As owner of both, I disagree so far. I found the MKIII to have a spongy low end not to suitable to heavy rock. It did the blues thing well and I used it for a lot of jazz/fusion things but I just didn't like the low end. I find the DC5 to be a lot tighter in the lows. It can still sound...

I was under the impression that a IIB can't be converted to a IIC. Can they? What are the benefits? what would the cost of the mod be?

I just had a pair of Geezer Sound 2 x 12 cabs delivered to try out for an upcoming show. One has 2 Celestian G65's the other has Vintage 30's. I'm running a Fuchs ODS and a Marshall 2550. The G65's are very warm. Nice Hi's but not shrill. the Vintage 30's sound great with the Marshall...if...

http://gomc.tv/index.html Send him pics/specs. Hank builds amazing quality at a fair price. He did all of our cases for us. Great job.

Congrats. I like my DC5 for the 15 years I used it on the road. Never a problem. Never really cared for pedals. I always leaned toward the amps OD. Sometimes a a slight modded TS 808. Good luck.

I think I'll leave it. I've had the amp since 1993 and honestly it's never posed a problem or been an issue. The two channel volumes are pretty even...the lead channel has to be a little louder...cleans for one cut more and two, lead channel is for...well...lead. So. If it aint' broke don't...

here's the link to the mod http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=229027 No opinions????

Just saw a post on the gear page about a mod for the DC5 Output Master Control. According to the post there is a resistor on the Output pot. Apparently removing this smooths out the taper giving it a more useful and uniform curve. Has anybody done it? Heard of it?

Exactly RR.

I love the MKIIB. I have a non verb/EQ Model but love it. The effects loop poses no problem at all. I was just wondering what the differences between the IIB and the IIC were...especially tonally. I'm on the verge of replacing/experimneting with tubes. I bought this amp in '81. Sold it in...

I have a '81 MKII B. Fantastic sounding amp. What is the difference between the MKIIB and the MKIIC? Is it THAT much better than a MKIIB and if so is it possible to mod the B to a C?

Been using a Fuchs ODS the last couple of years. every so often I'll bring out my MKIIB. Amazing amp that is very touch sensitive and dynamic. On Saturday I fired up my DC5 again after not playing it for a couple of years. Wow. Amazing amp that once it's dialed in is simply fantastic...

I have a non EQ/Verb MK IIB and like it much much better than my MK III w simul class/ EQ and my DC 5 which also has EQ.

try switching brands...even within brands tubes sound drastically different.

Is this just starting to happen. Could be a pre amp tube. Try swapping tubes. Different manufacturers sound different. I know the Tung Sol RI's in my Fuchs sounded really "farty". The Mullard or JJ gold pin really tightened the low end.

I have both a DC5 and a MKIIB. Although the MkII is what Carlton used in the late 70's early 80's the DC 5 can get very close. The lead channel on the DC 5 is a bit darker. I like the clean channel on the DC5 with the gain dimed and the boost pulled. It gets very responsive and...

I used a DC5 from 1992-3 until 2006. never failed on me...still sounds amazing. I'm actually selling it if you're interested. it's a DC5 1 x 12 combo. roadcase, new tubes. all options. sounds fanrastic

I just picked up my old MKIIB off of the guy i sold it to back in the 80's. Ihave a '81 MKIIB non graphic/non reverb 60 watt combo. When I bought it (again) it had Groove Tubes in it. I never cared for Groove Tubes so I swapped them out with a set of JJ's that I had laying around. DRASTIC...

I can't open the pics at work but I'd really like it in red tolex to match my Fuchs ODS head and my Fuchs 2x12.

I'd be interested in mounting my MKII in a short head...how can I reach you?
