After almost a year of tweaking my Blue Stripe, and being dissatisfied with it's fizzly, thin tone, I FOUND IT.
I am so confident that this is the best tone I've ever gotten out of the Mark III, I say it even gives IIC+ owners a run for their money. It is aptly named "The Cream," on the settings editor, because, it just is. Crunch tones on the lead channel sound like butter, not the typical ice pick highs, and thin lows. I really based it off of John Petrucci's tone on Systematic Chaos: Aggressive, yet smooth, tight, yet surprisingly harmonic, and extremely touch sensitive. Softer picking gets you a really cool sound like a Dumble, harder picking gets you sustain and overtones like only a C+ could deliver. I'll post a video as soon as I can, because it is a heavenly sound. Keep in mind that my Mark III is an un-modded DRG with an EVM, and in bad need of a cap job (major ghost notes when soloing).
I know, bragging, but it just made owning this amp worthwhile. I finally found what a Mark should sound like, and it is beautiful.
Settings: Notice how low Volume 1 and Treble are. Also, no Bass shift or Deep are engaged That's the secret! :twisted:
Just try it out. You'll see what I mean.
