This is one of the best guitar tones I've heard on TH-cam.
klayray wow, thank you! That’s quite a compliment! 🙏
That white Explorer sounds THICC
Great video and awesome playing! The more I play my blue stripe the more I keep finding new tones. This thing can do meshuggah, dream theater, blues/jazz, classic rock, you name it. Wouldn’t trade it for the world.
Thanks a lot! Yeah it’s a very special amp. 🙌
Unbelievable demo. And I am trying to not talk about the amp, although you made it sound amazing. I am talking about the incredible range of tones you threw in and time you took to research and articulate such an informative history lesson. It is unbelievable when seeing how many other products you are reviewing on you channel. This was my first to watch and I subscribed immediately. Thanks!
This is such a well-made video. Extremely informative and well structured. I like that you alternate between playing and talking - this is a much better approach then just splitting the video in half!
Thanks for the walkthrough, I’ve had the blue stripe coliseum since the early 90’s and recently had it brought back to life by changing out all of the capacitors and of course re-tubing. It’s such a beast around the house,I can barely get the volume to 2 without driving the my family members or neighbors crazy.
I like this dude for reasons I cant explain. just passes a good vibe.
also, this LP is SO beautiful, geez.
Kris seems like a person, you want to spent some time around.
It's a Harley Benton
i fully agree
Absolutely fantastic video Kris. The Boogie MkIII is such an underrated amp. You really got some of the best tones I've heard from one.
They are so tricky to dial in, you really need to spend time with one.
When dialed in right they sound amazing , but when dialed in wrong they can cut your head off.
The really great thing is the way these amps sit in a mix. The mids are so right.
Thanks for this
Finally got one! This has been my dream amp for a while! I think I'll be set for a long time.
That is a clear and nice explanation of this amp. Nice playing, too! I play guitar a long time, various amps, currently Marshalls but have never put a hand on Boogie. An so I found you. And you showed me everything. So thank you and cheers from Poland 💜👍💜
Thanks a lot, glad to hear you liked the video. These Mark series Boogies are really nice amps indeed. 👍
Got great chops! I also like in this video how you explain then demonstrate this particular amp's features. 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!
Mark III Simul-class was my first Boogie. Love this amp! Great job🤘🤘🤘
Excellent, Kris. 👏👏 I've had my mk3 purple stripe 60/100 in exotic hardwood since late 1980's. Brilliant product.
Changed my speaker to a crlestion g12 early on to give a warmer and not so harsh sound. I find them a bit directional, so just bought a 1 x12 boogie extension cab to put elsewhere and spread the sound around!
Nice! I have had the mk3, mk4, mk5, studio 22, triaxis, and now I have an 1976 Mark 1.....very nice amps! I think the mk3 likes to see a high output humbucker for the most aggressive sounds. Love those amps!
Thank you Kris B. High quality demo, so much so I managed to find and buy a MKIII blue stripe. Quality tones and playing.
love to hear you play. Have played this over and over.
Kris... dude, you videos are getting so good. I might be biased about this one, I have a Mk. 5 and absolutely love it. I always keep looking for something that would replace it but at this point, I can’t find anything, so I’m a Boogie lover through and through.
Loved watching you on Thomann and was so excited when you started your own channel. The videos are better each time you release and you are such a legend now. I’ll stop gushing the love on you, but that intro song was my favorite thing you’ve done. So very cool and the riff was just badass. Been here since the beginning and you are getting so epic. Sorry if I sound like a kiss ass but you are the one new channel I have as must watch.
Eric Carpenter Dude, you’re just too awesome. I’m not worthy. Haha!
I take this whole video making thing seriously and try to create video I would also enjoy watching. And to be honest, I’m really picky. Haha!
I appreciate your words a lot man! Much love!
Kris Barocsi keep them coming. Hahaha. Much love your way as well.
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.
Thanks a million for posting this. Thanks to your helpful video I've finally unlocked the key to great tones with my Mk III. I liked it so much I hunted down a second one :-). (nice playing as well!)
Awesome Mat, happy to hear that. 😁
Excellent video dude! I also own a mark 3 red stripe. It always sounds amazing. I completely agree with the Graphic EQ. Excellent video my friend
Great demo video showing the versatility of one of my favorite amps of all time. Nice job 👍🏻 🤘🏻
Killer tones, Kris! That clean channel is to die for! And the rhythm and lead channels sound so good! I’ve only played a Mark III once but it sounded great! I have owned multiple C+’s (which are my favorite Boogie) as well as Mark IV’s/Triaxis/Lonestar/2 channel Recto’s etc. all the way up to my JP2C Limited Edition which is my main amp.
I may have to snag a Mark III later down the line!
Thanks man, yeah these are special amps!
About time someone made a great video of this classic amp. I'm a Mark iii green stripe owner, and I can assure that it is absolutely killer.
I’m buying off a friend . Can’t wait
@@techdeathhippie6319 Green-stripe owner over here too, LOVE it.
@@Soloist1983 I actually bought a wicker cab and got the ++ mod . What an amp . Congrats on your amp bro
I own a black dot Mark III and it is the secret weapon. Have Mike B at Mesa do the R2 mod so it has a volume. Get a 4 button footswitch from Switchdoctor and you will have a machine that will play quiet and also rip peoples faces off. Le the people pay out the ass for a 2C++ all they want. The Mark III is amazing! Great Video!
That is some incredible guitar tone, top notch man !!!
Wow! Best demo I've ever seen of a Mark III. Got me thinking of picking up one again
jeff dude, thank you!! Such good amps!
Hi, thanks a lot for this video. You helped me getting a better sound out of my Mark III combo!
Thank You For All This Great History Knowledge' With Awesome Tone Sample's!🎸🔊🎼
Still one of the best sounding demos anywhere on YT :-)
Great video.
Finally someone not just playing metal on one of these amps!
Great video amp sounds amazing & great playing! I'm sold and want one !
Nice to hear a III with so many different guitars. Great backstory, etc
Corey Clark thanks Corey! It’s a fantastic old amp and it deserves this little tribute. 🤘 cheers and stay safe!
AWESOME TONE! Good new look. KEEP ROCKING🤘
GVB Jr. Thanks a lot dude! RnR!
Great Mesa Boogie Vid! Thanks for posting!
WOW! Great tones, great playing. I've always thought these amps are only good for high gain stuff. Thanks for educating me
Great video thanks for sharing. Amazing guitar tones
I have an '85 Mark III combo (no stripe - the 80th one built). Greatest amp I've ever used.
Really good review thanks! FYI. I use my mark 3 red stripe, which I’ve owned since 1986, with a Behringer FCB1010 Midi Foot Controller (£110). I use it to switch between the amp channels and FX patches on my Rocktron Intellifex simultaneously.
Amazing tones!👍🏻👍🏻
Great video. Killer tones. Awesome presentation. Subscribing! 😎👍
Great video,love the Mark series.I have a Mark III no stripe 105 pt with the rhythm 2 and reverb mods as well as the + mod and pentode /triode switch as well as simuclass and EV 12L speaker.
Excellent tone & pLayin'...killer sounding amp...thanks for the demo man..
Just have to say...such a well done video in every way...excellent job and i have watched this many times
Thank you so much Gary! It's awesome to hear! :) Cheers!
Kris i own 2 mark III blue stripes and they are the best
Great tone, great playing and great new look 👍
Great legato technique, love it!
I've owned this amp since 89...and NEVER felt the need to change. The amp can be made to sound like anything. The pre and post gain tone controls are the key.
Wow, love the tone and the tasty technique!
I have a red stripe Mark III combo. Best amp I've ever played thru.. I use it as a one channel amp when playing live. Keep the Bass below 1.5/2..
Awesome playing and sound 👍🏻
Really cool video. That explorer sounds great.
what a smooth and creamy sound! great playing too
Best sounds I had listen from an mk3.
I had a Mesa boogie mk3 Grenn Stripe in Imbuya wood.
I had all the pedals but to play singing leads it must was too loud.
Because my class A was 25w not 15w.
I this this blue stripe is 25w also.
The blue and the green was 85/25 and not 75/15.
Thanks mate keep rocking
I have a Mark III Red Stripe long head that has the reverb on the front. It sounds great, and almost more importantly. It feels great to play.
Some excellent playing in this. I've got a mk iii purple stripe combo and it does show its age a bit, it can be a bit noisy and crackly despite services and maintenance. It weighs a ton, is as loud as holy hell but if you can find that sweet spot it is brilliant. Agree with poster though, switching channels, especially when gigging and in the middle of a song can leave you a bit in no-man's land.
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/
My fav amp!
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
Michael L Rakes Thanks for sharing this great story with us! Take care!
coolvid. heavy tone reminds me of the Down NOLA album. keep up the good work! 🤟
Pepper Keenan records with a Mesa Boogie .50 caliber. It's a similar amp. Good observation!
Really great sound and playing
Thank you so much man!
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.
Sounds absolutely awesome. That sweet amp is a keeper. 🔥
Really nice tones, got my wanting a markiii amp!
Great amp and playing! I don't know why I watch videos of products I will never be able to buy due to financial considerations. But I enjoyed your playing.
Vicariously GASing 🤘🏽
Siddharth Karunakaran thanks so much buddy! You’re probably watching this for the same reason I’m watching The Grand Tour with all those ridiculous super cars. Haha! It’s all about being inspired, isn’t it?
@@KrisBarocsi Yes it is. I am a fan of the grand tour as well. Really admire your playing. Now it is time for me to go practice.
Great video man! That MK III sounds amazing, I have always wanted to own a blue stripe and your video just made it worst now 😂 Cheers man 🍻
love my purple stripe and yeah... i had a mesa certified repair shop go over it so it wouldn't catch fire :D
I have a Mark III blue stripe too. It is a tone machine. The graphic EQ is what makes this amp so versatile. But I basically use it for the Metallica tone. It chugs really nice
That`s the amp line I should have saved for, but I got the mini rectifier instead... Thanks for the review and demo!
Michael Löhner Don’t worry Michael, the mini rectifier is equally awesome just with a very different character. I used to own a triple rectifier for over 7 years and I loved it for what it is.
👍👍 😎 Love It!. Thank You. 🎸🎶 🇺🇸
When I was 16 (in the late ‘90’s) I had a 60 watt non simul-class Mark III with out the graphic EQ. I never made friends with it like I wanted, but I was also very stuck in a vintage SRV/Hendrix mindset at the time. This video makes me wonder how I’d feel about today knowing how my taste and approach to dialing in amps has changed!
I had a Mesa Studio Preamp (Mark ii circuit I believe) that I ran through the power section of my dad's 70s Peavey VT Classic 410. Odd combo but sounded killer. Later on I landed a Rivera ported 212 that I used with it too.
Great video!
Nice demo, man!
Thanks. Just about drove 5 hrs to get a non simul-class until I saw this. I owe you a beer
Phantastic tone, thanks for this
Stay safe
Cheers
Michael
That’s a lot Michael! 🙌 cheers!
This reminds me of my Dual Rectifier Tremoverb, or maybe it just makes me want to play through it :). I certainly agree Mesa's can take a little more time than Fender's or Marshall's to dial in, but they're really rewarding when they are
Most underrated amp ever
I don't now you, but I like those tasty licks in the beginning and the clean haircut. subscribed!
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.
@@aceoftrons The long head just means there is a reverb tank in the front, which I do not use anyway, but some were in the back on the short... if it looks good then don't worry about it or keep your eye out on ebay.... but per your request min is about 23 1/4" wide oustide measurement
@@aceoftrons My head has the 8 knobs, slider EQ and four switches on the front
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).
Great video, thanks 👍🏻
The first amp ever 3 channel Amp and Simul class running both 2 6l6 and El34's at the same time. There is an R2 Mod that helps with balancing both channels or use a boss limiter, it works wonders.
I love the telly sound but I must admit, the LP... WOW! Jr was hot too! Of course the Mesa is an amazing amp! That's why I dont like the reverse headstocks, the tuner head knobs fall off. Thanks to Kris for sharing! 🎶😜🎶
Yeah, there are amps that work with certain types of guitars better. I love the Mark mostly with P90s and humbuckers. Less with strats and teles, unless you set the clean channel to a nice american clean and use pedals for gain. That's magic too, the amp takes pedal drive very well too.
@@KrisBarocsi aah that explains why with the LP it stood out and brought out the magical sound of the LP. Thanks Kris , and have a great weekend !
good deal...thank you!...it was too much for me to figure out what everything does on my own just by experimenting...it can get out of control...
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.
Congrats on both beauties, these are very different sounding indeed! You’re right, the scooped early Metallica sound is far from being the „normal“ tone of the IIIs and IVs. You really have to pull out the mids on the graphic EQ to get there. 😅 Cheers!
@@KrisBarocsiYou just give the standard V shape on the EQ. That’s fairly standard for Marks in metal.
Metallica used a 2c++ & later went to 4 on AJFA & the Black Album. It’s all the same lineage. They lost the separate drive on the 5 but it has enough gain to make it not matter. They’re all going to have fairly similar “in the ballpark” sound characteristics.
Holy sh*t, that's some serious guitar tones... Best ones I've heard in a while, congratulations !
Maybe a dumb question but : Vintage Mark Series boogies are known to be awesome, but what about the current mark V ? Do you think it stands the comparison ? :o
The Mark V has a lot of improved features and is def. worth getting. Definitely in the top 3 best sounding amps in it's price range.
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.
Some pretty fine picking.
I had a 1992 MKiv and foolishly sold it. But now I have a TA-15 and really enjoy that.
Nice Demo. I own a Mk2a amp which sounds glorious, a MkIV and a Studio Pre and Quad pre ( with 50/50 power amp). The mk2 has the most unique character of them all
Awesome collection 🙌 Thanks man!
I owned a blue stripe loaded Mark III for a while. It was the single best amp I ever owned. Circumstances dictated that I sell it. I did get a very good price for it. But I'd have rather kept it if I could have.
So happy to report, a year later, that I got my hands on another loaded Blue Stripe. This one will be kept!!!
Wow i never heard to drop out the bass, thanks!
Love this video Kris
Thanks ..this is my next purchase in profiles
Ps what was the white guitar it's wild
You wouldn’t believe what that guitar was originally. Haha! It was a project guitar I scraped back to bare wood and rebuilt a few years ago. It’s now called the Barocsi Exploder. 😂
I will start a series showing my guitars in detail very soon. This one will get its own episode for sure. 👍🏻

We need more Mark 3 videos 😊.
Act of Heinz Haha! Fair enough. I’m actually planning on shooting a video with the Mark 3 pretty soon. It’s not gonna be about the amp but I really need the graphic eq to show what I want. 😉 Stay tuned.
Great video, great tone! Inspired me to dust off my mkIII Black dot.
Thanks! Glad to hear that! Have fun with your MKIII!
Holy crap been awhile since I seen this guy!
Hey dude, I'm still alive. Haha! Where did you see me first? Was it the old Rectifier video in 2009?
You've managed to make a huge low end amp sound thin and anaemic. Well done lol
As a 30+ year owner/player of a MkIII, I thank you for a great review! Part of the uncharted territory with these amps is speaker/cab selection, so please talk more about how you captured your sound, where the OX box fits in, and how that influences your tone adjustments.
Thanks Kerry and happy to have you around. :) I will revisit my recording process (amp and OX settings) in my next Comment Time video. Coming up soon! :) Cheers!

Great video, Kris. Can you go in depth on your settings for your clean, crunch and lead tones?
Hey man, you're not the first asking this, so I will include my clean and crunch settings in my next Comment Time Q&A video.

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
