How do you like the Mark V 10 Watt mode?

[SteveO]

I dont have much use for it. It's not like it makes it apartment volume. It's still defaningly loud.
.

Really? I can get mine to the point where it's barely audible.

And the amp sounds good?

It doesn't sound as good as it does when it's cranked up a bit more, but it still sounds pretty good at lower levels. I didn't like it at all with EL34s at low volumes, though.

It's a nice option... I use it sometimes. I'm glad we have it.

I find that if you have your channels set up for 'heavy' (particularly for channel 3) 10w works better at low volume settings. At high volume settings it really thins out the tone for some reason. Kind of makes you realize why most high gain heads are still 100w...

Yup...

Love 10W w/variac for at home, in garage practice.
Used it on one recording and mistakenly left it like that
for a couple practices

Hehe...I did. But like a dummy, I didn't put two and two
together until after practice.

Both times, I can remember not being able to cut through
the way I "normally" do. Go figure. I usually do band practice
in 45W. 90s too loud with an acoustic/mando player and a
weak wristed drummer :lol:
