Hi all,
So, in comparing the V:90 to the VII I'm noticing the VII is a more "gainier" in IIC+ and IV modes than the V:90 is. Then I remember that my V:90 has an AT7 tube in the V4 position, so that may explain the gain difference (although CRUNCH seems a tad more gainy and brighter in the VII than the V:90). (At least, I think the AT7 is still in my V:90.... I don't remember ever removing it
).
So, I got to thinking... is there an equivalent AT7 mod for the VII to bring down the bite a bit? Looking in the Mark V:90 manual tube task chart it shows that CH3 has six gain stages and the Mark VII manual shows only five gain stages for IIC and IV modes.
Anyway, the Mark VII manual tube task chart only lists five gain stages for IIC and IV modes.
Questions:
1) How can the "same" modes in V:90 and VII have a different number of gain stages?
2) In the VII, where should an AT7 be placed to achieve the same (similar) thing as the "AT7 V4 mod in the V:90"? I'm thinking also V4 based on it being 4th gain stage for IIC and IV modes (V4 in the Mark V is also 4th gain stage).
At any rate, I'll have to give it a whirl to see what it sounds like.
If you guys have any thoughts I'd be interested in hearing them!
