The "best" are the Sylvania big bottles. Those are the ones the amp was fitted with by Mesa Boogie. A bit hard to find and very expensive if you do. I just call Mesa & tell 'em what amp I have & ask what they have available, order them & pop them in. They work & sound fine. I sincerely...

+1 I still have a set of those tubes from '87. Chinese manufacture was how they were described by Mesa support back then. Sylvania big bottle massacre. That is near reason to cry. :cry:

I had a similar problem with my Boog. Crackling , frying noises independent of signal. Ended up pulling preamp tubes till the sound went away & then focused on that part of the circuit. In my case it was a bad plate resistor, it barely looked discolored, but with the tube pulled it read 3-4...

Fwiw , mine was born in april '87 and is marked with a red stripe .

Ok, Here is a flow chart style thing . Perhaps my last post was a tad abstract . A: check speaker wire (s) Turn on amp . B: Twist knobs CLOCKWISE . C : Standby is off , right ? D Amp is making a subdued humming sound ? Thumbs up . E :Unplug guitar , tap tip of cord .Popping noise ? Good ...

It is obvious what your problem is . You do not have Geese in your blunderware . Or any waterfowl at all . I strongly suggest you find the nearest birdmonger and belly up . Or have a qualified tech ... make you , Assume the cookie position , as it were . :lol: This has been a public...

Do you like your tone ? Are your pickup's mikey? or you might be over doing it . Me thinks too many effect's ? Easy to do . or just put it down to musical texture .

I 'll give it to my son (11) before I'd sell ever my mk3 red . The first boogie amp I played thru was a 2C+ .... called Petaluma the next day . They laughed and said "we dunna make that amp anymore laddie !" Can we interest you in this incarnation of the III ? Now I have Boogie "combo arm "...

Welcome to the forum , Dave . You are in the wrong place if you think there is a quick and dirty fix to your non -dilemma . Hah . Many of the mark amps have a , certain differentnesshoodism . Even in the same series . Oh, it is worth the terrible , hideous , beating your guitar/ear's...

It's all in the hips . :D

I see this a lot . If you play an electric guitar there is noise INHERENT in the system I am so amazed that You youngsters don"t realize what a great creative element this add's. And while your up there, clean your room . C'mon dal' Tell us how you really feel .

Sorry, my last post may be construed as mean spirited . If that was the feeling , I apologise . or something yeah . Plug the sucker in . You should be good to go . 8)

Golly, what a conundrum , The 80's were a million years ago . I strongly suggest You eat 8 slices of Bacon and at LEAST 5 eggs . Take your Girl and dance naked on the lawn . At the very least the roof . Welcome home , Fries with that? We wish we all had your kind of problems ...

Its a stock/OEM thing. Keep's em from vibrating in an audible manner . 8)

You hit the nail on the head , there , Citizen , yet I beg to differ about the price statement . Throw in some EMG's , and your naked on stage . :lol: Wiorys , I would play a dual caliber and a mark , side by side before buying . Might suit you better, the DC .
