Pretty sure yours is a 2011.

First and second digits are the model. (QR)
3rd is the wattage. (1 = 100)
4th and 5th digits are the year made and the remaining are the number of amps produced at that time. (11 = 2011) w 1,278 made.

For instance if your serial number is QR109996 this would be a Quick Rod 100 watt built in 2009 and was the 996th amp built.

For another example. Mine is QR108634

So Quick Rod
100w
2008
634th built

Thanks man, good to know.

Hard to remember as it was 10 years + between Quick Rods for me, but I'm pretty sure the voicing on this 2011 is different than say 2006, and for the better.

Our Mesa MkIII blew a tube or cap so full video will have to wait. We did manage to finish this mini-song with our buddy Jesse on lead guitar duties. No wah allowed!

from a 40yr player and 30 yr live sound eng. perspective, having mixed tons of boutique amps live, a healthy boogie mark III and some pedals should be able to carry anyone through any country/blues/rock/metal situation.

Zen is fabulous. So far the Wizard MTL was may fav ! Great stuff
 
Love my green stripe Mark III even if it doesn't get played all the time these days. That clip sounds killer - I can't wait for the whole video.
 
Bogner Ecstasy 101B vid now up. This really is an awesome amp, and 30 years old this year I believe.

I've know more than a few guys who have dismissed the XTC without taking the time to mess with the various switches and controls. For example not using the Bright switch (B1) and running the treble under 2:00 is a recipe for a lifeless, dark sound.
