I bought a pair of 6L6 and EL34 =C= to put in my Mark III in late december right before the price hike. It was in the shop for a while but I got to try them out last week. They were amazing... for about 30 seconds. Then all I saw was a flashing white light at the back of the amp. I immediately...

My red stripe Mark III has this intermittent noise problem that has me a little worried. Observations: - Intermittent white noise (constant and too loud to be considered background). - The more gain the louder the noise, faint but present on the clean channel as well. - Seems to go away...

Just to add, if anyone needs a vital organ and happens to have a C+ coli... :lol:

From reading around I've understood that they are very similar tubes with the STR387 apparently having a bit more headroom. Will the 387's give me the same aggressive bite as the 415's however? I ask because I can get my hands on either RCA 6L6GC's or Sylvania Yellow labels for a lot cheaper...

I have a chance to buy an old Mark series 4x12 with 4 EVM12Ls in it. I'm probably going to suck it up and go drive down there and try it out but I was just wondering if driving 800 watts of speakers could potentially cause a problem. Would I need to be cranking my Mark III all the time for it to...

I have 2 Mark III's that I use for band practice and live application. I need something a bit better for bedroom/living room jam use and was wondering if a .50 Caliber or Studio .22 would sound good at lower volumes or are they just as loud as my Mark heads? EDIT: I should add that while I play...

I just bought another Mark III from a forum member. the serial is in the 15,9XX range yet from the pics it's a red stripe. Could it be that it was upgraded to a red stripe at Mesa? I have my doubts that red stripes were found in serial numbers this low. Regardless, the amp is super clean and I...

I got my Mark III (green stripe-simul) checked up a month or so ago by my tech here in the city (certified Mesa tech, cool guy and knows his stuff). Long story short, I've got 4 brand new 6l6's inside and seem to prefer my older set (same tubes too, STR440 6l6's). I'm pretty sure it's the...

I'm looking to buy a Mark IIC+. I'll consider anything but some preferences include: Short Head/Combo 60/100 or Simul EQ a necessity! Located in Montreal and willing to pay full shipping charges.

I have a simul class Mark III which I love to death. I changed amps for years and it all halted when I got it about 2 years ago. But alas, curiosity is getting the better of me these days and I'm curious as to whether it is worth going after a IIC+ considering the upcharge in price involved? I'd...

Wishing to trade rackmount kit + a bit of cash on my end for a headshell for my Mark III. All is in good condition. Located in Montreal :)

I have a clean setting on the amp which I really love, and a gain setting which is like freaking AMAZING. The problem is they are completely different settings. Now I'm trying to keep this rack unit around 8 spaces. the mark takes up 4 right away, and I was thinking of putting a small 2 space...

I was jamming on my new Mk III earlier and then the signal started cutting out and/or becoming scratchy. I go in the Back and check for a bad tube, they all look fine, except one of the 6L6's in the outer position was a lot hotter in temperature then the other ones (the Mesa Engineering logo on...

Do I absolutely need the footswitch to operate the the lead channel of my Mark III? I got mine a while ago and just today got my cab so I've been trying to find a way to go to channel three I seem pretty convinced I need the footswitch...

I'm looking for a Mark III head either blue or red stripe and if they are rackmount then even better! Reverb not a must but I do want Simul Class and EQ. V2 mod is a plus! thanks

I recently sold my Mark IV combo and I have a certain sound in my head and a way I want to acomplish it. Tell me if this makes sense! I'm looking for a sound reminiscent of ...And Justice For All era 'tallica but with a more modern Nevermoresque edge. There's a blue stripe Mk III rackmount on...

I'm looking for a Mesa poweramp. Either a 2:90 or a 2:100. My budget is around 700$. Thanks

Right now I have a Mark IV widebody combo with a 1x12 open back cab. I love my mark, but my ideal setup is with a head. Now I was wondering whether it would be better for me to sell the combo enclosure and buy a head one or just sell the whole amp all together and buy a new one. I was...

Hi all, A few weeks ago I played a Roadster head at the local music store and I loved the sounds I was getting out of it! Although I do eventually intend on getting one I have a few questions: - Is there a big difference between the Roadster and the Triple Rectifier that would justify the...
