What is it in my Mark III Blue stripe?

[ivovasconcelos]

Hi fellows,

I have a Mark III Combo, and recently I've noticed something strange below the speaker.
I know that the picture is terrible.
But do you know what is that?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers,
Ivo

That is your reverb tank.

I also see a G12T75 speaker in there. If the amp doesn't sound its very best, that speaker could be at fault. An EVM-12L is the best possible speaker for a Blue Stripe. Second would be a Mesa branded Vintage 30.

Hi @woodbutcher65,

Thanks for your advice.

Do you mean these two speakers?

Yes. Just be aware that the V30 is a 60 watt rated speaker so you wouldn't want to crank the amp all the way or it would eventually damage the speaker. The Blue Stripe is an 85 watt amp. But who really cranks them? They're SO loud as it is. In my 30+ years of being a Boogie owner, only ONCE did I ever push a Mark series amp to full output for more than a few seconds. And the EVM-12Ls in the cabinets handled it just fine.

I just wish Celestion would pay more attention to the alignment of those stickers at the back. The one of the Celestion I put in mine recently isn't positioned straight either, it looks sloppy Sounds great though, in my Studio.
