I have three 'godlike' sounds (like some people like the Brown Sound), in they are:
Metallica -Master Of Puppets
Stryper - Against The Law
Dream Theater - Images & Words
All of these were primarily or at least for a big part recorded with:
Needless to say I'm stoked beyond belief! This'll be the centerpiece of the fridge-sized rack I have in my head.
Already looking for a 50/50 to hook it upto.
This thing's built like a fuggin' TANK! Heavy sumbitch too. It just breathes pure quality, just from looking at it. The Upper amp is the preamp of a Mark IIC and the lower preamp is a preamp from a Mark III. It's supposed to be two channels (each preamp = 1 channel), but on each 'channel' you have two completely different modes, making it a 4 channel amp. And with all the fancy shit you can do with it, it's more like 10 or more channels. The controls are awesome. More knobs and lights than a Spaceshuttle. Boatloads of options, pull/push knobs. All the controls are dependent on each other and affect each other when changed making this a tweaker's dream.

The owned had all the original papers with it still. It's in great shape too, he just had it fully checked and retubed. And this is a euro version with a factory 220v capacitor in there.
This thing's got 8 preamp tubes, switching goes through tubes too, so you actually have to let it get warmed up before switching.
The warranty booklet says the Purchase Date is January 14 '94. But inside, on the Reverb Tank there is some text:
'MB (I believe) 3/9/92', next to it there's also '"WA" and another '92 date'. So it was probably brought in for warranty on that date.
It was purchased in a Boogie store in Germany, so that might account for the 2 year span, anyways it doesn't matter.
Not too sure when they stopped producing these, but I think around '92 or '94. However it may be, this was one of the last ones made.
-----------------
The FSU2(-A) footswitch is nice too! I'm glad it's included, they go for lotsa bucks nowadays on the Bay. You can connect it to other smaller FSU's and run them into the switching ins/outs on the back to actually bleed different channels into each other! (You can also do this with the main FSU2, but you have to press both channelbuttons at the exact time time).
-------------
Not too sure about the Mike Bendinelli initials, it looks like an upwards arrow with both diagonal lines going back to the center line, which makes it seem like an M with a B on it's right leg. Anyways just a little detail, but makes it cooler.

Anyways, can't wait to crank this badboy!!!!!!!!!

Obviously he wanted to downsize, hehehe.
I had a Quad and a studio at the same time as a soldano SP77, and for high gain... I really preferred the Soldano. Still a great preamp though!
