I have read through hundreds of posts and still have doubts as to what version of the Mark III that I own. Please forgive me because I know this topic has been discussed I am sure to great lengths. This is what I have and the info that I have found.
Mesa Boogie Mark III short chasis head
Looks very much like a green stripe on the upper left pn the back of the amp.
Has a letter "R" handwritten on the chasis below the green stripe.
5 band graphic eq.
presence and reverb controls on the back.
"Class A" and "Simulclass" toggle switch on back.
Underneath it says 5/94 with somebody's signature.
Serial Number 28XXX
I downloaded the manual and from what I have read in it as well as this forum I believe I have a 1994 Mark 3 Simulclass, that I believe I should be able to switch the two outer tubes to EL-34's. RIght now it has four 6L6's in it. That's the way I got it.
So my questions are.........
Am I on the right track?
Can I indeed switch the tubes?
What is the wattage difference between Class A and Simulclass? I have read everything from 15-25-60-85 watts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was going to email Mesa but all I found was a phone number.
Thanks in advance,
Kev
