My Blue Stripe DRG Mark III gets "close enough" for me for the IIC+ tone, and its aggression and harmonic richness outclasses even my Mark V in the Extreme mode. The Blue Stripe is simply the most brutal and FUN amp to play I've ever plugged a guitar into, without exception.
Going back a few pages regarding components....if they measure the same values, they'll sound the same. Pick two capacitors with exact measured values of .0022 uF with a calibrated precision meter, which have the same ESR readings as well, and they're going to sound exactly the same in the same circuit. It can be proven by running a Bode plot with each component installed in turn in the circuit. It WILL NOT show any difference in frequency response. With equipment that can measure it to a level of sensitivity and precision your ears can't match.
If the values are slightly different, the frequency response will change slightly. That matters FAR more than variances in component fabrication parameters as long as the values remain the same. Is that coupling cap a Panasonic or a CDE Orange Drop? If its values are the same (Capacitance and ESR both) then they'll sound the same. Even an old Philips Mustard cap, with the same values, is going to sound the same. This isn't magic, it's not smoke and mirrors, it's applied science.
