I don’t deserve to own a Mk2C+ :( . My MK2C+’s flight (road) case is a little unstable in so much as the large rubber wheels are not that far apart and if care is not taken the thing can tip quite easily. Not a problem usually as the amp sits low in the case, however last Sunday the amp was sitting on top of the case. I went to move it and the amp and case toppled over resulting in the amp crashing on to a carpet covered concrete floor face down. At the time the footpedal and a planetwaves cable were in the back. The damage was the loss of three Mullard ECC83s and a set of Mesa 5881s that were in the outer slots. The maple cabinet looks fine and there appears to be no damage to the EV speaker. But what a bloodly fool I am. I knew the case was unstable, yet I placed my pride and joy on it. Fortunately the amp missed my PRS !!!
Only a finite number of these amps were made so I say to all owners, please treat them with respect. (...and please don’t offer to come and rescue it from me :wink: )

50 lashes and 1 year of playing a Line 6 shall be your punishment.
 
i will say that in an apartment, jamming along to an ipod through headphones is WAY easier and sounds better on a line 6 15 watt combo
 
what if its a Vetta or the bogner inspired line 6... im sure you can get something useful outta those... of course nothing close to the mark. but still

i'd make him play through a roland jazz chorus for a year... no pedals or anything. just super clean tone!
 
i played one of those today and the chorus is unbelieveable. give me a nice strat and that wouldnt be a bad punishment at all!!! :lol:

somehow i manage to stick up for non-boogies. whats wrong with me?!
 
Thanks guys, I did put in new valves; no Mullards left unfortunately, and gave it a good blast. I guess time will tell if any long term damage has been done. As way of penance, I’ve temporarily confined myself to an 18W self-built Marshall clone that runs a pair of EL84s.
