Dial the Mesa Boogie Mark IIC sound in on your own rig
The 1983 Mark II revision, introduced to cure the IIB's channel-switching pop and superseded a year later by the IIC+. Simul-Class output with the classic Boogie voice: a thick, singing, midrange-forward lead tone with the five-band graphic EQ carving the signature V or reverse-V, and a clean channel that stays tight and glassy. Less drive and a darker, less aggressive lead voicing than the IIC+ that followed it.
