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...

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...

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...

Hi I'm looking to buy a headshell for a mark iic. Wanting a hardwood wicker as shown in the ad on my local classifieds. Pic 1 in the ad is my ideal. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/oakleigh-south/guitars-amps/wtb-mesa-mark-headshell-hardwood-wicker-/1254925068?edited=true&posttoebay=false...

Hi all I have a question for the technical boogie family. - I run my iic+ into the poweramp of the JP2C - I use slave out instead of FX Loop from the iic+ to capture power amp tone (inc the Pull Deep) - Pull Deep is hardwired on in the JP2C - The signal returns into the JP using the FX...

A Quad preamp became available local to me at a decent price so I picked it up. Am very very happy with it so far and It is much better than I thought it would be. It does sound a bit different to my c+ but that is expected as I've not yet run it through the c+ powersmp which I'll test out at...

Hi all I recently almost sold my V (was a done deal that fell through at the last minute - I had packed up and all). When I fell through I was so relieved and have been playing it more and more over the last couple weeks as a result. I have started using IV mode and recorded the god that failed...

Hi all So I finally got around to putting something together to demo some of the tones in the lead channel of my DRG. This amp is just too good. The playing is geared mostly toward metal / prog metal... is very much unstructured, unplanned with lots os shameless chugga chugga and some lead...

Hey guys For those with the LTD models, how are your signatures holding up? My JP sits in my study out of any direct light and feel like it's fading. I'll try post pics when I can. Anyone else noticed anything similar?

I recently bought a 22+ for the headshell from a board member. I honestly didn’t know what to expect and am amazed at how great it sounds. I mainly play metal so I’m looking at the amp through that lens but from videos I’ve seen it does blues and other genres pretty well also. It has that...

Hi All I was testing out the reamping on the new axe fx and put together a short vid comparing the heavy rhythm or lead channels of the Mark V, JP2C and c+ as well as an Axe FX preset I made to mimic the JP2C. Despite being a short clip you can tell the slight tonal differences between the...

These past few months I've reshuffled some of my guitars leading to a couple new guitars. I've historically played Ibanez Jem's and RG's and this is my first experience with Ernie Ball Guitars and they are spectacular. Build quality, tonal versatility, wood, all of it is insane. Majesty...

Hi all There's a Mark IV listed locally (sort of) and the guy is asking a super cheap asking price because a couple of the knobs are broken. From what I've read on the forum these can be fix or pots replaced. This doesn't really bother me too much. Issue is I have my ideal setup with a JP2c...

Hi All I took some photos of the internals of my c+ when I was transferring from combo to head. For any of the c+ experts out there, and / or boogie babies, is there any insight you could provide as to what I have? Based on the serial number (mid 13,000s) and some of the internals I know its a...

I am lost for words. Just picked up an original mid 13,000 loaded DRG and it is ... spectacular. I cannot believe how good this amp is. The tone hype is completely justified.

Hi All Recently I took a couple weeks off work and one of the things on my to do list was to try to write a quick song. A little bit of background about me. I'm in my early 30s and used to be in a thrash heavy metal band in my late teens / early 20s for about 4-5yrs. We were not musically...

Hi I'm having an issue with my Mark and hoping to see if someone might be able to shed some light on what the causes / fixes might be. The issue is that on Channel 3 there is no output. Just for a bit of background and process of elimination... Channel 1 and 2 work fine. My understanding is...

Hi A little while back I did some recording of Metallica riffs running through the V (AT7). Today I re-ran some of those tracks through the JP2C to A/B them. Both sound great, but the JP has a bit more thump and authority. Link https://youtu.be/uogjYHozXKw Mark V: has the Jan Philips AT7...

Hi All I managed to get some time to put together an AB video of the mark V Channel 3 (all modes) against the JP2C. As previously highlighted by some compare threads on here, to me the JP seems to have the best qualities of each of the modes and has a bigger sound with more authority. They are...

Hi all I received my JP2c late last week and getting acquainted. I've noticed the knobs on my amp vary in turning resistance (physical). Ch 1: Master dial has less resistance Ch 2 / 3: Gain and Presence dials have less resistance Just wanted to check if consistent with yours and to see if...
