Aren't the old 75's different sounding speakers to the newer ones? I definitely get closer with 65s than 75s these days.

Complex amps. Put me firmly in the "Mesa would make tons of money if they made a Mark VI variant that was just a great lead sound, a great clean sound and costs half what a Mark V does" camp. By all means make a VI with all the bells and whistles, but I think a lot of people just want those two...

Might have found a typo/error in the IIC+ schematic, it says delete C30 but that's going by the III's naming. Looks like C30 on a III is C32 on a II?

Isn't C26 missing in Blues and Greens (and possibly earlier?)? Great work all around man.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0J6Tx9zRsY Bit of a comparison between the two amps. The 60w is an export Blue Stripe that had its lead section modded to Red Stripe specs as the Blues and Greens change the lead section pretty significantly. There's a handful of mods to the rest of the preamp...

Try changing out preamp tubes?

No clips/videos yet for reasons below, but there will be some high quality ones coming this week. Lots and lots and lots and lots of gain. Controllable and tight - much better with EL34s in the outer pair. The ++ mod instantly gets you into Black Album territory. Compared to my half-modded Blue...

Nice one, cheers!

Nice job, I've got a spare Mark III I need to rackmount, where did you get the shelf unit? I've not been able to find much in the way of affordable ones.

They're actually pretty cool through an FX loop 8)

Just about finished this. Built a shell for my Mark III 60W, although it'll soon be housing a IIIc+/++. It's a little imperfect because it was done with hand tools and I'm a total carpentry novice, but I think it came out great. Because I knew it would always look a little rough I thought...

IIRC There were a few Greens wired 100/60w.

I might have already asked you but is this something unique to the C+ upgrades or do you have photos of stock C+ amps with it too?

Cool little mod, looks fun to do.

When did you get hold of a red III++? I wonder what Mike B's + mod is compared to the one you did on your black stripe. I mean for all intents and purposes your black stripe is a IIc+ not a III+

So guessing the power section will revert to 75w on a Green with triode selected? Rather than 85w on pentode?

What will I need to do this? Will it differ at all to a stock triode in terms of sound?

How pronounced is the difference in low end? Is the tightness comparable?

It's not a IIc+ but I'm about to send a Mark III 60geq to jrb to finish off a III+ mod, he'll be able to compare it to a IIc+ sound. Apparently they're basically the same as the 100w but with less headroom but we'll see.

Ah so it's essentially the same as the fx send? Thanks!
