In this video, we'll service a 1990s Mesa-Boogie Dual Caliber DC-3. The DC3 is sort of like a 2-Channel Mark Series amp with EL-84 output tubes. There were a couple other models in the Dual Caliber Series, which lasted from about 1993 until around 2000, featured several models (Studio Caliber DC-2, Dual Caliber DC-3, Dual Caliber DC-5, and Dual Caliber DC-10). This example came to me with intermittently red plating output tubes, sound that cut in and out, faulty EQ, and just generally in need of cleaning and maintenance. The Dual Caliber Series was eventually replaced with the now also discontinued F Series (F-30 and F-50). The fact that this model series isn't even listed on Mesa's "Out of Production Products" website list means this is indeed the forgotten Mesa-Boogie model series.
