I said to the guy in the guitar shop in Twickenham &#8211; what&#8217;s the best amp you have in the store? (of course I now know that was a bit of a silly question but I was 21 so what did I know?!). He looked around and said &#8211; this Mesa Boogie Mark III is the most expensive. I wasn&#8217;t after it because I wanted the best amp in the world &#8211; or wanted a better amp than my friends &#8211; I just don&#8217;t like worrying about what-if &#8211; or perhaps I should have bought &#8211; or oh drat &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t do such and such sound. The shop owner said this would do almost everything sound-that other amps did &#8211; because it was modelled on their circuitry + it did a bunch of it&#8217;s own sounds &#8211; now I think generally referred to as the &#8216;Cali&#8217; sound. Great I thought.<\/p>\n<h3>The Mesa Boogie MK III like all Mesa&#8217;s is beautifully put together by hand<\/h3>\n<p>Anyway &#8211; I bought it (when I had a reasonable day job and a steady income I hasten to add) and really didn&#8217;t do much with it for 30 years. It was wasted in me I found out later as I never had a chance to play &#8211; always tied up with that annoying need of having to food in my mouth. Actually &#8211; I thought it was a rather dull sounding amp. But that&#8217;s because I used to round off the top-end as I had an eversion to whiny screeching trebly 60&#8217;s sounding guitars that hurt my ears + 1 guy in the band I was in insisted on burning out my and everyone else in the band&#8217;s ear drums every time we practiced. But I was a bit disappointed &#8211; the amp sounded nothing like my hero James Burton or Jimi Hendrix &#8211; it just sounded non-descript &#8211; so I assumed he told me a load of baloney.<\/p>\n<p>Well anyway &#8211; a few years ago I started researching amps as you do online &#8211; because everything is there now isn&#8217;t it? Basically I needed to re-valve the thing as the reverb was not working and there was now almost zero overdrive coming out of the thing. I started to watch shootouts of all these amps and couldn&#8217;t believe it &#8211; apart from I think a Soldano which seemed to top it a bit on &#8216;nastiness&#8217; with high-gain &#8211; this old black box was sounding better to my ears than all the other amps it was pitted against &#8211; and quite a few of the testers themselves came to the same conclusion.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_664\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-664\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-664 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.101guitars.rocks\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/03\/inside-amp-mesa-boogie-markIII-head-amplifier.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.101guitars.rocks\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/03\/inside-amp-mesa-boogie-markIII-head-amplifier.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.101guitars.rocks\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/03\/inside-amp-mesa-boogie-markIII-head-amplifier-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.101guitars.rocks\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/03\/inside-amp-mesa-boogie-markIII-head-amplifier-768x466.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-664\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Trying to figure out why the reverb stopped working (I don&#8217;t much like spring reverbs but whatever) this was the first time I looked inside this Mesa Boogie MK III beast of a guitar amp in 30 years. Rather beautiful to look and nicely made. Hope you enjoy looking in there as much as I did! Remember &#8211; these things kick out death-inducing amounts of electricity so be VERY careful poking around in your guitar amp electronics. I was literally shouted at by a local guitar amp tech when I told him I was poking about in mine!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And then something else happened &#8211; I started playing with the amp settings myself &#8211; <em>properly<\/em> &#8211; and&#8230; well I was really surprised. Not only did I find that the bit in the owner&#8217;s manual about it only needing a nudge here or there on a dial to completely change tone was true (in conjunction with nudges on other dials which I never ever did) &#8211; I found the sound was beautiful &#8211; it shimmered to use that over-used term!<\/p>\n<p>Then I read about different valves and whilst I don&#8217;t think they play a huge role &#8211; switching these in conjunction with speaker jacks I got some really nice sounds I never knew were inside this box. Silly me &#8211; only 30 years to find out! But that&#8217;s what happens when you are bogged down in day-to-day work scratching a terrible living and worrying to death every day about everything but what you like doing or are good at.<\/p>\n<p>Now I can say I&#8217;m so happy I bought this amp &#8211; not least because I could never afford another guitar amp like this &#8211; I have to say now &#8211; it is a beast &#8211; but in al the right ways!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>More articles on the MK III<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.audiofanzine.com\/tube-guitar-amp-head\/mesa-boogie\/mark-iii-head\/user_reviews\/r.100665.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mesa Boogie MKIII &#8211; The best amp I ever played!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegearpage.net\/board\/index.php?threads\/mesa-boogie-mark-iii.121374\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.thegearpage.net &#8211; Mesa Boogie Mark III<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>One Mesa Boogie User says<\/strong>: <em>I think the MkIII is the best amp that Boogie ever made, and I have owned most of them.
