I was referring back to the Mk IV manual and found this bit interesting. Never really paid much attention to it until now, with all the discussions going around about the class A operation and EL34 usage. Since I can't cut and paste the document, refer to pages 11-13 of the attachment.

Interest POV, whereas the manufacturers have stated for years a limited warranty or no warranty depending on covering tubes, but OG owners have populated the class A side with EL34's for as long as I can remember and not heard of issues. Maybe it's because of the robust EL34's we use in that...

"Hi Eric, a quick update. I just got clued into a thread with John Marshall and some other higher-ups here at Mesa. Unfortunately it does seem as though the official policy will be that using EL34s voids the warranty in full. Apologies for the confusion and conflicting info in previous...

The OG manual never mentioned EL34's either, yet we still used them in the outside sockets. LOL Attached is the OG manual for reference. (There never was a "II C+" manual if I'm not mistaken. I have the original.)

Please don't get me wrong... the people are the same, it's what they are being asked/forced to do. Their products are still first rate (I own a VII as well) and no complaint there, but read carefully what I wrote.

I was talking with Randy's good friend a couple of days ago and the subject came up in our conversation. Without going into it, let's just say that Randy did not leave under his own volition. Furthermore, the Mesa organization has undergone such a transformation since the Gibson transition that...

Doug, I omitted the fact that after owning and playing the simul-class, I found it to be very organic feeling. The stark difference is the 60/100 had a tighter feel and IMO better suited for chugging as opposed to melodic playing. After owning simul-classes (initially out of ignorance) did I...

My OG IIC+ DRG. I still have it. SN: 13xxx (1984) Have the matching Thiele and road cases.. Imbuya hardwood fully loaded w/original EV's. The reason I opted for this was availability. Tube compliment are Phillips 6L6GC Blue Labels Original Tesla EL34's. I still have the Mesa 415's that it came...

Let me add to the fodder here.... I was discussing the eminent release of the IIC+ reissue with a friend and he (let's just say he's in the business) is of the opinion that is will not be what a "reissue" is purported to be. During our discussion, he brought out an important point. What variants...

So, if we refer back to the first mention of mixing the EL34/6L6 tube compliment, I defer to the Mesa Boogie Mk III manual paragraph Tube Switch... "This is the "Class A/Simul-Class" switch or the "60/100" watt switch, depending on amplifier type. In the Simul-Class amplifiers the power (before...

Well I don't know about this whole hyper-hype but I do know I ordered a Soldano X88-IR. I think I got my priorities mixed up. LOL

Looks like Mesa Boogie IIC+ just dropped on their site.... https://www.mesaboogie.com/en-US/p/Amp/Mark-IIC-plus-Head/2-MCP-AB?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3EDseZJko5KtXDjCLXcHlRwlY5QEsJudwWdMLZqHCHGpkrHirHCqj3FOI_aem_xn9XiQextzwmL1k27n0Ayg No EL34/6L6 offerings, a few other things that make me...

They will most likely not allow running EL34's and 6L6's together. Think they will be akin the VII's and JPMC's.

Well, damn... the indicator lamp is the wrong color! Where is the SUS-4? EVM-12L option?? Even the fan location is wrong! If they're missing the obvious, what do you think they're going to further miss???

I have a pair of Hardwood Thieles with the original EVM-12L's installed and they are some of my most favored cabs! Pair them with either a IIC+ or III combo with EV's in them and holy mother of God!

I stuck a 16 ohm Redback in my 112 Friedman and it really tighten up the cab's overall low end and mids. Didn't much care for the cream back that came installed. I've decided to install an 8 ohm Redback in the mini-recto and the EVM-12L classic in the 1/2 back. If anyone is in the market for a...

Bandit2013, I was just going to hit you up about this very topic. I just ordered a couple of cabs and in the 1/2 back 19" I am putting in a EVM-12L and contemplating a Redback for the mini-recto slant. The EV's love open back cabs. I freaked out the factory when ordering the mini-recto with the...

Too much emphasis is placed on variants of a series. I have found that even among a variant, amp to amp may sound different due to what tubes are installed, speaker used, combo vs, separate speaker cabs, and the myriad of other combinations that affect what the amp will sound like. I think there...

Yeah, l've been a member of that group for a while. I sometimes wonder how many are original Mk IIC+'s. Many people are reluctant to share serial numbers for whatever reason.
