Ok, so tonight (just now!) I ran my Mark III in stereo with my Marshall Vintage modern. The chain looked like this: SKB Stage 5 pedal board (mono->stereo split) -> Mark III -> 4x12 + 2x12 -> Marshall VM 2x12 combo + homemade 112...

Schumacher still makes transformers, but I have no idea what the winding/build specs are on the transformers and again, I am 99.9% certain Randall isn't just isn't going to give that info out to have custom transformers built. Now, I dunno if a IIC+ has ever had to have a factory replacement...

No, and I doubt we/anyone will. A) we are protective of our secret tones. B) Mesa's simulclass technology is patented. C) What makes the C+'s tone and "mojo" isn't just a cold diagram of it's circuits but it's selection of parts and it's tedious selection of components and the transformers are...

Adding to my growing collection of Marshalls! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFmbEGqz1vY&feature=youtu.be A new stack for my brilliant vintage modern...just not as big... :lol:

Nice. Use the LA610 on the drums too? Sounds very Oingo Boingo. Killer tones.

Ditto. Magic level gain and swirly overtones - then poof.

I guess a good question to ask would be what (era) or (player) Marshall sound would you be going for Bill? Certain Marshall amps are cheap like the DSL and TSL and can be had for the crunch and lead tones, but if you seek those early Plexi tones and you are a tone guru with a precise ear, then...

I use some really wierd settings on my R2 channel to get my Plexi sound and I'd say it 90% nails it (haven't used it live yet since I just recently - past year- got my Marshall to A/B it). But it really only works on channels 1 and 2 either by dropping the gain on Ch2 or ramping up the gain on...

So, we're all Mesa players here and sometimes it's hard (i'm sure) for us to keep it a secret that the Mesa is the secret to our tones, but what are the pedals you guys have found are the "secret sound" pedals? Ones that really do the trick either live or behind the mic? Just curious because...

Very awesome! I want the El Capistan something fierce!

Play on R2 with Volume 1 on 5 and the treble on 7. Pull treble and bass and adjust presence and Master volume to taste. My R2 is pretty **** hot on my blue stripe with 12ax7s in all the slots adjusted for metal, and playing on R2 gets me anywhere from a sweeeet Clean Marshall sound, to an...

I agree with CoG, Outboard reverbs have alot more flexability in terms of tone live and in studio. It's one more piece of gear - whether a pedal up to a big tank, but they certainly outperform a built in spring tank. I live by mine. I have a vintage Furman RV-1 in a rack for live, and just got a...

If the voice coil isn't torn then a speaker shop could repair it for you for cheap since it's a pretty minor fix. Great score!! Glad those EV's are intact!

Ah yes, I remember my second honeymoon... ...and my third one...

Just so you know, the TungSol 6L6 is also a short-bottle 6L6 that is designed around the 5881 as well. It is kind of hybridized though, giving closer to the power output of the 6L6GC's plate structure and the ruggedized build of a 5881 without the low power (though I haven't used them...

Mark III vs. IIC+ ...hmmm, there has to be an opinion about that somewhere around here...

Was it the TAD power tubes that you got? The TAD 6L6WGC-STR is really a 5881 in disguise (read WGC) and only puts out about 17 watts at idle. It is a rock/blues tube as apposed to the much more venerable Sylvania 6L6GC-STR415/387. 5881 tubes definitely do not have that "Boogie Magic" for me -...

The Mark I mode on the Mark V has more gain on tap than the original. I find it super awesome. What it doesn't have is the massive power overhead from the first turn of the master knob - the Mark V's master knob is much more "tamed" so that when the knob is on 1, you get reasonable volume and...

Here are 2 songs i've decided to release without remaster that I did from a 6 song EP in college right after I returned from Chicago back to Alabama. No rock and roll, no Mesa, just acoustic. Thought i'd throw them up here for a changeup and see what you guys thought... Track 1...

Lol, we've all done it. I remember posting a thread like this a few years ago when my DD3 had a dead battery or something (of course then my MKIII blew up like a week later, go figure!). But i've got a buggy wah thats my favorite that happens to sometimes never turn all the way off sometimes and...
