I own a very early "wood & wicker" 1985 No-Stripe Mark III. It has the "105" Mark IIC+ power transformer and an '85 200W EVM 12L. Mike B. at Mesa/Boogie applied / added these mods: "+" mode, "Rhythm 2 volume pot", triode / pentode switch. Of course it has reverb, presence, and the GEQ. I also had the fan replaced with a quieter fan and a resistor in series to lower its speed, so the amp is rather quiet. This is a very fine and formidable amp.

I also have a MkV and a blue stripe MkV and have set them side by side and painstakingly got the V to match the blue stripe MKIII, the MkV overall tighter and the MkIII still naturally looser. So I use the MkV for tight rhythms and use the MKIII for a more fluid lead tone. The V sounds more modern to be sure, but the III has a wee bit more soul.

David Tesch That’s exactly my experience too. I compared my Mark III with John Petrucci’s JP-2C when he came for an interview to Thomann. The JP-2C is tighter and heavier but since I don’t only play heavy with my Mark, I preferred my a little more. It’s a matter of taste and style.

My uncle had ordered this particular amp back when it came out in 1988. I remember him telling me he had previously owned a Marshall JMP 2203 and a Laney AOR head ,that he used to A-B switch for channels, which ran into two Carvin 4x12s. He sold both heads PLUS cash to buy this amp ( arguable decision depending on who you talk to). Other than buying a Peavey 5150 head around 1996 ( which he eventually sold to me and I ended up selling to a friend) it was his primary amp until his death in 2010. Ive always been a Marshall guy myself and i am hopelessly devoted to that particular sound, but having the fortune of playing this amp from him; I can definitely see the love affair people have with Mesa Boogie. Its an entirely different beast from a Marshall and as the years go on, i REALLY like that tone from them

I owned the mark v 90 first. Years later I got my mark iii blue stripe combo. Now I'm keeping both. They are both mark but they are so different from each other. Mark v is super tight, clean and modern while mark iii is warm and 80s sounding. Many people think mark iii = scooped Metallica tone. Actually, it can do a lot more. From mark iv type dream theatre & lamb of god riffs to vintage bluesy overdrive. Playing mark iii with a tad of overdrive and a boutique guitar is such a delight! All you really need is to dial it right! Reading Doug West's detailed mark v manual is a good way to get you started.

I think the V is a great amp in its own right. May not sound the same as a I, IIC+, III, or IV, but I wouldn't want it to. Far more options, amazing cleans, crunchy rhythms, searing leads, independent controls,... I would never sell my III as for high gain it's just menacing (for recording with different settings the clean is beautiful and chime-y as well, think Welcome Home - Sanitarium), but I would love to have a V along side it. They each do things the other doesn't.

I have a Mark III blue stripe and a Mark V and I must say they are fairly different beasts. Both sound amazing and both definitely live up to the legacy of the mark series boogies, but they don't sound the same. I honestly think the III sounds a bit heavier and nastier than the V and I actually prefer the III for metal tones. But the V has way more independence in its controls and is ridiculously versatile. Both are definitely worth getting imo.

I love my blue stripe long head. They definitely take a while to learn, I dial mine even more aggressive than you have, I will go ahead and share that for others reading this.... first off knowing the manual well helps a ton... definitely have your volume pulled usually at 7, Treble pulled at 7, mid at straight up 5 pulled, bass at 2 and you CAN pull it depending on your pickups and how loud you are playing... the pull deep definitely adds Mesa warmth, I also drive mine harder and keep the master back down a bit, the master is extremely powerful and I prefer controlling volume from the lead master. I definitely add more presence than this, even to 6-7, because I want this to hurt and I like that wild Satriani/Vai whip of fire thing...... Also Kris set his EQ to the prototypical Petrucci setting which I'm not a fan off even on my MKV, most guys who ran these prefer the more traditional V setting and I do as well. His tone here is a tad bit midrangey and you can definitely go deeper and heavier to get that "Metallica" tone that everybody bugs about. I myself enjoy a Satriani-ish tone and my settings in class A sounds like a Marshall and a Fender had a wicked love child that is the black sheep of the family... Side note, I also have a Mark V and have set them side by side and painstakingly got the V to match the tones I always enjoyed from the blue stripe MKIII, but the MkV is just overall tighter and the MkIII still naturally looser. So I have settled in on using the MkV for tight rhythms and using the MKIII for fluid lead tone.

Are you using the lead channel with these settings, that sounds pretty piercingly bright. I believe the pull shift on the bass is only for the rhythm channel(s). Also he has the GEQ pretty extreme here, much more so than Metallica did back in the day, but they had a large amount of additional EQ scooping mids and boosting highs and lows both in the loop, and through the board post micing. I personally am not a fan of cranking the 80hz and 6600hz and dropping the 750 to the bottom as that's just too extreme, and if going for Metallica just doesn't sound like it anyways. The settings I've been rocking are Vol-6, treble-7 pulled, bass-2, mid-6, master-4 pulled, drive-7 pulled, lead master-5, presence-2. GEQ: 80 center, 240 up a hair, 750 a hair above the bottom line, 2200 between the bottom and middle line, 6600 center. Cab being a blend of G12T75 and V30s. I boost with a 808 drive at 0, level at max. Perfect for 80s hair, virtuoso leads, up to modern metal but not as much low to low mid chunk as say a recto or 5150. This is a green stripe, so it may be tighter and more compressed than a blue stripe (never tried a blue).

Many guitar players can easily find fault in many of the various makes and models of tube amps from Marshall Orange Peavey Blackstar etc but I think all might agree that there's virtually nothing to complain about with any Mesa Boogie amp, everybody seems to love them; quality reliability and most of all tone it's all there! I'm also happy that the folks at Mesa have been building their all tube amps in the USA since they first opened for business and have not (yet) ventured into the Solid state arena or, even worse, moved production to some far east manufacturers!

I get that Trey Anastasio isn't exactly this crowd's - or most crowd's thing, but that's exactly my point. People from polar ends of music can use this one amp from 30 years ago and it'll probably sound outstanding. There's one for $1800 about 4 hrs drive from me. Its not one of the valuable ones, but I stink, and I just play at home for mine and my cat's amusement so what does it matter?

Great vid! I own two MKIII's - purple stripe short and blue long heads. Definately some of the best amps for hi-gain I played in my life, very rich in harmonics and the overall sound. Very overlooked also (and for good, cause you still can buy them not for the price of 2C+, lol). Btw, the purple one is very sensitive to middle knob which adds sort of flubbyness on the lead channel which can be cool at times. The blue one is really bright but that's not a bad thing at all though. They both slay. Searching for the green and red ones, heh. \ш/

Yes, Ola. A Blue Stripe Mark III will definitely chug.

Ola would hook up a boost pedal whether it needed it or not. Everything can chug with a boost pedal. It’s basically cheating in my book though. Just tells me you haven’t dialed your amp correctly.

Dear Kris, thanks for the great demo. I also play the MB Mark III. I currently play it over a Marshall 4x12 with Celestion Vintage 30s. Which 1x12 or 2x12 cabinet would you suggest to go with the Boogie? Thanks! Always enjoy your videos! Best, Christian

I have a black dot MKIII I bought new back in the mid 80s. It sits on top of two 1x12 black shadow open backs. I named my mini full stack Nano-Tyrannous.

Wow! A mini full stack. How do you use the graphic eq? Only on the lead channel or on both?
@krelnarb

@@KrisBarocsi I would use the EQ on the Lead when I need a mid scoop or boost. Once I found a In-Your-Face lead / rhythm tone combo I would stick to it for a gig. To be honest, it took me a while to figure out just how run it; Ultra Versatile and Uber Rowdy at the same time. And even in 15W it. is. LOUD.

I bought one in 89 brand new. Mine was a fully loaded simul class long chassis head. The trick to getting the best tones out of these was easy. READ THE MANUAL. It tells you the truth about keeping the bass low and needing to keep the treble around 7 if I recall correctly and everything else about it. In the end I got a Guytron GT-100 and sold the MKIII as it couldn’t keep up...

Thanks a lot! I forced myself to stay away from additional reverb for this video. I didn’t enjoy it 😂 but usually if I make it more wet some people complain about it („can’t hear the amp, etc“). Thanks for watching!
