Mesa Boogie Mark III 3-Channel 100-Watt Guitar Amp Head 1987 Red Stripe
The Mesa Boogie Mark III+ Red Stripe delivers classic 1980s California gain with aggressive articulation, deep low-end authority, and surgical EQ control. As the final revision of the Mark III circuit before the launch of the IV, the Red Stripe variant is prized for its more aggressive voicing and enhanced saturation—especially in the coveted "+" lead channel mod, factory-upgraded in many late-era heads like this one. With three switchable channels, a 5-band Graphic EQ, and 100/60-watt Simul-Class operation, this 1987 USA-built head is the perfect tool for dialing in searing leads, thumping rhythm tones, or lush clean passages. Finished in classic Black Tolex, this Mark III+ is a brutal tone machine that defined an era. This amp is in excellent condition for its age and has been partially recapped by Mesa Boogie in 2022.
