Hello just registered, first time visiting the site.
I have gotten my hands on a Mesa Boogie Mark III (Purple Stripe) recently. I don't know much about this amp but do know it has some amazing tone.
It needs some work though. After talking with Rich at Mesa Service I believe I have what Mesa has labled "The Reverb Glitch"... when using only clean channel as the sustained chord begins to decay I'm picking up some distortion in the background. Rich told me its an easy fix all I need to do is find a decent tech who can put the resistor in for me.
That brings me to a question for you guys... I am planning on retubing this Mark III and am definitely looking for some suggestions. I'm mostly a blues player but I occasionally enjoy getting those screaming pinch harmonics when tastefully placed.
Here are a few photos of the amp...
I look forward to hearing what seasoned Mesa owners have to say.
