Hi all,
I've just bought a mark III blue stripe combo (Simul, EV, GEQ, Reverb). It's my first ever mark series, chosen partly based on info and opinions here, so thanks!
I've had it about a week, played one show with it at the weekend, and I've only just got the settings to where I'm happy with the tone and balance- it's certainly true that these take some tweaking. I'm running a tuner and noisegate in front and MXR 10-band in the loop; I found that the lead channel really benefits from the onboard GEQ but I'm using that for a mid/volume lead boost, and ignoring the R2 channel for now.
I've ordered a pair of Harma cryo 6L6GCs as the 6L6s are mismatched- 1 GT and 1 Phillips (!). Also ordered 2 x Harma cryo ECC83 (supposedly very similar to Mullards) and I've got some JJ ECC83S gold pins to play with so I'll let you know how I get on with them.
Thanks again!
Jona
