@BesaMoogie I see what you’re talking about. Your easiest solution would be to sell me the Rev C and let me worry about that cap 😉. All wishful thinking aside 🤣, I’d change the cap out and save the old ones. If resale value is the concern you can always store all the original replaced...

@BesaMoogie do you mean Sprague 220uf @ 350v? Check their dimensions, they’re longer than stock by ~ 1 inch, which made them too big for my Mark III’s. The stock 220uf @ 300v mains caps were made by Mallory. The only companies making caps with same ratings and very close dimensions are F&T or...

@BesaMoogie not sure if you saw my post on FB. I just went through the same thing and spoke to Mike B. about all the options. I went with the following because I wanted stock values. Buy (4) Sprague 30uf @ 500v caps & (2) F&T’s 220uf @ 300v caps. These are the same values and dimensions as...

Mesa Boogie 4x12 Straight Cab for $460 in Los Angeles Area. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/msg/7562715723.html

@GJgo how did the Rev C compare to the Badlander you had?

@PansyFlowerpot I was impartial to the EVM12Ls that were in my Mark III combos, which is why I converted them all to heads. Not sure what it is, but that vintage 4x12 Boogie cab with early 80's EVM12Ls and a closed back just slays. Especially at loud volumes. She sure ain't much to look at...

@Racerxrated you got good taste. @GJgo you're a better man than me to let that amp go. That Rev C sounded tits in the YouTube clips you uploaded, especially with the 5881's. I hope to stumble into one in the future, but am not about ready to sell a kidney to buy one. The last one I saw...

@GJgo did you sell off your Rev C?

There’s been no word of a new Dual or Triple Rectifier. If they release one, I’d imagine it’d come with MIDI & built in cab clone.

When I ordered my JJ KT77’s, the guys at EuroTubes recommended their KT88/KT66 custom quad, with GZ34’s and a 4A fuse to run them. They say a stock DR will handle it with no problems, but I can’t get onboard making a new quad work by upping the stock fuse value from 3A to 4A.

@napalmdeath what KT77's did you use? I ordered a quad of JJ's from EuroTubes for my Rev. F. last week. I found the JJ 6L6's I had in it were too scoopeed and loose on the bottom end. Hoping this makes the amp more responsive.

Closer to a Rev F. If you are set on a Dual Rectifier and price conscious, I'd go with the MW. They're more flexible and a better bang for the buck than the 2 channel options.

@Techdeth 👍👍 was keeping my neighbors up last night with my 3+ HRG Red Stripe. Had to test a very old 4x12 Boogie Metal Grill cabinet loaded with its original EVM12L’s that I bought. I’m surprised how reasonably priced those cabs are. They sound awesome and are built like a brick shitter.

@dr teeth we can thank the Mark III’s popularity to its greatness, to social media exposing how underrated they were and the inflated Mark IIC+ prices. The III’s are definitely great amps, which is why I bought 3 of them 🤣 (2 DRG No Stripes w/ 105pt’s & a 3+ HRG Red Stripe). As for the...

@dr teeth cool amp. It has been for sale out here before ~3 months ago asking ~$1.3k. This price is somewhat reasonable. However, Mark 2C's have been selling for sub $3k as of late (below). The used industry is about to see prices continue to decline. Take it for what it is worth, but next...

@PurityS.L.G (y)(y) please let us know how it turns out.

@MetalHeadMike I can only imagine how badass the shows with Cliff & Dave were.

@PurityS.L.G FWIW: I haven't tried the Fryette, but a well-known Bay Area pedal board builder/YouTuber told me it was his #1 IR Loader. He felt the reactive load was better at mimicking the real-world interaction of the amp being on full blast without damaging them. His other suggestion...

Guitar Center knocking it out of the park yet again!

@JimAnsell do you have the link to the $40 desoldering pump you bought from Amazon? That sounds incredibly reasonable and would make for a nice upgrade from a solder sucker.
