The King Snake is the one I would love to get my hands on, not out yet!!!...this is the Boogie to model!!!!
I made a killer King Snake preset the other day using the Texas Star model and adjusting the Input trim(lower) and speaker parameters and using the Ownhammer CL-80 and EVL cabs!
Ill post the preset later and do a recording too!

More detailed simulation of the preamp supply.....:mrgreen

Wow...Galo, that's some nice amp! I would love to have this in the AF2 one day.....:ugeek:eagerness:
cheers

Then someone told me that the Axe-Fx was not created to have all amps and channels but so that people could use it as a tool to create whatever tone there is and we have enough Mesas. I don't quite understand why we need over 50 Plexi clones in the Axe-Fx but fine that's the answer I'm going to accept.
Actually... I think we might aswell get all the channels from the Mark V since they are not the same as the real IIC+, Mark IV or Mark I. They are different.
I had a MkIIC combo decked out and a MKI head w/no reverb , Loved the MKI wound up playing it and the IIc stayed home ! I'd like to find that in the Ax also!!!
True but the Mark I is such a nightmare to dial in on Mark V.Still give it a try almost every time I run the V

Still I think Paco is partially right.Its based on a Princeton with Bassman transformers
True , but princetones looked like all other fender models with reverb (in the preamp) . The bassman-transformers were just to get more power (Not a bassman sound) . Higher current (maybe some voltage to ) and also
different load imp for the powertubes (from 6v6 to 6L6).
Well , the mark 1 was actually a fender with an extra boost stage before the first "stage"(with a slight modification in the reverb mix-stage) . It also had a master volume after the reverb mix stage .
Most fenders: blackface, brownface, silverface, had the same preamp schematic. I guess you could take a Twin,showman, deluxe or pro and put a tubedrive (with no eq or dist) in front of it to get close to that sound. It might be best (depending on taste) to take the reverbchannel to get that scooped mids and sissling highs. (Or like Cliff said, take a clean boogie and do the same thing with.) But the mark 1 also hade a "marshall"-type of presence( could only boost the highs) unlike the later boogies.
Man, does this thread ever bring back memories. It was my dream as a teenager, when Carlos first started using Boogies, to get one. I've tried the Mesa models in the Ultra and the II over the years but I was never captivated by them. That always puzzled me, and now I think I understand why.
I hear a thickness in the mids in the King Snake videos that have a Dumble quality. I see where Paco is coming from. Yet, it's not the same as a Dumble. The later Boogies (Mark IIC+, etc.) don't seem to have that quality.
I sure hope that Cliff models an original Mark I Boogie or a King Snake.

To me, Mark I's, Mark IIA and IIB had a cool fat and raw sound (IIA and IIB less so than the Mark I) - the 'Fender on steroids' thing that Lowell George said about Dumble. The IIC+ may be when Mesa really figured out how to make a smooth, clear, polished and even higher gain amp, but the earlier models had serious mojo of their own.
