Done a few gigs now with my new CS356 (stock), Strat (EMG) and the MK V combo.
The 356 guitar does not seem to drive the MK V, the clean sound is just flat & lifeless. The chan 2 is also very weak & thin, when in crunch it also sounds like I have a compressor on full (I don't). Chan 3 well - it's just not worth using as it is (like chan 2) thin, shrill fizzy mess.
Plugged my 356 into another amp (cheap one) sounded fantastic.
I use mainly my strat with the boogie and find that I have to use pedals - such as the Xotic AC (I did try to get the Xotic AC sound out of the amp but could not get anywhere near it's warm fat tone), so I have to use pedals in chan 1.
I'm really struggling with my MK V at the moment as I am trying to justify the price I paid (£3500, it's the exotic wood etc)!
If anyone can help please please please do, because at the momen I feel like iv just bought £3500 worth of ****... Worst guitar sound iv ever had
