Hello mesa owners~
I've been performing in bars since I was 16 and am 43 now. I am a new Mesa owner. ..all these years playing Marshall, Musicman and a bunch of other amp makers. I used to use a white tolex Mark2 A/B'd with my Musicman in '86-87 but it was the keyboardists amp and I never aquired it.
I just obtained two combos. One is a Studio 50 Cal+ and the other a Mk3 Blue stripe w/ eq and rev. My question is about the MK3.
Its equipped with Mesa 420's-6L6's and 5 preamp tubes. 4 Mesa Chinese 12ax7's and one 12AX7 that is euro made in Holland.. likely a Amperex offshoot which I've placed next to the choke.
I presume that is the PI slot. The amp has a date from '94 written in fuchsia on the chassis.
My question is the markings other than the blue stripe..does anyone know what the markings are on the chassis. Scarlet letter red and some black marker.. Reverb mod?
