Sorry but I spaced and forgot which Boogies were Solid State Rectified and which were Tube Rectified? While you're at it which kind of Tube Rectifier for the brilliant among us. May we all be Rectified!

Ok in this You Tube clip of the Rolling Stones Live at the Ten Spot at 4:13 you get a nice shot of Ron Woods amps. There is a custom Fender a Vox and 2 boogies stacked on one of two Boogie 4x12 cabs. Anyone know which boogies these are? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU3k1WzZwMo&feature=related

I've been reading about vintage Fender amps and the genius of Leo Fender and now I'm curious how close in tone our Mark's get to Twins, Deluxes, Bassmans, etc.? Not counting speaker cinfigurations but basic circuitry and tone. Thanks

Weird problem with my Mark III (first ever by the way) I plug in the guitar and it sounds really thin and now matter how high I turn up the volume on the guitar it has little affect on the amps volume or gain. The cleans sound ok but no real noticeable increase in volume when I dial up the...

http://www.guitarnuts.com/technical/electrical/safety/index.php I ran across this golden tidbit while researching wiring options on my guitars. I just had to share.

Vintage Vox too xpensive. Which new Mesa covers this ground best? Looking for that Zeppelin studio sound from the 70's

Well I've been playing in this local Dad's band where we jam once a week. Last night I played the IIA with a Monty Allum modded Boss GE 7 GEQ newly installed in the loop. OMFG what a huge difference. Like I had a new amp. The Cleans where crisper with more bottom, the Lead channel was way more...

I've noticed my amps sound better after warming up a bit. I typically turn on the power, wait 30 seconds, flip the standby to on and play. After say 30 minutes I notice the amp really starts to sound better. It can't be my playing because that's consistently average. Is it possible that the...

So I've been gasing for a the new lonestar either the classic or special. Problem is with my Mark III simul do I really need this subtle variation in tone or do I cover this ground already? While the clean on the III is not as good as the classic it's still pretty **** good and the 6l6/el34...

What is actually happening when I take the direct out of my Mark III and go into my IIA Return? (I assume that is the correct way to slave Boogies) Am I using the front controls of my Mark III to drive the speakers of both amps or can I also use the preamp controls of the IIA to separately...

I know for sure Ron Wood played a Mark III Blue Stripe for years. So I went through all my mid 80's - 90's stones music to try and hear the III blue stripe in action. I think he could have started using it on Steel Wheels, and it got plenty of play on tour, but for sure I hear it on Voodoo...

Finally after months of trying I figured out the Lead channel on my Mark IIA. I had the Fender channel figured out early but the lead eluded me until last night. Wow. What a great amp this is. Mike B if you ever browse this board, you did a great job restoring this amp. It's hard to put into...

I'm about to pick up a new Gibson Les Paul Standard with the BurstBucker Pickups. Anyone here have that set up and have feedback on the marriage between these pick ups and the Mark amps? Thanks

Wishing all the members of this great board a very happy and healthy holiday season.

Well I finished restoring this Mark IIA. It came out better than I thought. The wood under the tolex cleaned up beautifully. A couple of coats of stain and poly and a nice refurb of the electronics by Mesa, new power tubes and we are ready to rock. The sound of this Mark IIA amp is incredible...

This is the Mark IIA I rescued. These images are prior to sending it into Mesa and the process of cleaning up the cabinet, speaker and hardware. She shows plenty of promise Pulling this Fender Speaker and replacing with an EV 200 Watt to tame the midrange. Replacing all the power tubes...

Just got off the phone with Mesa and my rescued Mark IIA has been refurbished and is on its way home. How great is this company! Once my amp arrived Mike B personally called me to walk through what he suggested be done to maximize the sound. It was a pretty extensive list but I got the sense...

I have gone back and forth on this for sometime, but I've finally decided to buy a beat up Mark II from a local starving musician with the goal of fixing her up and adding to my growing list of Mesa Amps. Funny how that happens. I'm paying more than I should, but he's starving and this amp could...

This is Jake Skylyr's walk through of his Mark III settings. Can anyone verify his assertion of both R2 and L pulled and affecting sound? Thanks, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICyYEvGLmg0
