NAD Mesa MK III


Recommended Posts

I've been looking for an older Boogie combo amp and this one popped up on the Portland Craigslist. I was down there in Oregon last Thursday Friday and came home yesterday so I picked up this bad boy.

It's an 1985 early Mark 3 "simulclass" with an ATA case. So it's switchable from EL34s (15 watts) to 6L6s (50 watts). Looks like it's brand new. Took it to a gig last night at a private party event that we did and REALLY love the tone. I've been playing through a Fender Super-sonic for the last three or four years.

Love it!

When you talk about switchable EL34s/6L6s, make sure you're running 34s in the outer sockets and 6L6s in the inner ones ... don't run four EL34s!  Download the free manual off Boogie's website if you haven't already, it will explain in more detail.

Thanks, yes it has the tubes configured that way and I have the original manual.
