STRANGE, mark III vieuws on you tube,... this one tops 50.976...mark I, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, should sound better?,......No they don t, it is the guitar player, that makes the diference, not he amplifier, fools, get yourselv a life. mark III rules lol
@mpos74 Your vid has more vieuwers than the mark I, 2 etc., I presume it is because the people watching are curious about the mark III, If it is the best amplifier ever built, I let you decide,......hope you understand my comment.
@petejt These old boogie amps sound exactly like the clean fender amps. Their built in gain sounds a bit better, and their tube break up sounds a lot better. You can put it all the way up (not advised) and it will stay clean, but with some gain you can get a nice break up.
Not trying to be a jerk here..... thanks for doing this demo because they're an important resource here on You Tube. My only criticism, though, is that, for the most part, you keep changing settings and somehow end up with the same exact tone you just had before you made the adjustment! It'd be nice to hear ALL of the different sounds that can come from this amp! But, thanks for putting this up!
I got a 87 mesa boogie mark 3 blue stripe in cream color and eq. Its 60watt simull class. Im the original owner, and still has the original tubes, footswitches and cover. This amp is loaded with tone, and very heavy with the EV 12" speaker.
$800-$1000 for loaded models, $500-$700 for stripped down models. I got my 100 watt Red Stripe head with EQ and Reverb for $575, but that was a killer deal.
I got my mark III blue stripe long head for 700 CAD with a custom handmade head cover, tubes, footswitch. My head has the reverb and GEQ and simul-class switch.
Just look on the back of your amp, these stripes are located over the power cord, it looks like a swipe with a Jiffy Marker. The corresponding colors in chronological is:
- None or Black Stripe
- Purple Stripe
- Red Stripe
- Blue Stripe
- Green Stripe
These five stripe colors srepresent different stages of evolution that went on over the years, until the final product was reached.
I also have a red stripe Mark III which I use in a configuration of two amps, A - B or both simultaniously. My main (A) amp is a modified 4-channel Marshall superlead from 1970. My secondary amp (B) is my old trusty Mesa/Boogie 60w mark III red stripe which I use for clean sounds with the reverb and for lead sounds. I run this head through a Marshall 1912 1x12 150w speaker. I often use both amps for a fuller sound. I think it's enough reverb in the Mesa to fill up for 2 amps.
ahh i have a blue stripe with the GEQ and reverb. I thought that when i got it i was like ah some nice reverb....i put it up to ten i was like....tha..thats it? lol nah but once you crank the mesa you'll hear it and start to back off it abit. you have to crank the amp to really hear it.
yeah man! the reverb cranked all the way up and and playing at bedroom volume level is like a fenders reverb at 3... one time i took mine to a recording studio and started cranking it up a bit and i could actually hear some decent reverb level. Thanks for letting me know this. I thought it was a technical issue lol
he did play the...clean channel on the amp. and their is no modeling in the power stage (vintage, modern, raw, pushed, or vintage) btw. just the 3 channels.
Not sure why people with such amazing and expensive amps don't put up MIC'd videos.. Strange.

I don't think I posted this correctly.
The White Room video is my Mark III in a club setting, with just a wah and a touch of echo.
This demo is excellent, and I am NOT trying to outdo it. I'm just showing a Mark III live.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is NOT much of a demo of the MkIII, one of the greatest tone machines ever devised.

How come this amp never gets talked about in the heavier rock area? Its either the IIC+ or IV.
jpetrucci05 2 years ago
Not really a demo if you have a pedal plugged in.
locoed11 2 years ago
The pedal does not affect the sound of the amp at all. It is bypassed all the time except the last few seconds.

How much are these amps worth today??

Thanks man! Mine is a red stripe. One more question, do you feel like there is not "enough" reverb on the amp? (compared to most of the amps)

I just got a purple stripe Colesium 300 series Mark III with matching cab. Damn, those EV Black Shadows are heavy (my cab comes with four of them).

Check behind the power cord. It'll have either no marking, a black, purple, red, blue or green stripe made by a magic marker.
