Re: Mesa Boogie Mark amps

[MyWarNerve@aol.com]

I am a proud Boogie owner, since Kim thinks he's god, I'll try to help. 
The 
Mark series of Boogie amps are considered by most tube purists to be the 
pinnacle of perfection for straight tube valve power. The thing is, it 
depends on what kind of tone you are after, Mark I's are remeniscent of 
"plexi" Marshalls, while the Mark II and III's have distinct Fender'ish 
clean 
tones with a more modern "california" dirt tones. These amps,(combos or 
heads) are pretty versatile and just plain loud. You wont get the 
oversaturated sound of the Rectifiers, but they do offer some very warm 
tube 
overdrive with a minimum amount of work and hum. I own a DC-5 (caliber 
series) which I use as a master, slaving a Simulclass2:90 from it, it 
works 
pretty well, being in the middle of the MarkIV and the Rectifier, big 
gain, 
very warm, and very versatile.
I don't know if this will help you or not, and I'm sure that this will 
start 
some kind of ridiculouse thread from the list, but gear is gear, and 
anything 
I can help with is better than nothing at all.
