A band with two awesome amps... sweet. Any time I've been in a band with another guitarist, they've usually had crappy amps. They would keep buying and selling, looking for a good tone. I told them that they're spending more in the long run, just spend the money up front and buy something high quality. One guy eventually bought a Quad preamp and that was awesome. I used to have a Mark IV and got in a band where the other guitarist also had a Mark IV, that was probably the best sounding band I was in, the band wasn't really very good, but boy did we have a great sound, haha.

We all have our opinion and that's all right but i have to say that I don't agree with you guys saying that you only have to tweek the different revisions to make them sound almost alike. You are right that you can approach the tone of one another but i find that each revison has its own distortion/tone characteristics. The older the brighter/thighter and also much meaner/brutal metal tone keeping the amp "cleaner" at lower gain and EQ settings. I cannot achieve the same brutal metal tone with revision G's gain at 3 o'clock compared to what i get when D's gain is at noon, turning up the gain or EQ knobs on G will never make it as brutal and tight as C and although they sound much more alike, i find it to be the same when i compare C and D. My opinion is that there are characteristics between revisions you cannot get or take away just by tweeking the knobs.
