I really need to just bow out of these threads sometimes There's so many darn amps I have zero need for that I am immediately just able to wind myself up to 100% intensity in thinking I am going to pull that trigger on

The IIC+ was monumental and the first of two pivot points for Mesa Boogie. They took over the late 90s rock and metal sounds with this amp and it’s later variants.

My impression has always been that the III was all the tone, half the hype of the IIC. It has an extra gain stage in the lead channel when you pull the Rhy2 knob, and has the Rhy 2 channel, but it uses a smaller transformer than the IIC.

Can we just talk about the mix in this video? That opening track sounds awesome.

I've had the Studio, the JPIIC and the VII. In the past few weeks; I've GAS'd for the IV, V, the IIC reissue and because of this thread; the III. Again. Jesus christ

I won't be buying one, but I'm not under the illusion that when they arrive at the shop, the Mark IIC+ won't punch me in the dick.

A great way to get touring acts to play your amps on tour is to make them rackmountable. Mesa leads the way with this design with so many of their heads being easily converted from headshells to rack kits.
