NOTE: This listing has been down for the better part of a year. It went back up on 6/15/2026.

This amp, which was built in 1990, has been sitting in the back of my smoke and pet free office on a cabinet getting light use since the late 90s. I swore I'd never sell it, but I list it now and then in moments of weakness. Consider this to be one of those moments, and I'm going to lowball myself to try to force myself to sell it (to someone other than myself). I no longer have any cabinets, and plugging this into the back of a Trem-o-verb combo to make sure it worked felt very wrong.

This is a green stripe, as seen in the picture and confirmed by the date inside and outside the chassis, so it is the most modern Mark III you can get. I run it in full power mode most of the time even though it is quite loud, but it does sound nice in 1/2 power as well. I've had a ton of fun going after earlier Metallica tones with it.

As far as overall condition goes it all seems to work, there is minimal hiss, and the tolex is in good shape. I will include the official Mesa cover.

It has 6L6s in the middle and EL34s on the outside, as recommended by Mesa (and less than 25 hours on the power tubes).

NOTE: I will NOT ship, but I'll drive an (un)reasonable distance if you ask nicely and meet me along the way. I have driven into Cambridge and Maine before to deliver stuff. Just for clarity, this means up to an hour or two each way if you are meeting me at least half way.
