Right now I like the Mark III the best which is unexpected ha

Here's a clip I did to compare my Mark series amps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5el75lVLHGc&feature=youtu.be

Did a shootout with these beasts to try and figure out which to use on our next recording, I'm no closer to deciding haha. All good in different ways. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44R6kEWOc9w

The III is more raw and open sounding, in the same way the c+ is. The IV is more refined and modern, has a more percussive chunk on the palm mutes which for me is the best of any of the Marks including the c+. IV is a lot darker especially the B version. It would be the darkest of all the Marks...

Just did a wee test with my HRG, think I got sort of close... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdHgrNtNZSc

Thanks man, glad you liked it! You look like you have a bit of c+ experience, is there much difference between the different power transformers tone wise?

Just gave this song a go with the c+, not as scooped as the original because I don't have a Parametric EQ. Tone has a lot of bite to it, would probably sound great with bass but I left that out so you can hear the nuance of the guitar more. 6 tracks panned hard left and right...

Thanks! I just did a new one covering Leper Messiah, this time recorded properly instead of with a camera phone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxWs-I8cge0 Honestly when I first got the c+ I was confused because I was expecting this super tight beast and it was actually the most flubby of all...

This is probably a well established topic but if anyone has a c+ that has not done a recap it's well worth doing. Before I had the caps replaced the low end was a bit loose on the c+ which was not what I was expecting. I managed to dial it out to tighten the amp up using some rather unorthodox...

Oh wow that's really interesting, I didn't realise the non simulclass models were pentode. The C+ is a 60/100 set to 60w, pull deep engaged. Triode setting was for the Mark V, it's a two-way switch between that and pentode regardless of which wattage mode you have it set to

Yeah that’s a good idea, I don’t think c+ mode is actually the ideal V tone so I should do another shootout with both amps on their optimal settings. For that vid pull deep was engaged on the c+ and the V was set to triode. Settings as per the photos if you can make them out.

Did another shootout, thought the V did pretty well here, definitely a bit more focused sounding than the original like Mesa always like to highlight with their newer offerings. C+ sounds smoother but not as tight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boQXl0wb8D4&feature=youtu.be

Great, thanks all

Sounds great! Where did you get the Torpedo impulse from?

Hi guys, just curious how this power section works? In 60w mode does it drop a couple of the tubes like simuclass? If so which ones are dropped / active? Cheers
