absolutely found the words to describe it. Thank you very much, Boogiebabies, you know a lot about Boogies. I tried out the R2 and Lead Presence pulled and the IV didn´t sound that much compressed any more, but stil more than the C+. It is amazing to...

bedroom level allways is a problem, because there is not much headroom left. My experiance is: the older your Mark Amp is, the more loudness it needs to sound good. A Mark I sounds realy beatiful if you can crank it up, but it needs loudness to sound good. And the best at low levels is the Mark...

Hi Marshall_Fascist, you are right !!! I didn´t think, the poweramp makes a big difference, ´cause it´s a simulclass in both amps, but it does! I just tried it out. I used the effects send and returns to use the preamp of one amp and the poweramp of the other. In one case you can switch...

yes you´re right, the poweramp is very important, too. I owned a 60 W IIC+ and it had a little less dynamic range then my simulclass amps and a 100 W C+ had, that I was able to compare once. But what about breath, overtones and attack ? Is it also formed in the poweramp so much? A lot of...

...forgot to say: I used all arround equal preamp tubes and have 8 mached 6L6 tubes in the poweramps, so I think there realy are the same basic conditions when I compare the amps. (Did I forget something ?) There are clearly noticeable differences in the amps ... .... or am I hearing...

Hi folks, people say, that Mk IIC+ and Mk IV have the same circuid in the lead channel. But those amps really sound different, how´s that possible. I A/B ed the amps with a A/B Footswitch, that shortcuts the input of the not used amp, useing same kind of cabs with same kind of speakers in...

Hi, I agree with FRUCTAL and Nocki, those amps are both very good amps and they both are very versatile. But the quality of tone is way better in the Quad. Breath, life and dynamics are in it´s own class. A MK IV Combo is almost completed (missing only effects), small but heavy. A Rack with...

Hi, The EV is a very good speaker and some people (Marc Knopfler, Garry Moore, ...) have four of them in their 4x12" Cabs. O.K. - they don´t carry their cabs themselves. :wink: I have some problems with the high frequencies in high gain modes but I dislike this more in a MK I - III than I do...

Hi, since Mark Series Amps have a serial FX most of , even highclassed ones, don´t work as good as the intellifex does. To get the best results, you have to switch off the HUSH and then set the dry part of the intellifex to arround 100. Add effects then accordind to your taste, start at...
