Yep, the whole thing! Guy who owned the amp before me got the tank and all extra parts from mesa, including matching reverb knob etc. You can tell by the condition of the tank and components that it's a lot newer than the rest of the amp. Only owned the amp for maybe two years, reckon the...

So, my MKIII has a reverb tank installed as an aftermarket addition. I never use this feature as the places that I use this amp in tend to have enough natural reverb (outdoor gigs, large halls, theatres etc.). My question is: How easy is it to remove the reverb unit from my MKIII? Is it just...

I paired my (newly acquired) DC-3 with a custom Thiele cab loaded with an Eminence Deltalite 2512 and the bottom end is huge!!! The cab is made by Zilla who are based here in the uk. Originally I used an EVM12L in the cab but swapped it back into my MKIII 'cos I'm looking to sell it. The...

Sign Me Up!!!!!! Picked this up an hour ago for a bargain price :D ...can anyone give me info about the speaker? it has 1257 stamped on the cone and a label on the coil that reads: 763395 121340 8 OHM 67-95118420 G 6 is...

Possibly looking into getting one of these as they are around for bargain prices at the moment. My question is: how responsive is the lead channel to picking dynamics and guitar volume changes? My studio .22 is really great in this respect, my MKIII less so. Any info on how the DC2 and 3...

Any tips on how to improve the clean channel on my Studio .22? Could use a little more chime/jangle... Have tried numerous speakers (eminence, EV in a thiele etc.), but to no avail, absolutely love the lead channel though!!! Thanks in advance, W

Went with the Eminence Deltalite II 2512 in the end. Very happy with this speaker! IMO, I've now lost the sterile, hi-fi sound of the EV but have preserved the aggressive voicing of the MKIII. I was also considering the III+ mod that I read about elsewhere on this forum but with this new...

******SOLD****** Selling my Mesa Subway Blues. Later model with fat/bright switch. It has had the cap mod to reduce the notorious hum problem. Still hums a bit but nowhere near as much as before. In excellent cosmetic condition and never gigged, home use only. Still with tags. Looking for...

The light weight really appeals to me but how do they sound? Any recommendations - Celestion Century, Jensen Neo? W.

My Studio.22 has a Black Shadow VS-12 which I believe was the stock speaker and made by Eminence. Personally I really like this speaker/amp combination but quite a few people on here aren't so keen. Probably quite hard to come by now due to the age of the unit but I'll stick my neck out and...

My first Boogie was a "Studio Caliber", this was before they renamed it the DC-2 and added the contour control. Part exchanged it for an Orange Rocker 30, probably the stupidest gear exchange I have ever made. As I recall the cleans were superior to the previous Studio amps (definitely the...

Haven't seen many hardwood ones over here in the UK and certainly none for sale. "Normal" ones are usually between £600 - £800 depending on spec. but I've seen them go for £1250 in the West End - London Prices :roll: It wouldn't surprise me if you had to spend well over a grand (sterling), to...

As an experiment, I plugged the speaker into the 4ohm jack and this has (to my ears), warmed the sound up a fair bit. Boogie manual says that this will not harm the amp (but may cause the power tubes to wear out faster), is this true? Does plugging the speaker into the "wrong" input really...

Had exactly the same problem with mine: The problem was the grid reference resistors which had been snipped (possibly to increase the reverb level). Once reconnected the reverb was not distorted but still very quiet. Original resistors rated at 20k(?) a piece subsequently replaced with 1meg(?)...

Thanks for the input guys. Don't think I've ever had the presence above 3 (usually it's off), but I still find the amp a bit too clinical sounding for my tastes. Played several theatre gigs a week or so ago and each time I DI'd using a Palmer Speaker sim. Believe it or not I found the tone to...

Hi guys, wondering what are the sonic implications of changing the speaker in my Mark III (Blue stripe, 60w, reverb, EQ). Currently it has the Black Shadow "type EVM" speaker which is fine for cleans but strikes me as a bit too Hi-Fi on the dirty channels. I'm looking for a smoother sound, more...

UPDATE: Got the amp back today and she's as good as new :D Here's what the tech had to say: Reverb problem was the grid reference resistors which had been snipped (possibly to increase the reverb level). Once reconnected the reverb was not distorted but still very quiet. Original resistors...

The amp has been sent to a tech who is confident that he can fix both problems. I will post his findings when I get the amp back.

I have searched the entire forum and come up with some possibilities for the reverb issue which I will investigate. Still no luck with the weird oscillation on the lead channel though. Any more suggestions greatly appreciated....

Just uploaded a clip of the oscillation problem on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR2qdDTpxuw W.
