These grilles were used on my Boogie Mark IIB and it's matching Thiele cab. Both are in excellent condition. They each measure 17"x13 1/8" (the extra 1/8" is the foam ensures a tight fit). The Thiele grille has screws. The amp grille does not. The amp grille will fit any of the Mark Series...

Hey. I've got two black replacement grills. One is for a Mark IIB combo (has the screws in it) and the other is for a Boogie Thiele (no screws). I'm planning on selling them but would like to know if they'll fit any of the other Mark Series amps? Also wondering how much to charge, if anyone...

Hey. It's been awhile, but I'm still alive and kickin'! My first "real" electric was a '69 LP Gold Top. I got it very cheap because it was really, really beat up. But it played and sounded great and I was very poor...so I just got into it and had fun. The changes it's seen since I started...

My brother's a serious audiophile. I helped him pack for a big move over the weekend. I'd told him that the 12AX7 that powered the Lead Drive on my Mark IIB (a GrooveTube) had crapped out on me and I was using an NEC that I'd found at a garage sale, for the time being. He gave me two...

Hi. I'd wanted a lightweight alternative to my IIB combo but in the end realized just how much I'd miss it's beautiful clean tones. So I'm having it converted to a head. Split the weight. I'd love to have a fully functional effects loop and the reverb sitting back a bit further...but am...

I took a 15 year time off from electric to bring up my one and only daughter. In that time, I went back to solo acoustic. It was a guitar or two, a 20lb acoustic amp or no amp if there was a PA in the club. Now I'm playing in a band again. I have a Mark IIB that's in excellent condition. New...

Hey. I've had my IIB since 1980. It's a great amp. It's gotten heavier and I'm playing/jamming out, again. Every time I'm ready to go out, I look at the Boogie and hesitate. It's not that I can't pick it up. It's that I don't want to. I often grab my practice amp if it's a small venue. So I...

I keep hearing about how you have to have the Mark Series amps cranked to get that "natural breakup". Not so in my case and I'm wondering if any of you have the same: My IIB had the original EVM12L in there for decades. During that time I just loved the cleans and used different pedals or the...

Hoping for some help, people: It's probably a preamp tube, but before I take it out of the chassis: > There's no crackling sound when nothing's plugged in, but you can definitely tell its on when you crank it. Not a 'hum' but more of a very minor 'white noise'. is it supposed to be dead quiet...

OK...I think I've finally got this figured out. I came back to the electric after a very long solo acoustic trek. While reacquainting myself with my Mark IIB, I read posts and articles about a little known feature, unique to the IIA and IIB: "Gain on the fly". I could get this feature by...

I've had my Mark IIB since 1980. It's a keeper. 60/100W, EQ, Gain/EQ switch. Great amp. Had a complete overhaul last Spring. Caps/Tubes/cleanup etc. Replaced the longtime EVM12L with a Jensen C12K. Sounded better than ever. Noticed a burning smell last night. Turned the amp off. It didn't turn...

Hey. I've posted a similar thread, but have a quick question: I know the Effects Loop mod changes the lead tone. Does it do the same to the clean tone? Thanks for your time, guys.

Hey. I've got a stock Mark IIB. One of my favorite settings for a clean funk rhythm (esp with a Strat or Tele) is a heavily scooped 5 band eq. Lately I've been really into using that EQ for the lead gain sounds...and I'm having a hard time finding that flat funk sound that I love, using the...

Ever since I got back into my electric, back in January (I'd been in solo acoustic land for awhile), I've played nothing but my G&L ASAT Classic and Strat through it. Great, great sounds. I love those guitars. The other day I decided to check out my Silhouette. It was my go to guitar when I was...

I don't get it. The only time I can see it is if you're cranking it and playing the amp through the guitar pots. Then you definitely need it loud and it really does sound awesome. BUT... Isn't that why Mr Smith developed the dual channel concept to begin with? I can get fantastic tone out of...

I finally took the plunge and replaced the original, 1980 EVM12L in my Mark IIB Combo 60/100 with a Jensen C12K. It took 10 lbs off of the amp, which is noticeable...but it's still heavy. Definitely a bit of a welcome break for my back...but not as significant as I'd hoped. So, I could put...

I brought my IIB to Davidson Electronics for a free consultation. It already had new caps/resistors/tubes and a general cleanup done, recently...but after a couple of weeks it just didn't seem "right". So I heard about Davidson Electronics (Corey Davidson's the owner) and they offered the free...

Hey. I've got my IIB. I'm wondering if this is "normal" in Lead Drive: Lead Drive knob is engaged and set at around 5 (I'm into a lighter OD, lately). Vol 1 is at 10 and Master Vol at about 2. Lead Master is pulled for brightness. Here's the twist: when I turn Lead Master up, it stops...

Hi, I've got a Mark IIB combo. Reverb and EQ. Great amp. Up 'till now I've had the gain set at 7-8. My go to reverb sound blends perfectly with both the Lead and Clean channels at that setting. Now I'm into a more subtle OD, so I set the gain at about 5. I love the sound, but the reverb cuts...

Sorry...had to delete this...Mark IIB's a great, great amp...that's what's important.
