What do you think?
What do you think?
Simply put: Yes! I would not have the output tube sockets on the main PCB just due to the heat breaking down the fiberglass and components. Sound's like at least 3K for a re-issue that is even close to the same spec and components.What do you think?
Considering Mesa brought back the compact Mark combo size, no reason they cannot stuff the JP2C chassis into that combo shell. It will fit. If they do it right, and choose a better speaker that can hold up better than the MC90, EVM front baffle mounted will fit, rear baffle mounted is a no go.I feel like the JP2C is the reissue we're going to get. I mean, maybe not, I could be wrong, Gibson being who they are, cashing in on their legacy at every chance they get, I could see them doing an official reissue, w/o JPs name attrached, but I feel like that would kill sales of the JP2C. Either way, I have my Mark 3, JP2C, and Mark 7, which all sound fantastic, and honestly, I feel like the Mark VII improves on my OG Mark 3, it's that good, I don't find it sterile or lacking.
Careful, you'll cause Mark III prices to skyrocket!! Seriously though I like the III better as well, sounds super crushing, slightly more aggressive than the regular IIC+ modes I've played, or the JP2CI actually like my Mark III Blue stripe better than the 2C+ I had, more touch responsive and definitely more usable and non-crushing gain levels.
I'd love to see them do aomwrh

I like my 2001 Viper GTS with the V-10 and T-56 manual and can't even imagine it with a turbo 4-cyl, even if it was faster. It's the principality of the matter. LOL Ever hear the phrase "You can't compete with a ghost" HmmmmThe notion that the sound is in unique special components that aren't made anymore is bogus. Or another word with the letters B and S in it.
Caps? Orange drops. Still made today by CDE. Resistors? Same Vishay resistors made in '78 are still made today.
Anybody who wants a Mark II or III reissue doesn't have a problem with the control and pull switch layout.
Build what the customers want built. They know what they want.
Some people LIKE their cars to have manual transmissions and no computer.
They changed it to electric and it runs on two D cell batteries. No more V10 as that engine was ditched in favor of the electric light bulb. EV suck and not the speaker.I like my 2001 Viper GTS with the V-10 and T-56 manual and can't even imagine it with a turbo 4-cyl, even if it was faster. It's the principality of the matter.

feel the sameIf sound is all we are going for then you don't need an amp. Put the signal in a box since "everyone" has gravitated that way. Signal in, any modeller out.
I have a red stripe DRG I've never bonded with. No magic. I've got every Mark up to the IV-A except the green which I've had. I'll take your blind shootout challenge between a Mark II and Mark V of any power section and put real money on it just as quick as I would sit down to a game of poker with you. Straight up not into any box.
Each amp I plug into inspires me to go down different paths and songs are selected by my fingers interacting with my brain, sometimes mood. Sound plays into the overall feel but it is a multi-sense experience on the guitar end of the signal chain. Post production recordings aren't apples to apples and at concerts I expect the magic to come from fingers thru a signal chain that inspires the player, not the listener. I'll take energy and emotion over tone and flawless reproduction.
The more I feel the music I'm playing the more I can lose myself in it and "take character" of the role in the song. A magic wand is not magic sitting on a shelf or in the hand of someone that does not feel it.
No hurt feelings here. This was a fun exchange since all this banter won't stop Gibson from doing several reissues of "their" flagship amp for reissues.feel the same
wasnt aimed at u
Yea compressed for sure, but the V:90 didn't wipe out the magic for me... it just enhanced the Mesa Mark experience.the compression and orderly conduct washed out the Mark magic for me.
To me this is the key- what inspires the player. A 120W Peavey tube amp did it for me for many years.Yea compressed for sure, but the V:90 didn't wipe out the magic for me... it just enhanced the Mesa Mark experience.
But then I'm an outlier... I love the Stiletto
nice... for a long while the III GAS was pretty bad... wanted to experience that integrated GEQ. The III's I played to my ears were indeed very similar sounding to the IIC+. Then the III prices jumped and other GAS took over, but the III GAS still lingersI have 6 of the mark series amps, Green stripe, Red stripe, Blue Stripe and a a IIC+ and a black dot mark III..
No doubt!!To me this is the key- what inspires the player.
yea.. very true.I assume all the people expecting it to be something it wasn't have long ago ditched them. I love my duece thru recto trads it was designed to feed and the paired gain is amazing if you take it for what it is.
Was it the VTM120? Wish I still had mine.To me this is the key- what inspires the player. A 120W Peavey tube amp did it for me for many years.
I haven't tried the VTM- it sounds like it must have been a good one. The bandit seems like a good candidate to play around with modding.Was it the VTM120? Wish I still had mine.

I used to play one of those in the late 80's and loved it until it was ruined by my lead singer who decided to put his beer on the top of the amp while playing through it, then accidentally knocked it over, where it spilled through the vent on the top of the head.Was it the VTM120? Wish I still had mine.
