Best Recorded rep. of Mark III

[Sp3ktral]

what's the best recorded tone of a Mark III that you think best represents the amp?

(bonus points for samples)

Even though Brad Gillis used 2 IIB with a stereo chorus pedal, i still think the Speak Of The Devil tone is a great example of Mark series tone.


And i have some MarkIII clips in my sig.

I'm not sure how well this represents the Mark III (having never played one), but I love the tone on this clip. I got it off of either Harmony-Central or Rig-Talk's amp forum (killer tune):

My favorite III tone is John Sykes on the "Whitesnake" album in 1987. That's a Coliseum head, the III preamp section driving six 6L6s instead of four.

A band called Into Another has an album called Ignaurus w/ possibly the best tone I've ever heard. From all accounts I've heard, it's a Mark III.

Heathen :twisted: I still listen to them sometimes.

Exodus used Mark III's on Pleasures of the Flesh and Danny Spitzs used Mark III on Among the Living.

Heathen - (They used Mesa/Boogie Mark III in 1991, Victims of Deception album) , the best tone IMO :

These Heathen clips sound great!!! :shock: :shock:
Never heard of that band till now... great riffs too!
That's the tone that I want... I guess I'm an early nineties child, that's the epitome of tone to me.. like a mix of metallica's black album and master of puppets.. awesome in so many ways

Sorry for posting again guys but... OMG... these Heathen clips sound SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good... amazing.. stunning.... orgasmic... I dunno... these has got to be the best tone that i have ever heard, ever!!!!!! I don't want to sound like a 15y/o kid (i'm not, i'm 24) but i haven't ever been so amazed with someone's tone...
thanks for this epiphany, guys


:shock: :shock: :shock:

This, to me, is the Mesa sound. The sound that put them on the global map.

Yes, all the other stuff they do/have done is interesting, but the high gain scooped EQ Mark IIC, III, and IV is the ideal metal tone in my opinion.

I feel like I'm listening to the lost tracks of And Justice For All!!!

GREAT TONE! sicks riffs too! definitely metallica influenced in some way.

+1 and they were lost before mixing so jaymz hasen't told Flemming to scoop the guitars so much and ditch the bass :lol: :lol:

This isn't of the same style as the other posts, but I think this represents the Mark III lead tone. This is an instrumental performed by a Japanese band called Siam Shade, and the lead guitarist uses a Mark III.
