Unbelievable. I sold my JVM as a result. I had basically settled on Mark IV mode with all my home tweaking and it did sound good Saturday at rehearsal and sat great in the mix, out of curiosity I tried Extreme Mode and got some awesome chunk and low end punch. I stayed on that for the rest of rehearsal.
One cool thing I was relieved about was I thought I would have to do a lot of tweaking to get it to sound good at such high volumes. This is really where I found the sliders to be of supreme help. I just upped the middle slider up to just below the center line, and brought the high slider down a bit and the amp cut through, still had punch and still had sparkle and I was able to leave my dials totally alone. Coming from a Marshall, that's one thing I was worried about, having to make tweaks mid stream and then screwing everything up, but it was very easy to use.
That and the solo boost is a Godsend!
