It works well with the Mark V as mine is very bright to start with. Even with the 12AT7 in V4 it has been difficult to remedy. Thought the Celestion Red Back or the Crème Alnico 90W as a fix but the OTR just has some balls to it. Sort of similar to the EV but not as bright also with the midrange improvement the OTR fits the Mark V quite well. I bought the other speaker to run with the JP-2C which was not all that bad, a bit dark in character but with the Mark V it sounds great. The way I see it, the Mesa Vertical 212 loaded with V30 is to the JP-2C as the OTR speaker is to the Mark V. Throw in some bright 12AX7 tubes and a 12AT7 into V4 and H.S. this speaker works with the V. Note that it is a dark toned speaker or has more roll off on the higher frequencies which helps the Mark V more than I expected. The amp still sounds a bit thin with the V30 but definitely much thicker with the OTR. the speaker is not as dark as it was out of box, or in the recording that I posted in the Mark amp forum.
I will see what I can do in a week or so when I can find some time. Will probably have to delete something in my account to add another recording. I am planning on using the Mark V in a project along with the JP-2C but have not formulated a plan at the moment. That may take a bit longer as I will have to figure out what to play on the drums and bass to go with it. Was also considering adding the Roadster too.
