And this is at a time when you can buy a used Mark III Purple Stripe on Reverb for around 2-2500 euros and it will sound about the same or maybe even better.

I just don't understand how an amplifier that costs up to 5k euros in Europe has a transformer that looks like it was taken out of a high humidity storage facility in which he lay for 30 years. For that price it should be polished like a baby's ass and covered in gold.

I work in the sheet steel industry. We ship new steel out everyday that's already starting to corrode. Unless it's pickled or galved, which is totally unnecessary for a transformer, it's going to start rusting immediately.

That's impossible. Metallica didn't use a III on Master of Puppets or AJFA so it can't possibly be better!

Got it, didn't know this information.
 
@fedrek - I get where you are coming from and all but you did hear about the Gibson thing right :lol:

I think it is ridiculous to charge that much for an amplifier, just like a new LP.

Better than the reissue and I know Mark III can sound just as good as IIC+, as well as Mark IV.

That's like. Subjective.

Yes, you probably saw me under the official presentation video, not very hard to spot me, I'm everywhere when it comes to Boogies. I'm a big fan.
 
Metallica has to be the main reason most players here are aware of the C+

by the time they became known boogie guys, i had already been exposed to the IIB for 4 years and had formulated my own idea of boogie tone.
i made a recording in 82 of my buddy Zach playing that IIB combo with altec speaker and fetron preamp tube that i wish i still had because the tone was amazing.

it’s interesting how time alters perceptions of what your mind recalls regarding a tone being “brutal” and then hearing the actual recording



my preference for recorded C+ tones was Luke/Toto and Dream Theater
