    DC5 Reverb low?

    Anyone find their DC5's reverb volume on the low-ish side, wishing you had a "12" or even a "13"? I tried two different 12ax7, and even had a spare reverb tank from an old MK: neither swaps made any volume difference. My verb "sounds" right, but have it cranked to 8-10 at times and I'm...

    Fan Question...

    Do DCs in combo cabs need a fan? I always wondered why lots of Marks of old had fans, yet many did not. What was Boogie's rationale? And to the point: would a DC5 benefit at all? Yeah, I know my EL84 amps run hotter than my 6L6s, and don't have fans... Edward

    DC5 Owners: which one do you have?

    Just curious, mind you. I was perusing comments on the "DC Club/Cartel" thread and noticed that nearly every DC5 pic was of version B. It just brought me to wondering, of you guys here, which version DC5 do you own? BTW, my die is cast for Version A :) Edward

    DC5 with an EVM...

    Wow! No really, wow!!! Keep in mind, I love the MC90. Great speaker with lovely mids and smooth top. But on a whim (and desiring a bit more bottom end but didn't want to sacrifice the great mids/highs), I decided to try an EVM12L. I love this speaker anyway ...should have kept my old one...

    Experiment with your preamp/poweramp volumes...nice!

    It is worth it! Try with the preamp vol set low and the output high, say around 8. Then try bringing up the preamp about one to one and a half numbers and adjust the output accordingly. And everywhere in between. In the Clean channel, not a world of difference: it's there, but the tonal...

    LSS 112 combo cab ...want to go to a head anyone?

    Any of you LSS owners thinking of perhaps converting from your 112 combo cab to a head? ...and thereby desiring to perhaps sell your combo cab to me? Just wondering ...thanks! Edward

    Express footswitch cable length?

    Anyone ever need more length? What would be the easiest way to extend the cable length for the footswitch? (amp going backstage for isolation) Thanks! Edward

    Don't you just love a compliment!

    I mean really, it doesn't happen to me often, which may tell you something about my playing :D But for the last few times now, playing through my DC5, I gotten compliments on my tone ...notably the rich, sweet OD just filling the house! And this was from both my Strat and the LPC. This DC5...

    Real, Original Mark I ...your thoughts and advice, please!

    Hey all, Of those of you who know these beasts, I am looking for your advice. An acquaintance of mine has a real (NOT reissue) Mark I combo in blonde, with th orig Altec 12", has the GEQ, and I think reverb, too. It's in great shape, had it "gone over" by a notable tech in LA maybe 5 years...

    Higher on the "master output" lower on the "preamp"...

    ...equals niiice!! I used to, admittedly by habit, have the master output volume set at about 3 and adjusted individual preamp volumes accordingly, whether it was practice or gig volume, which almost always is pretty conservative. But on a lark, I tried doing the opposite yesterday and set the...

    DCs Slave or Recording outputs?

    Anyone try both the Slave jack and the Recording jack and compare them? Recent talk of using the Slave has got me wondering about which would sound better for live use if mic'ing were not an option (if stage volume needs to be super low): which signal would sound more like my amp if fed to the...

    Mark I ...original. Update: What would you pay??

    Yup, an original Mark I combo, dyno tape, Altec spkr, blonde tolex, good shape that I know of and "may" be up for my consideration. I do NOT "need" this amp (I sold off others and left myself with two "core" amps, thank you). But this seems like a cool part of Boogie history, and so am...

    Great Deal for anyone interested in a DC10

    No affiliation, but thought I'd post this ...so I don't have to buy it!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330397733593&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Seems like a great deal, especially if you're in NoCal. FWIW, I found the owner's listing on TGP forum with a link to his ebay...

    The long screw in the center of the chassis??

    Anyone take out their chassis yet? Just curious, but looking up at the tubes, around the center of my 5:25 chassis, there is a long screw that seems to do absolutely nothing? anyone know what this is for? Grounding? Vibration? ??? Edward

    You just gotta give it a try ...Tube Content

    I am a tube experimenter. I stop when I find the "right" recipe that suits my ears. But I have to admit, I like "personalizing" the tone of an amp that I already like to one that I can really love. I've done this to a number of my Boogies and Fenders. It is a time-consuming task, and also...

    Ridiculous how good it is!

    Sorry, I gotta share. This DC5 has been with me for over a decade; it has seen lots of play; it is my #1 go-to amp despite having other amps to play with; never let me down in any live use whatsoever. So plugging into it again this last weekend I was reminded of just how incredible this amp is...

    Am I the only one not liking the 5 watt mode? ...misc musing

    OK, I've read so much on this board and TGP, with so much praise over the 5w mode. I tried ...and tried some more. Then tried other settings, really spending some time. Yup, no shortage of tries. I just can't get myself to play in 5w mode. Too thin, missing depth, gutted low end. Harmonics...

    5:25 combo ...verdict :)

    Yeah, it's official now ...I love this thing! Yeah, the little 10" combo even. FWIW, I am no stranger to Boogies as I have a DC5 keeper (which has served me faithfully for over a decade and is still my #1 go-to amp), Mark III Simul, DC10, and Subway. I wanted a small grab-n-go and rolled the...

    Reducing high gain "sizzle" ...or??

    Hey all, Newly acquired 5:25 (10") here. Digging the clean channel, but still learning the beast overall, and I am no stranger to how Boogies tweak. Yes, I read the manual. :D So, has anyone experienced too much high-end "sizzle" in the burn channel? (gain is in the 10:00 neighborhood)...
