I used to have this problem but somehow it fixed itself. It might be the fact that I started to run Mark IV mode again instead of Extreme. In any event, play with it. You'll figure it out.

Maybe you play different music or something, but for me and my band I need Mark IV mode to have more low end.

I have had mine for 6+ months now and the longer I own it, the more I realize that it really is a collection of great amps. I used to think that it was a Boogie clean with a couple of different variations, a Mark I with a couple of variations, and a Mark IV with a couple of variations. That is...

Are the Port City 2x12's less directional than a standard closed back? Are they tight enough for percussive metal? How do the Oversized and Regular 2x12's compare?

I dont have a problem with this at all. The Output can be touchy but I dont think it's all or nothing.

Both are great amps. It depends on you if you want the Recto gain or the Mark gain. They DO have different cleans. The Roadking has Lonestar cleans and the Mark does not.

I wouldn't run my Mark V through a single V30. I'm not even totally comfortable when I run my V30 loaded 2x12 real hard.

Why? Are they easy to set up in comparison? I have a Mark V and I set it and forget it.

I'm not one to give people a hard time over wording but how does a Jazz III not provide enough "attack"? Wouldn't that pick provide the most attack???

I was about to pull the trigger on a Roadster when the new Dual Rectifier came out. The new Dual Recto has much better cleans than the old and to my ear has better high gain riffing than the Roadster. Unfortunately I cannot play both in my own band setting so I would be taking a leap of faith...

Thanks for the replys so far. I thought this thread would take off...

The guy with the Suhr has one...

I think you misunderstand why people DON'T like gloss necks. Satin and unfinished necks are much smoother to play and they dont bind up like gloss necks. I am one of the guys who DON'T like gloss necks. So I was wondering if the gloss they use is smooth like a satin neck.

If you dont play it loud then you definately haven't experienced all the amp has to offer. It is pretty amazing with the output close to noon.

I want the 10watt or 45watt setting to work for me on the CH1, but it does not. I need the open, full sound of 90 watts. The tube rectified 10/45 watt settings are supposed to sound more "vintage" or "saggy" or something but I just hear less balls and less volume.

I am looking at that same guitar but I am hesitant because of 2 things... 1. No arm contour. Does it have a sharp edge like a Les Paul??? That is a deal breaker for me. 2. Gloss neck. Does it bind up or play smooth? Any other input on the guitar would be great!

Tell us about what preamp tubes you chose, what sound you were looking for, and what kind of music you play...

Yeah, I was quite pleased after that hour of hard pounding (Mark V on almost full with lots of chunky chording). a) It wasnt new new. I had used that cab for a few jams already. b) I never said it was completely broken in, just noticably nicer sounding. Of course rather than defending...

I pulled the trigger on a DC127 with the C22B and C22J. I play mostly Prog Metal and need that Bridge Pup to be hot enough to do some serious riffing. I hope I made the right choice.
