I'm a former owner of a Mesa Boogie Strategy 400 stereo tube power amp & a Satellite 60 combo amp with the EV12L speaker, and currently own a Mesa Boogie 50/50 stereo power amp now. The Strategy 400 was badass when pumped it at high volume with a couple of 4x12 cabs in stereo, but was heavy to move around and needed the extra cabs to appreciate its sound. The 50/50 is more portable, not as loud as the Strategy 400, the half power switch is nice to run for lower volume in the studio or onstage. I can run a 2x12 cab/ 2 1x12 cabs or a 4x12 cab wired for wet/dry/wet.

Big Rectifier guy. Recently I got a Mark iii green as well.
Recto and Mark are the two main lines Boogie offers.
 
Moved all my boogies, but I've had :
Jp2c
MK III black dot
Mark V25
Mark V
Several different Recitifers
Quad pre
Studio Pre

Only one I miss is Mark III (2 of them).
 
a multi watt recto and badlander here, also got a handful of their pedals. really want a jp2c next but might buy another badlander first.
 
Previously owned:

Studio Pre
Quad Pre
Simul Stereo 295

Now I own:

Mark III Green Stripe head
Mark IV RevB Hardwooden combo

Super excited about what I own and use right now.
 
Currently got a ‘79 Mark IIA (HG), ‘87 Mark III (DG), and ‘85 Mark III++ Coliseum (KRG). Love all of them.

Green strip Mark III...ripper of an amp. Always brings a smile to my face when I plug it in, even if it's not all the time.

Same as mine grimmchaos, just out of curiosity...how do you usually set the presence knob? I set mine quite high with the 6600 slider not that high.
