The IIC+reissue goes live Dec. 3rd. $3599

It will have the sound, but people will complain because it doesn't have modern features which is why Boogie kept on with latter Marks..

Most will be finger fucked to death but will never leave the bedroom and never play past .5 watts.. LOL

If it’s Metallica tones then yes you want ++ .
But you can eq it a lot to get there and a boost

I plan on boosting. I normally go for much lower tuned and more gain but having the Metallica tone is a perfect starting point

Wait… this might affect my choice to get the amp, if the sound I have in my head is the ++. I need to look into that.

Does anyone have anything I can reference?

C+ = Toto, Journey, Prince, all Mesa demos.
C++ = Metallica, Stryper..?

I know Dream Theater is C+, but have you seen that guy's pedalboard? It's as pure C+ as real tits in Orange County.

Loadbox or attenuator.

i always thought the perfect mesa for me would be my mark III with:

the independent cleans and modes from the IV

a classic rock sound like this on rhythm II


and a IIC+|+ toggle switch so i don't FOMO


so i suppose the next best thing fir me would be the VII.
