I found the "one" for me, back in the late 1980's. A 1973 Goldtop deluxe, routed it for humbuckers.

I had a Red Stripe Coliseum one, and a good friend had the Red Stripe 15/75 Simul head. By far my favorite version of the Mark III, and I have owned or played every version.

EP booster on a low setting (for the swirl effect) and the RC Booster for the split humbuckers, otherwise the tone chase needs to begin with the guitar. Then go to the speakers and cabinet. On a stock 84/85 C+.

At their peak, at least for me.

I like the SD Custom Custom in my LP Goldtop.

What if I don't want my C+ to sound like Metallica?:unsure:

One 1984 and Two 1985 C+ DRG short heads in the house, each bought for at least $1000.00 less than the new Re-issue. All hooked to the MESA rack mount amp switcher. Footswitch one up to all at a time. All set differently to maximize their best sounds. 1: Full on hellion into halfback 4x12, 2...

Three DRG Mark 2C+ amps when they were cheap, YES. A 1973 Goldtop LP Deluxe, routed for humbuckers cheap in the late 1980's, YES. Three C+ amps into a MESA amp switcher, all set differently, YES. Six EVM-12L loaded MESA cabs, YES.

"We" don't bitch. "We" bought our three DRG's before the prices got out of control.

Laney AOR 100 and their 4x12 metal grille 4x12 cabinet. Late 1980's.

I tried to like my 2-ch Triple, back in the '90s, going as far as putting a rackmount compressor in the loop to tighten it up. Matching MESA 4x12 cabs(2), but when I got my "loop modded" 1978 Mark I back, including the Analogman modded Boss OD-1, it was over. Move forward a few years, and I was...

I owned and sold that amp, and installed the R2 VOL dymo label. Still looking for the Green Stripe long head with the Pentode/Triode switch on the far right far right.

Red in the outer Class-A slots.

I envision many of these re-issues being on the used market soon or being used as one-trick ponies. Way too many channel switching compromises for the new generation.

Imagine being about one foot away from a 4x12 cab and not knowing that the "limit" knob on the C+ Coli worked in the reverse than you thought. Volume about 3. The SPL nearly knocked me to the ground.

Carlos Santana and the Charlie Daniels Band started the Boogie craze, not Metallica. Get for real.

One of them ended up in a music store in Minneapolis. It had "Prince Rogers Nelson" written in sharpie written on the top of the chassis.
