    Special thanks to GTS2 plus I got my mark I back

    GTS2 contacted me about an original Anvil case for my IIC. It arrived exactly as described and now my new to me hardwood cabinet is safe and sound. In addition I got my Mark I back from Slemmons and it's even better than ever.

    Who is Still Gigging Their Vintage Mark Series Amps?

    I rehearse with my IIC and previously my 90 Mark I ri twice a week and play shows with em. I used to gig 60's fender amps so the Boogies seem new :)

    Loud consistent hum with my Mark I Reissue

    Just an update... Picked it up from Slemmons Music today in Dallas, TX It was the 12at7 reverb driver that was causing the hum, 1 of the power tubes wasn't functioning (the heater element failed) and the other 3 were weak. In addition one of the pots had been replaced with a low quality one...

    Mk 2 c+ magic?

    Man, thank you for pointing me to that thread! A good read for sure. Since I don't really use effects loops, and love the amp right now I can't justify sending it to Mesa to modify. I usually run the lead gain around 4, and the input volume around 8 with my LPC with the Shaw humbuckers. They're...

    Mk 2 c+ magic?

    That's the plan. :) I've had a few more rehearsals with the IIC, as well as spending hours up at our studio playing it and it keeps blowing my mind. Truly an amazing amp, and I've had the pleasure of owning some truly iconic amps ranging from old brownface Fenders to Marshall Jubilees as well...

    I went to buy what was listed as a Mesa Mark III

    Thanks, y'all. As I said in the OP, I bought it to use thinking it was a III as the ad listed, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it is a IIC. Before I had it in my hands I had thought about flipping it, picking up a III and pocketing the difference. However, once I plugged in I realized...

    Mk 2 c+ magic?

    I'm not completely opposed to an upgrade at some point, but for now the stock amp is just blowing my mind. Absolutely no fizz at all, and it's easily the best amp I've ever played or owned. I loved my old no stripe 3, don't get me wrong. In fact, I went to buy what I thought WAS a Mark III...

    Mk 2 c+ magic?

    I just picked up a normal IIC (not +) and I feel it is by far the best Mark I've owned to date. There's a musical harmonic rich quality to the IIC that I haven't found in my other Marks. I considered sending it to Mesa for the + mod, but the gentleman I spoke with at Mesa told me it's a gain...

    I went to buy what was listed as a Mesa Mark III

    Hahaha not at all I had just gotten back in the country and read the ad that stated it was a black stripe Mark III. I had been looking to buy another one to replace one I sold years ago so we agreed on the price. Due to jet lag and brain dead I just missed that it is indeed a Mark IIC. I was...

    I went to buy what was listed as a Mesa Mark III

    I just read about the loop test today, so I'll be trying it tonight after work :) Thanks, and yes it has the EV12L! My Mesa Mark I that currently has a buzzing issue has an Eminence Delta Pro 12a and it is definitely not a proper EVM clone.

    I went to buy what was listed as a Mesa Mark III

    And this is what it actually is: A fully loaded Mark IIC. The serial number places it in the possible IIC+ range. It's in mint condition, aside from where the + would be. The sharpie looks to be a bit worn off, but there's definitely a small mark above the power cord, and MB's...

    Loud consistent hum with my Mark I Reissue

    Unfortunately the ground switch did not make a difference Two things happened leading up to the noise It rode in the trunk of my car for a couple weeks and got bumped around I got a reverb pedal and tried running it through the effects loop I don't know if I knocked something loose in...

    Loud consistent hum with my Mark I Reissue

    I traded away my old Dual Recto for a Mark I that seemed to work for a few weeks. After a few weeks it suddenly developed a loud hum that occurs anytime the amp is on. It hums when no guitar is plugged in, when no effects are in the loop, when I try using a patch cable in the effects loop, and...
