Unpacked the MV head at band rehearsal last night. Band mates are
very amp-wise (they use Bogner, Reinhardt, etc.) and it was well received.
I'm pretty picky about my setup, but I was able to get some great tones
happening within 5 minutes without much tweaking. LOVE Mark 1 thick setting.
Great heavy rhythm crunch. Some people have commented that this mode
is too dark. I was using a Custom PRS 24 with 2 Egnater Rebel 112X cabs
and it was awesome. 45 Watts. Think Barracuda tone with more bottom.
I've never played a IIc, so I can't compare that, but I've got a Mark IIb combo.
The IIc mode is very useable for heavy chord work, sits in the mix easier and
cuts through while still remaining articulate. Channel 1 Clean & Fat are awesome.
set at 90 Watts. IMO, much better cleans than either my Roadster or Stilleto heads.
Sounds like it has a touch of compression as well. With a VG strat, chan 1 sounded great
for crisp rhythm or jazz work.
Haven't had time to try IV mode or Extreme yet. Having too much fun with the others.
It's going to take while to explore everything.
Haven't tried it with my Recto or Roadster 2x12 cabs yet. No doubt it will be nice.
I'm extremely pleased with the amp. Right out of the box it sounds great!
Unless you're looking for a very specific sound, I think you'll be hard pressed
to find much this amp can't do!
