All these vids are great ! Thank you Brandon for sharing.

No idea ?

Hi, Silverwulf wrote several great pages about Metallica and Boogie stuff : really interesting ! This one deals with the Strategy 400 : Gear Spotlight: Mesa Boogie Strategy 400 Power Amp There are three versions of the Strategy 400. 1/ Which one sounds best to yours ears ? 2/ Setting the...

So to you in studio situation, the Strategy 400 has an impact on the sound. During the Black album tours, a Rocktron Juice Extractor was present in James's rack next to the IIC+.

A IIC + DRG is Simulclass but the Strategy 400 is not. What makes you think that the power sections of these two amps are close ?

Thanks for your answers guys. At any level ? I ask you this because of the Fletch-Munson curves at low volume the ear is most sensitive to mid-frequencies whereas at high level, the bass will be heard more prominently. Yes, there is no interview about Metallica using the Strategy 400, we...

Hi guys, Since Metallica use Boogie amps, they often used their IIC+(+) slaved into Strategy 400 poweramps, in studio and live situations. I’ve never owned/tried a Strategy 400. Why Metallica did that ? Just to increase the level of the their sound because the level of the sound of the IIC+...

Hi, I would like to buy a Mark IV rev A here in France. I would like to take a head (a long one) but there are not lots of opportunities here and if I find a short combo for a good price in good conditions, I will take it ! My questions : 1/ Can I use a combo plugged into a cab as if it was...

Hi, I love the sound of this guy : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmZdxhL0pKk Maybe he's a user of this board. What's your opinion about his amp : - is it a C+ or C++ ? - is it DRG or KRG ? Thanks.

You guys who have the V AND the JP2C, have you ever tried to the use the JP2C preamp into the (simulclass) poweramp section of the V ? If yes, how does it sound/feel ? Thanks.

Thank you for your answer Thaymz. Yes, if you do this, it would be really interesting because you could tell us the differencies you hear/feel between the two power amp sections when you compare them with the same preamp. Thanks Thaymz.

Very nice video, thank you for sharing. I hope you still have these amps. As the JP2C is not simulclass and the Mark V is, why not trying this : DI tracks -> JP2C -> Effect send of JP2C -> Effect Return of Mark V Do you think the result will be closer to a real DRG IIC+ ? Thanks Thaymz

Thanks for your answer rarebitusa. Someone on this forum also said that he had good results pluging the preamp of the JP2C in the power section of the Mark V.

Hi, Some of you have the chance to have multiple Mesa amps and have tried to plug the preamp of one amp into the poweramp section of another one. What are your best results and how do you plug them (do you use the send of the FX loop or the Slave out) ? Thanks.

OK, thanks Audiokill

Hi, Do you think it could be possible to replicate the sound of the IIC++ by using a IIC+ and putting a boost (tube screamer...) in front of it. Thanks

I’ve just bought a IIC+ from a friend who owned it for ten years. So now I have the IIC+ and a JP2C. I love them both. I would like to have a IIC++ but I don’t want my IIC+ to be modded. Reading this thread, I had an idea but I need some help : do you think it would be possible to have my IIC+...

Thank you very much guys for your help.

Thank you very much. On the IIC+, it's located after, right ?

Hi, I'd like to know where is located the graphic EQ in the Mark V ? Before or after the FX loop ? Thanks.
