Mesa Boogie Studio Pre with IIC++ (Modded by Mesa Boogie USA)
This is an extremely rare Mesa Boogie Studio Preamp with IIC++ Mod. Mesa don't do these mods anymore, and this is only one of THREE Studio Pre's with this mod in existence! Click on the 'video' tab below to hear audio samples Sent back to Mesa Boogie USA in June for full service (can provide documentation) Its no secret that the studio pre circuitry is the closest you can get to a real IIC+ without having to spend Ā£+. Match this preamp + mod with a good power amp you have basically the same tone as a real IIC+ for a fraction of the price. What makes this amp unique is that it has an extra +, as in it is a IIC++, which is the EXACT same mod that James Hetfield from Metallica had done to his Mesa Boogie. I have uploaded an audio clip to youtube of me noodling on my guitar recorded with an iPhone, so the quality is not great, but you will get the general idea...eg CHUNKY METALLICA PALM MUTES. My setup was: Fender Jim Root Telecaster with EMG pickups - this Preamp - Mesa Power amp - Cab with V30 speakers Pickup from central London or can post Ad ID: Delivery Service Consumer Credit
