Just something to add to my initial review above that may help some forum members that I discovered after owning the VII for a while… In my opinion (yours may vary as tone is a subjective thing) …. To get a really excellent clean sound, consider picking up a (brand name) “Super Clean” boost...

Yeah - at first glance, I saw the JP2C plate in the bottom right corner before reading and was thinking wow - they shorted you an EQ! (LOL). I'll give your ideas a shot., bandit. Thanks!

I'm going to try this! I too, have a Mark VII and a Silver Sky (along with two other humbucker PRS guitars) and boy, do I know what you mean by ice-picky! My Custom 24 had a McCarty mod with a push-pull pot to change the 'buckers to single coils, and it's definitely not that harsh in single...

I just remembered that between the Mesa V-90 and the Helix, I had a Marshall JVM 410H and a 4X12 1960 cab. I didn’t bond with the tones - it must’ve been the tubes, but I couldn’t find those creamy lead settings you get with a Mesa. I knew I’d forget something!

I started playing electric at 8 years old and I’m 68 now. I had an old cheapo Harmony 1X8” to start followed by the Sears Silvertone 2X12” (with the head stored in the cabinet). From there, I moved to a Plush head and 2X 15” cab (big mistake)! Then I got in my first regularly gigging band and...

The VII combo is surely versatile for tone on each channel. It takes a bit of tweaking to get exactly the sound you want and the again when you change guitars (mainly from humbucker to single coil) but with a little tenacity, it can be done! When you finally find “that sound” you’ve been...

Just some thoughts that may help from messing with my Mark VII combo. I run a TC Quintessence into the front input with no problems (but that's where a harmonizer should be placed - not in the loop). I've got that, a wah, volume pedal MXR mini boost, compressor and gate all running into the...

I have the VII combo. To me, the Black Shadow speaker in the VII sounds way better than it did in the V combo and my VII speaker isn't even broken in yet. I got a V head and a 2X12" Vintage 30 cabinet about 4 years ago (which I sold to get the VII) and I thought that sounded best, but the VII...
