Restless Rocks said:As said I agree the tonal differences are subtle yet still noticable. I prefer the A mainly for one big reason: V3 and V4 are not shared for lead and reverb as on the B and so I can use what ever tube I want for my personal preferences on the lead channel without affecting the reverb. I can also do the same for the reverb using a good bright vintage 12AT7 that would sound fizzy on the lead channel. I've also never had any use for the satellite send and stereo loop hardware on the B whereas the A allows me to set up two seperate loops. I'm a long time MkIII player and the A maintains a little more of that character which I'm so used to. That said I've got nothing against the B and wouldn't mind if I had a couple sitting around the house. The greatest most versatile amps ever built. My .02 cents anyway.
thats weird.....JimAnsell said:also when you footswitch between channels, they sort of fade into each other, instead of in instant switching like on later mark IV's.
