New Mark V iHas Taken Over...

the roost.
Just brought back the head from the store and did the following...
Set it up with the following cabs: Bogner Cube with Celestion Classic 80, Mesa Thiele EVM 1-12", and an Avatar Premier 212 with Celestion Classic 80's. It took on different characteristics with all three, especially in all 3 power modes (and EQ both in & out). Then it morphed into another realm when EL-34's were put in.
A Zion Fifty with SC's and a PRS Custom 24 were used in this inaugural "taste test" with the reverb used sparingly.
Bottom line: with a Stiletto Ace combo (212), Stiletto Deuce head, Mark III combo and other males/models of amps...the "V" is remarkable in it's capability. And that's just on a first impression.

I wish I had all them speaker cabs. I used to be a sound tech at WGS speakers that played and tested all the speakers, and I know first had what different speakers can do for any amplifier. Some speakers make an amp sound totally different in good and some bad ways. I was wondering how your EVM 12" sounded alone with the V? Love them speakers.

I used the V and the Thiele 1-12" EVM in a small club, using the 45 watt setting on all 3 channels, with a H20 pedal for a touch of chorus/delay in the loop + a little reverb. Bottom line: it was sweet no matter what I did to it. I used the PRS 24 the whole night, and the clean setting on Channel 1 was warm & yet had presence. I used C-2 for a sweet sustain, and C-3 for a bit snarlier sound. It was really something, and I got many comps from folks.
