Nice amp I'd like to test them DC-10s some time, but for now I am happy with my DC-3 combo:

that DC-10 is awesome! i'm looking to get one pretty soon. they're getting harder and harder to find. lemme know if you need to find a loving home for it indeed :wink: lol.

I have a DC-5 combo. I will be building a head cab for it in the near future.

Just curious how many people here have a dc model boogie

Here's mine:

Put a DC-5 on that cab instead of a 10 and thats my setup. Speakers will be changed out shortly to a combo of Vin 30's and 30H's, which i'm real excited about. I think i might try and marry my DC-5. It's that good to me.

I have a DC-3 also. It's a great little amp, but mine seems to run really hot.

I laugh every time I hear somebody talk about how great their Peavey Classic 30 is!

I like the speakers in the marshall, but wanna get some v30 action in there too.

Ill probably buy a 2x12 with v30s, maybe a used boogie or an avatar, then i can use the 2x12 for smaller jam sessions and both for gigs

I've a DC 10 Head & Combo. I love them and are Highly Prized by me!

I bought a 97' DC-5 combo about a month ago. It's in "as new" condition. It's taking a bit of time to get used to but I'm lovin' it!

DC-10 Head with Boogie 4X12 here. Wouldn't give it up for the world. In my opinion it is one of the best amps Boogie ever made. I still can't understand for the life of me why they stopped making it.

^ I KNOW!!! i got it VERY cheap, and now looking back i think it's worth a tad more... I was messing around with the eq and i love the versatility it has, im finally starting to be happy with my tone!

Hm, could you people please tell what kind of sounds you're getting out of your DC's, and maybe some nice settings?

Myself, I play mostly metal, but also different other things. I have to admit the DC-3 isn't completely spot on for my tastes, but I manage to get it into metal territory with a TS-9 (808 modded) on bedroom levels. I set gain about 7, bass 7-8, treble 8-9, mid 5-6 and presence almost maxed (lead channel). A shallow V shape on the EQ. I don't play for others, so I haven't had to crank it. Not sure if it will sound very good with these settings on higher levels, when I turn it up it turns into something completely different. I guess that will require some new tweaking.

Great amp, love the tone, I got a DC5 combo in tan with the EV speaker... havy little combo... I got it very cheap (I think) a couple of years ago, I always wanted to have a DC-10 but way to expensive at that time and after years finding the one that I have cheaper and in great condition...

 

[Monsta-Tone]

The DC's are great amps.

I've had 2 DC-2's, and a DC-3.

Now I have a DC-5 and am looking to get another DC-2 or 3, & a DC-10.

I don't need another one, but I want one.

Did you guys see this thing. Man, I'd love to have a nice hardwood box w/ wicker for my DC-5

Very nice...too bad it's not a DC-10! I'd love to have something like that for mine, but I'm sure as much as I use mine, I'd hate myself for the first scratch that got on it.

Hello larseko, that is a nice argument to discuss.
I am trying since foverer, to get our from my DC-5 amp a jazzy-distortion, something like Larry Carlton.

At this moment i am using the lead channel with:
Gain 3
Treble 6
Mid max
Bass max
Presence 5
and the 5-band EQ with 240Hz a little bit up, and 80Hz more up.

The problem in my opinion is that the sound (for my jazz distortion) is too dry of bass-middle frequences, don't you think that ?

Best,
Nicola :roll:

Does anyone know what years the DC series were made?
