Mesa Mark III + PRS (Chasing the IIC+ Tone)

This video is for the Boogie Boarders only. Just trying out some new settings based on the Mark IIC and Mark III operating manual suggested settings. I turned the mids down to zero and cranked the master until my ears bled, then increased it until I found "the sound" then hit record. This tone is somewhere between the "fusion" setting and the "metal" setting. The R2 tone sucks with these settings, but it's god awful loud, and doesn't sound as meaty. IIC+ owners will have to be the judge. I was djenting like mad. No solo stuff, more rhythm-y. The clean tone is very bright and plunky, even more excited than usual. Hardly jazzy as I normally have it, even with the dark voiced PRS.

Sorry for the crappy video angle. I was in a hurry to rock. \m/ \m/

@shaneclemens Thanks. This used to be a EVM loaded combo (custom order) and I converted it for my rig. I had the chance to buy a green stripe head, and still might buy one as a backup.

Hey, sounds killer man. Your mk3 has a nice growl quality to it. I don't remember my old green stripe combo sounding this good.
