Please subscribe! Here’s my attempt at doing a black album esque mix with my Mark IIc++ I recently acquired. It is an incredible amp, and really does the thing. I went back and forth with speaker choice and ultimately went with the t75 here. Bass is mixed with neural dsp darkglass vst. Drums are superior drummer. Three guitar takes, one left and right one down the middle. I know it’s not 100 percent right because I learned this song probably 20 some odd years ago and just went for it. Was really stoked on the production of this, I plan on doing more modern reimaginings of some of their other classic tones and other classic album tones with gear I’ve acquired. As you can see I’m a total amp addict. If you’re into high gain guitar tones, mixing and all that other stuff please subscribe!
The track here was obviously written by Metallica. I performed, mixed, and mastered this myself.
I’m definitely planning on doing some stuff from AJFA.
I also know there was a Jose Marshall used on the black album with the IIc+, but I only wanted to use the IIc+ here. Mainly because I don’t own a Jose modded Marshall.
If you’d like me to do the isolated guitar tone on its own let me know and I can bounce those tracks!

Imagine the sales if boogie reissued these

They did, in a way. The John Petrucci model is a remanufactured 2C++ with a few tweaks like an extra EQ.

They would be 10 grand and everyone would complain they don't sound the same.

The Mark series are incredible amps. I have a Mark III I bought new in 1988, blue stripe I believe. You can get this type of heavy tone and also a incredible Fendery clean. Mine is a 60w combo with factory EVM12L speaker, no built-in EQ.

I have 5 of mark series amps, Green stripe, Red stripe, Blue Stripe and a a IIC+.. if they were vastly different they wouldn't have just swiped each version with just a magic marker swipe or a black dot or a + sign. The big difference in the IIC+ and the Mark III was the third channel. Mesa got noticeably different with the Mesa badging vs the Boogie badges. The Rectifier series,The lone star, Road King,Nomad, etc came later and did sound different... The stiletto was probably the most different being EL34 based shooting toward the Marshall tone. Even my newer Mark 5 EL84 based amp sits in my studio with the older mark III'S and IIC+ it too sounds really close even all these years later with totally different power section/ tubes. The petrucci amp is a modern Mark amp and you can line up all the Mark series amps and NO one in the audience would ever know the difference and most guitar players blind folded couldn't pick them out one from the other especially with the transparent EVM 12L black shadow speaker or an MC-90 black shadow. The IIC+ landed production in the right time to become the flagship vintage boogie. Thats when 80's music was huge and that amp was produced at the right time for the players who made it famous. it didn't make them famous. I would argue a Mark III purple, red, blue or green stripe Mark III could have been used by the players who made the IIC+ famous and those albums and concerts wouldn't have sounded any different. They just weren't available at the time those bands recorded those albums. They stopped the IIC+ when the mark III came into production. They stopped the III when the Mark IV started and so on....they are all great amps and tonally are the same. Most of those bands stopped playing the IIC+ and went to the mark III when it came out because the sound was basically the same but the 3 had a third channel, everyone loved that.

Nice tone man, well done. You're rushing slightly, though. Fairly consistently ahead of the beat.

@Brandon-RZ 5 ай бұрын

Thanks. Yeah definitely not perfect here. I didn’t do dis or anything just recorded next to a cranked amp with no editing. Was mostly stoked at the production here since all was mixed by me. These aren’t track rips or anything from the drums and bass.

Sounds great even though the album was recorded on V30s. Great job!

Thanks dude! I only have an 8 ohm V30 currently with my Mesa OS from 2002. I felt the 16 ohm t75 I have sounded closer and had that more natural scooped sound and the highs.

@@Brandon-RZ Yeah, it sounds pretty much close to BA to me. Keep going, maybe you will capture old albums sound with T75, because it was used on MOP and AJFA.
