First off I'd like to say hello to everyone and I look forward to all the info here on the forum. Thanks for having me. I'm more of a reader than a poster and I'm full believer in the search function for answers....
I just picked up a used DC-3 head here in Atlanta yesterday (Sat. 8th) I didn't really get filled in on the background of the amp. It seems to be in great shape. I don't really have any experience with Boogies except for a short courtship with a triple rec head a year or so ago.
I've been to the Mesa site looking for some info on the DC-3 but can't find anything except the manual. It's not even listed in the "no longer in production amps" (unless I missed it somehow).
What years were the amps produced? I'd really like to date the amp (serial# DC3-02709). Where there different versions? Mine, unlike the manual, has the toggle switch on the back for the EQ instead of the rotary knob. I read over a few of the Harmony Central Reviews (I take those with a grain of salt) and there was no category under a 9.
I'm just looking for a little history lesson on the DC-3's and a general overall view of how they stack up with the rest of the Boogie amps. If you guys could spread a little light on them for me I would greatly appreciate it. I play mostly Classic Rock (Stones, Free, Allman Bros.) and a little country now and then. I also bought an older Theile Cab several months back (112 closed back 200watt Ev) with the intentions of getting a small head later on to go with it. Funny how things happen sometimes. Now I have a great match for it!!
Thanks so much! (oh....I hope I've posted in the correct section of the board)
