    Is this a good price for a Mesa Boogie Studio Preamp ?

    Hi The studio pre is amazing. You are correct, running the preamp direct (without a power amp) is one of the features of the preamp and should not do any harm to the preamp. EUR750 seems like a pretty good price for it.

    What Mesa has the best cleans?

    For me, IIC+ has the best cleans of the amps I've tried. It is the warmest while also being extremely transparent and fully tweak able with all the pull functions. Probably followed closely by III no stripe, then quad and studio, then JP. Amps I've tried - IIC+ - III (Various) - IV - V - JP -...

    Early IIC to IIC+ Conversion, Serial 12119

    Beautiful amp you have there. My SRG is an upgraded c+ in the early 11K serial range and has similar writing on the top of the chassis and Mike confirmed it is his handwriting and fairly sure that's Mike's initials on the back panel. Mine has the RP11A board so it was modded while the preamp...

    JP2C Power Transformer (Export / Voltages / x101)

    Thanks. Yeah I have a step-down and have been running it that way for a few years. The x101 was the production c+ Export transformer so I am curious to see if and how it impacts the tone, but more so will give me 240v. If it's a reversible mod I'm ok with that. If irreversible I'd be more...

    JP2C Power Transformer (Export / Voltages / x101)

    Thanks yeah I did have a suspicion they were different. I've just discovered we can now upload pics directly to the board, what a win. Thanks for the forum upgrade, so much better in a lot of ways.

    JP2C Power Transformer (Export / Voltages / x101)

    Hi all I have an early JP2C LTD which is US 120v. I live in Australia and just curious is the PT is one with multitaps and can be rewired to work with 240v or if it is a different transformer for the export models? Separately, I have come across a couple of x101 PTs that I could get installed...

    Hardwood varieties

    Padauk would be another. Unless that's another name for one of the varieties already listed.

    Anyone running a Cabinet Simulator?

    Actually, it looks like the captor is reactive load as well.

    Anyone running a Cabinet Simulator?

    Hey mate Mine is the reload which has no onboard cab sims. Yeah the Torpedo Live would be a good option, I think it's reactive similar to the reload and an upgrade from the captor. Looks like they've discontinued it but the captor X has onboard Dynamic IR. Or even the new Cabclone IR. I think...

    Mark III 105 voltages

    Hi all Potentially daft question. A little while ago I was fortunate to find an 85 no stripe with the 105 PT. I was wondering if the 105 in the III has the same plate voltages as it does in the IIC+, and therefore need some 415/416s to withstand the voltages (ie 483v+). Or is there something...

    What types of effects are you using with The JP2C+

    I use an AXE FX in 4CM. Before the amp I have Volume, Wah, Compressor, Chorus After the amp I have Delay, Reverb I have a couple others that I never use and am experimenting with. This is my current Preset for the JP2C. I've setup a preset for each amp that I use as main rhythm, a separate...

    SOB Headshells

    Hi all I have two Son of Boogie long head shells that I want to confirm compatibility with other models. Does anyone know if the SOB "Long" (ie medium) headshell would fit any of the mark I - Mark IV medium heads? Appreciate there was a change in mounting screw positioning on the short...

    Mark V (AT7) vs JP2C - Metallica video (with GEQ)

    Hi Decker Unfortunately I don't have the V any more. I have a IIC+ DRG, so if you're wanting to see how the JP's preamp sounds into the IIC+ DRG power amp, I can put something like that together.

    Mark V:25 to V90

    Aside from a different power amp, the 25 also has a higher internally set volume 1 level in the preamp. This would be adding to the difference you hear and feel while playing.

    My Mark Five 90 is trashed/ Resolved 2/14/22

    Hey mate I’ve watched the video and have a couple of observations. Some of the amp behaviours I think could be explained, at least from what I see in the video. Some potentially might be a problem, being the hum and potential issue on channel 1. The hum could also be caused by the amp...
