I'll try to get into my amp and take a pic tomorrow. I have to admit, ever since I got my III+ there has been this little voice in the back of my mind saying "you really should just get a IIC+ and stop messing around". :idea:

BB I'm assuming you're referring to C30? If so then no. I split the difference and went with a 500pf. For whatever reason, and this may be a misconception, I find the 1000pf cap adds compression to the lead gain. I do use a TS-9 to add sustain to the lead channel. The gain on the TS is set to...

I guess I should elaborate on the tone references. I like certain aspects of these players tones. I'm not necessarily trying to copy their style or sound. Just parts of it. I love Santana's sustain and mid range. Larry Carlton's smooth sound is unprecedented in my book. As for the Jerry Garcia...

Thanks again for the response guys. I really appreciate it. Tones I'm hunting are early Santana meets Larry Carlton meets mid 70's Garcia with a hint of Trey Anastasio. I know. It's weird. Chip believe it or not there isn't as much bass on the lead channel as it seems. I've always read where...

Thanks for the response guys. My current settings are Volume 1 - 7 (pulled) Treble - 5 (pulled) Bass - 4 (pulled) Middle - 6 1/2 Master - 3 Lead Gain - 2 (with a 12au7 I set it at 6) Lead Master - 3 Presence - 2-3 I have tried a lower gain in V1 also but I like a 12AX7 here better. I've also...

Hey guys. I've got a question here about a Mk III Blue Stripe that has been modded to a III+. I'm not a metal player so I've been wondering what mods I can do to reduce the amount of gain in my lead channel. I know there's the obvious "turn the gain knob down" answer but I find the tone...

Must.....not.......give in......to gassssss......

Well my amp hit the road today. Once I find out what went wrong ill definitely let everyone know. I can't wait to get it back after Mike has worked his magic!

I have no doubt that they'll be able to fix it. I was explaining the problem and niether Mike or Rich could give an explanation. I had a PI tube crack on me and didn't know until the amp died. I turned it on and heard a loud hum and the the power tube in socket 3 red plated. I tried replacing...

Just got my RA# from Boogie. Seems my problem even has them perplexed. So off she goes. :(

So I played a gig last weekend with it and it sounded AWESOME. Finally got all my gear set up at practice and turned it on. I played for about 10 minutes and I started hearing a loud hum. I shut it off and checked the tubes and discovered my PI shattered. Never had that happen before. I replaced...

Thank you sir. It's good to be back! I've got a gig tonight and I'm breaking the Boogie out in full force tonight. :twisted:

They're definitely compatible. Fuchs offers this combo in their 2x12 cabs. I have a 4x12 with two EV's and two ToneTubby alnico's. I know the TT aren't quite the same but they're in the ball park. FWI it's a killer combo. Both have strong mids but aren't the same frequencies. The Golds have more...

Haven't been posting here in quite a while but I've been checking in often. I've been going back and forth with my rig for some time now and guess which one keeps making its way back? The Mark III+. It just has this certain something that I love. I know I don't have to sell you guys on this...

Nice work man 8) Do you do work with wood by trade or is this just a side job/hobby? Again killer looking cabs :!:

I love it when Christmas comes twice a year!!! Congrats on the new amp and geetar!

Fwiw guys I have a III+ that used to be a purple stripe and I have a regular III green stripe. You couldn't give me enough money to part with my III+. I now use the green stripe as a back up and practice amp. Obviously there are differences between the stripes themselves and I have never...

I run 4 6L6s in both my IIIs. Love the difference and haven't had any problems. They're the Mesa 440's btw.

Which TADs are you using? I've been considering these tubes for my iii+. I had a Fuchs TDS that had these and a friend put them in his Fender HRD. I love the mids in these tubes.

I've been experiencing the exact opposite with my Boogie. The cleans have been too bright and the lead too dark. By the time i dial a good clean sound that isn't in the 4k range the lead is too dark. My green stripe seems to be able to compensate this a little better with the GEQ but with my...
