How long did they build the Heartbreaker?

... and was there only one variation or did it go through different stages like some of Mesa's other amps? I have one that I love, I have no idea what year it is, but it's a shame that they quit making them.

From the Mesa literature it was the 25th year anniversary tribute to the Mark I. Since the first Mark was in 1969 I would assume this was first delivered in either 1994 or 1995. There are two versions I know of. The first has a dark green metal chassis and the second has the black metal chassis. Version A had weak reverb which was addressed in the Version B. I believe mine was made in 2000 or 2001. Calling mesa would clear up the timeline. But there are real experts on this board that might help with more exact details.
