Can't Find a decent tone in MK II C+ mode

[sprada]

I can't seem to find a decent tone in this mode. I like the saturated tone of the MK IV and the Extreme mode.
MK II seems always so harsh, so not dinamic and with lesser gain.
I'm using a Telecaster with a Seymor Duncan HH hot rails Bridge.
Volume is not an issue. I practice with other amps. I want to sound good LOUD.
I must be doing something wrong.

Full Power/90W
Output 11
Gain 3º clock
Master 10/11o clock
Presence 10º clock
Treble 2º clock
Mid 10º clock
Bass 9/10º clock

EQ on Sliders Agressive V shape.

I'm getting a litlle bit frustated with this.
Need some Help

If you find it harsh, consider (seriously) swapping the 6L6s for a good set of EL34s. These have a smoother top end and eliminate harshness. I just did this, and now I like the IIC+ mode.

It sounds like you think you should like the Mark IIC+ mode, but don't. There is nothing wrong with that. The IIC+ mode is lower in gain, and has more clarity (I could see where it would seem "harsher" than the IV mode).

try more mids, say 12-1 o'clock and cut the 6600 slider..

It seems like everyone was super-excited about the Mark IIC+ mode, but when I got my Mark V, I was most looking forward to the Mark IV mode. And that's still the mode I use, though now that I've got JJ EL34s in the amp, I'm liking IIC+ more.

so far i am liking ch3 mk4 and ch2 MKI the most.the extreme mode is also pretty killer.
I like MK2c too but only boosted so far.

I am going to do Atlanta Music Store cruise this morning. Will be looking for some JJ EL34's...... Sounds like mojo in them globes...
