Try some deoxit on the all the pots, especially the push pull pots. If one is bad the rest will follow........

Those vintage casters got mojo rollin' tone, new casters sound sterile, like hospital wheels.... :twisted:

Beautiful :)

The volume pedal trick works with the Mark IIB thru the effects loop. This does not work after the effects loop mod is done to the Mark IIB. The slave is for driving another amp. I may be 100% wrong but as far as I know the IIB is the only Mark series amp that allows for the volume pedal trick.

Very Very Nice, I miss my San Dimas :cry:

My IIB is a forever amp, I use a old Rockman Midi Octupus with a self powered midi pedal to do all my switching. Works great. I've recently fallen in love with a Reinhardt Storm 33, Mid life crisis affair. The Boogie IIB has been with me for over a quarter decade. Edit: Make that a quarter...

Thanks for the heads up Joey, much appreciated.

That would explain the larger bottle like a 5881. I guess they go back on flea bay then. I had high hopes for awhile, but I knew it was a risk. Thanks for the help everyone :) and the heads up on the Sylvania 6CA7's they're mine now :twisted:

Yup the current STR 440's are Chinese 6L6's Janarobb, can you give me a heads up on the tone of these tubes???? I contacted Boogie and they are trying to figure out what they are also. The rep said he had only heard of one other set, so he's checking. I'll let you know. Big Bottles.....Big...

Anyone know who made these. STR440 el34 6CA7 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190264146042&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=009 I was hoping for Big Bottles :shock: but I'm guessing they are Chinese, I needed a set of matched spares anyhow. Any info appreciated. Thanks

Bump, is simply bringing the thread back to the top, to hopefully get you some help. Looks like it worked :)

Bump for Harry

If it was made to the exact C+ specs, I would pre order one.

I signed that a couple of years ago, I love the tones of the Mark II series, maybe someday a new C+ will be mine :)

How hard are you hitting V1?? I've found that level into V1 can make it break up faster. If you're cookin' V1 you could start turning the heat down there. On my Mark IIB it'll break up earlier with humbuckers and later with single coils, and that can change on how hot the pickups are. I...

This is the Jan Phillips 7581A: http://www.eifl.co.jp/index/tube/image/phi_7581a.jpg I have also have a quad of these International Servicemaster fakes. http://www.vacuumtubesinc.com/hos7581.html They came with my Superbassman years ago, they are Sovtecs rebranded as 7581a's, so be alert when...

I tried the TAD 6L6STR's a couple of years ago, I really liked them, but I stuck in 7581A's again. The TAD's where great though, very close to the 7581A's, I still have them and I'm thinking on buying another pair to put in my Superbassman. I still have a lifetime supply of 7581A's for my...

This what I use in my Mark IIB Power Tubes:JAN Philips 7581A (6L6GC) This is the mil spec version of the Philips 6L6GC. These are world class tubes, bottom line. It has double mica spacers but otherwise looks and sounds identical to the famous Sylvania 6L6GC STR. The Sylvania 6L6GC STR is the...

Sounds like it could be an impedance mismatch between the output of your processing gear and the input of the boogie. Another thing to check is if you amps FX loop is parallel or series, that creates some problems too.
