Not yet, but I think I'd better before Gibson gets a hold of it. I'm looking at the 2x8, too.

How does it sound on the clean channel, especially loud? I presume it’s not an EQ problem. My first instinct would be to check the reverb pan.

I think, if you blew the fuse, the power tubes wouldn’t light up. I remember that happening on my Mark III at a gig. I thought it was the power strip.... It sounds like your problem is in the power section. It may be the pair of EL-84s are receiving bad power, since they both have sparks and...

Still on the “thinking about it” fence. I have some outdoor, social distancing gigs in the next few months, and m trying to convince myself that the Rosette is easier than running direct.

Are fetrons still in production somewhere?

I need to be honest - my MlIC+ Simul-class is too much weight and power for my needs anymore. I’m not getting any younger, I’m never going to play Madison Square Gardens or big arenas. It’s just too much amp. The V:35 is more usable to me, but I know I could never replace the IIC+, so this would...

I have a friend who factory ordered a 1x15 Mark I back in the 70’s. He said one of the preamp tube sockets had some sort of solid state device called a “Fetron” and that’s what gave the early Mark I’s their sound. The amp came from the factory with the Fetron. Anybody heard of this thing? I...

I am REALLY glad the MkII has wheels...

I can’t run my Mark IIC+ without an attenuator in any kind of home or performance situation. Master on 1.5 is too loud for most bars, etc. I use a Scholz Power Soak. I’d consider a THD 8-ohm model if I needed the line out. This is the main reason I’m considering a Mark V:35. The Mark II is just...

I’ll add my preference for a Rat when it comes to straight OD/Distortion pedal. I had found a mod for my Rat where one of the resistors was cut out, which gave it a little more gradual climb to complete saturation. I now use a Nocturne Ubangi Stomp, which is a Rat circuit with internal switches...

That’s perfect, doublescale. Thanks! Col. Cropper forever...

I like the Celestion G12 in my MkIIC+ but I’m trying to put together a lighter weight rig Has anybody tried the Celestion Neo Creamback in a Five:35? Any thoughts or sound samples? Looking for a thick, warm sound on both clean and lead modes

I don't know the answer, but I’ll follow this to find out. We might have to call Boogie support
