I'm finally going to bite the bullet and get my Mark I restored – over the last 10 years one thing after another has broken (the reverb, then the pilot light, then the GEQ…) and I'm going to treat it to a full resto as a 44th birthday present. My first question for any UK folks, now that John...

I was playing last night and after about an hour, my C+ powered itself off. No pops / bangs / extra noise / smells / smoke / drama, just a fade out in volume (same as the sound of the caps draining when you switch to standby while playing). I've only ever had a single tube go bad in the past (an...

Has anyone got any experience or recommendations for running an attenuator with their Mark II, or any other vintage Marks? Everywhere seems to recommend the UA Ox, but I'm not really that bothered with a lot of the recording features, and all of the demos online are with Deluxes and JTM-45s...

Wanted to gather some thoughts / experiences on the use of buffers and the FX loop of the IIC+ According to this article https://mesaboogie.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/226119347-Should-I-use-a-Buffer-in-my-amp-s-effects-loop- published by Mesa, all amps since the IIC+ have had a buffered FX...

I like to play with the reverb on my C+ engaged, but dialling it in tends to roll off a little bit of the high end and I don't like the compromise to the tone. At a recent service the tech told me the amp and circuit were in fine shape, and that it was a common (and not 'fixable') request from...

Part 1 – New amp day After spending a couple of pleasant but ultimately suboptimal years with a BFDR + some fancy boutique mid-gain distortion pedals as my main rig, I'm back in the Boogie fold – I finally convinced myself to just spend the cash already and get a IIC+. Here's a picture of my...

I have a Mark II head being shipped to me at the moment and need to get a cab. My previous Marks have all been combos, although I had a great sounding 1x12 early 90s open back cab a couple of years ago so I'd love to get another. Ideally an 80s/90s EVM12L open back would make itself available...

After a Boogie 1x12, compact (Mark series) style. EVM12L, open back. PM me if you've got one for sale :) Based in London. Cheers!

Does anyone know how much Mesa charge for an empty headshell for a Mark II (short) in the UK? Would a Mark III or IV shell fit? Alternatively, can you get unloaded hardwood 1x12 cabinets from them?

FS RJM MasterMind MIDI controller (w. 20ft powered MIDI cable) RJM Mini Effect Gizmo switcher I've had these for about 2 years as part of my BFDR rig to switch a couple of dirt pedals on and off – I'm going back to a multi-channel Boogie rig soon so these will be surplus to requirements. Never...

The market in the UK is pretty dry and looking for amps with X transformers is too limiting, so I'm looking at a couple of 80s USA (110/117v) Mark series amps which potentially could be shipped over here. This means I'll have to get a step-down tranny, about which I have two questions: a) Does...

Sold my IIB and IV a couple of years ago, and it's time to get back to my roots. Any C+ owners out there – if you're in or around London, I'm in the market for your amp. In no great hurry, but just wanted to put the feelers out and see if anybody is looking to divest themselves of their Boogie...

I have a 1977 Mark I and I want to use it as a channel switching amplifier. I used to have an A/B/Y box that did the trick, but I've since upgraded my switching system with an RJM Mini Effect Gizmo. I've set up the effect gizmo to use my BFDR as a clean channel and the Mark I for lead by hooking...

Very reluctant sale here of my 1977 15" Mark I combo amp. This is an amazing sounding amplifier that I've owned for the last 5 years, and I'm feeling guilty about not giving it the attention it deserves. More, better pictures coming. Located in Sussex. This is a fully loaded HRGX-spec amplifier...

Rothwell Love Squeeze compressor stompbox: The Love Squeeze is the most transparent compressor pedal out there, perfectly preserving your tone while adding natural definition and sustain. I bought this pedal a couple of weeks ago (still have the receipt from the 18th March) and it definitely...

For sale: Mesa/Boogie Mark IV 1x12 combo. Absolutely awesome amplifier with more features than almost anything else out there; supremely versatile, and exquisitely built. Electro-Voice EVM12L speaker. The amp is in mint condition, and has only ever been used at home. £1100 ono, PM me or reply...

For sale: Squier Esprit (Robben Ford model). Excellent condition, great sounding guitar. £250. PM or reply for more details.

For sale, sadly, is my 1981 Mark IIB combo amp. The amp is HRGX spec – 100W, reverb, graphic EQ, with the voltage-switchable export transformer – and is finished in cream tolex. Aside from the reverb knob missing from the back panel of the amp, it's in beautiful condition. A truly awesome...

Mesa/Boogie 1x12 cabinet with an EVM12L speaker. Comes with the original slip cover. There is a (very) slight tear in the grille cloth, and I've connected a 1.5m cable directly to the speaker as the jack socket got to be a bit loose (this does not affect the performance of the cab in any way)...

I'm selling my Roland JC-50 Jazz Chorus amp. This is a 50W 1x12 version of the JC-120 amp, and is much, much more portable. A beautiful sounding amp indeed, and a bargain at £250. PM me or reply for more info.
