I got some questions no-one has asked before that I've seen.
ok ...I'm a 5:50 owner and the Mark V is my dream amp.
I've tested one out at a local store several times and am gasing bad for one.
But they're over $5000 in Australia so I got a lot of pennys to save first :mrgreen:
With the 5:50 I use the 5w setting for home use, recording and it's also perfect for small venue gigs with low volume duo acts n such. On the 5:50 the 5w setting is still pretty loud when you crank the gain and it's quite a different voice to the 50w setting. On the 5:50 the 5w setting is smooth class A more british flavoured and 50w is massive Mesa.
So that brings me to the 10w setting on the Mark V.
How does it suit for home use volumes and small gig settings ??
Is it too loud to crank the gain dial in these situations or is it just right?
Plus - is there a significant difference in tones between the 10w, 45w and 90w settings (all other things being equal) or are they mainly louder versions of each other ??
