I agree with the amp being turned up sounding better. I play as loud as I can to get the big tube sound. That and to get a good tickle in very special places :oops: . Nothing beats a crunk tube amp. I do have the on board EQ but i have never really tried messing with it as this is the first amp...

Currently I am using a stock 87 Mark III mostly with an 82 strat with Suhr vintage 60's and a DiMarzio Fast Track II. I also use a stock Epiphone Dot and an Epiphone Les Paul Standard. In pedals I use a Boss noise gate, an Ernie Ball volume, a Crybaby 535Q, and a RAT. I love the clean and the R1...

Seems that I am on an endless search to find a tone I am satisfied with. I have tried several pedals (mostly Boss) and the amp channels and none of them are quite right. The pedals mostly sound a little to fizzy or I don't get the sustain I am after with them. Pedals I have tried: Boss DS-1...

Congrats and welcome. My experience with my MarkIII is kind of a love hate relationship. Some days I can turn it on and it sounds like a Mesa should (bad *** tone). Some days it seems like things never get warmed up and the tone is very "thin". Could just be my ears though. Some people have told...

Straight forward enough. Thanks. Anything else?

I am planning to build a rack case for my MarkIII head, a tuner, EQ, possibly a preamp, etc..... I plan to make the front and rear panels removable for live use (obviously). My question is if I use foam around the head to protect it and have the front and back open, will that be enough...

Agreed!!! Sorry to highjack but I have an 87 Mark III head and 4x12 cabinet with the Mesa black shadows. I have read here that there are much better speakers out there then the black shadows. What would you guys recommend? The style I play is usually a bluesy rock or driving country thing. A...

Whether or not a dist\OD pedal is needed depends on the user (of course). I have used a few diffrent dist\od pedals with mine. I am currently using a RAT but in the past I have used a DS-1, Blues Driver, Metal Zone, and the OD\dist that Boss makes (I don't remember the model number). I plan on...

Because I spent so much on my guitars, amps, and cables. :lol:

I play my MarkIII on half power at around 2 - 2.5 through a 4x12 cabinet with black shadows

My MarkIII has an additional switch. I have power, standby, full or half power, and the 3 way EQ switch. Now let me say that the only mesa i have ever been associated with is mine so i may be a little out of my league here.
