Help Support The Boogie Board:
Thus sayeth the Holy Manual:
"The Boogie is intended to offer its full range of great sounds at any volume from soft to extremely loud. And in order to do this, the
controls must be very powerful. When turning up the Masters and playing louder and louder, you should expect to reduce the settings
of Lead Drive, push in the Lead Bright and possibly reduce Volume 1 or the Presence. Otherwise you push the 12AX7 preamp tubes
beyond their feasible range and feedback and ringing may begin to occur. This is normal and there is usually nothing wrong. It is like
having a Ferrari that handles corners great and will also go 160 on the straight...it still can't be expected to go 150 around a tight
hair-pin turn!
Learn to balance your sensitivity controls (Volume 1, Lead Drive, Lead Bright and Presence) with your power controls
(Master, Lead Master). Having them all too high at once increases the noise and problems without improving the sound.
Like the tires
on the Ferrari, you will have to maintain your 12AX7 preamp tubes much more carefully if you insist on 'flying around those hairpin
turns' with everything wide open!"

A Stupid Thing I Once Did With My Mark III:
With NO guitar plugged in, I PULLED OUT and DIMED all the controls.
Flipped it off Standby, and...
EVERY tube was immediately and completely microphonic and I was assaulted by the PIg Squeal Of The Gods.
Don't try this at home. :lol:

Your master was on 8?

I dunno if you would consider this "pushing it"...but lets just say I change my preamp tubes about every 6 months to keep them in fresh rotation, and my tone is crushingly brutal.

I'm not a mark owner unfortunately, so I can't really chime in on the topic at hand. but i was curious if anyone could record a clip with the "Ultra Brutality" settings? I'm interested to see just how brutal that particular setting sounds....

Btw, those are my "super secret" settings, so nobody steal them on this totally public forum :wink:
Side note: mines on non-GEQ, so I have to use a MXR-6 band for my EQ so truly my tones do sound slightly different...and I do always have plenty of spares (I like having lots of tonal options available for studio and live...i'm a picky tone freak)...and using the gain at 10 running my amp about 15-20 hours a week you'd be surprised how fast a Mark III can EAT through preamp tubes. My Mesa is a workhorse.
...and Sp3ktral, mines in the shop getting a new screen grid resistor but i'll post some clips soon...it is truly ultra-brutal...especially on my 60watt since it pushes the power amp a little harder...

cool thanks. I really have considered getting a mark III soon. I'm deadlocked between a Single Recto (used to have one and loved it) or getting a Mark III which i've never had nor never played.

Welcome to my world fish 8)
Side note: I use only R1 and Lead on these settings, and R1 is REALLY loud, so you have to roll back the volume ALOT to use it, but the clean sound is so beautiful and jazzy! Secondly, with the gain so high, you can use the guitars volume knob do dial in literally any gain sound you want; crunch; IIC+, smooth lead, or EARTH CRUSHING DISTORTION!!! Its a super versatile lead setting.
I love my setting and my Mark III - it took me about a month to fine tune those settings, but I find them quite literally perfect (at least for me...of course I did blow mine up too...)

If the Treble is turned way down (2-4), running the Master on 8 would not necessarily be painfully loud. If you turn the Treble to Zero, there's no output at all, no matter what the Master is set at. This setting is close to the "Customized Marshall" setting in the manual:
Volume = 7 to 10 (Pulled)
Treble = 4 (Pulled)
Bass = 0 (Pulled)
Mid = 0 to 3 (Pulled for R2)
Running the boost pedal probably results in a sound similar to R2.
