Overview - Mesa/Boogie MARK IIC+ Owner's Manual

OVERVIEW

Congratulations on your choice of the Mark IIC+ and Welcome to the MESA/Boogie Family!
The amplifier you've chosen is one of our most iconic and inspirational models, steeped in both amplifier and
rock music history. A Channel-switching benchmark at the time, it solidified the placement of our popular 5-Band
Graphic Equalizer and Effects Loop in the signal path and improved the switching between its two performance
Modes, as well as their sounds. While these improvements were great steps forward in the evolution of the
Mark Series, it is really the Mark IIC+'s identifiable character and tone that has withstood the test of time and
made them vintage Boogie treasures.
The sparkling Clean performance and fiery attack, mid-focused punch, and soaring, smooth overdrive in the
LEAD Mode made IIC+s the voice for many of the 80s' most recorded and influential guitarists. They have since
become largely unobtanium, with clean pre-owned examples bringing many times their original price in fully
optioned form, and are now legendary, mystical beasts, hard to capture and impossible to tame.
This re-creation of the originals, considering today's available-parts and regulatory challenges, has been
challenging and fun, along with highly educational as well. In the end, we feel we've reached a job well done
and that owners of this IIC+ will be as happy, perhaps even happier, than those paying many times more for
one of the less than 3,000 original Mark IIC+s built in 1984 and early '85. The fact that this rendition can be had
for far less than the current price of an original C+ with their components now either 40 years old or no longer
original due to potential servicing performed over the years, makes this re-creation a sound choice.
