So after some time with my Mark IIC+

[metalmarlon]

It is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ended up using it for the last show we played. We rolled out with full stacks on each side and an Ampeg 8x10. Best sounding show we have had so far.

I practiced the other night and used my JCM800 (what I was using) to see if the MKII was just a "honeymoon". But the JCM800 just sounded thin and shrill in comparison.

There are some things I still like about my JCM800, like how if you play big chords, it opens up and become really clear and bright. But it just does not carry the wight that the MKII does.

I really need to take it in and get those pins replaced so I can get some EL34s in the outer spots.

Well... that's all I really needed to say.

That is great.

I dont hate you for owning it :wink: , you seem like a cool dude that really apriciates the fact that you have somthing special, and rare.

The c+ is a special amp end of story, and yours is uber special , mine should sound idendical to yours, and my god it growls and sounds awsome when i crank it up, mine have been everything i hoped for and I expected to be blown away, and i was, and still is. :wink:

Like writing a new classic metal album like master of puppets ?

BTW james only tracked rythem guitars with the 800jcm`sand c+ combined on one song on that album, the had 9 marshall cabs stacked when the recorded it, ,most have sounded intense :shock:

I have the same voltage amp as him , it sounds more like master of puppets then and justice for all and black to me,so maybe the jcm800 shade is not need for that sound, :twisted: but what the hell should be interresting

Do you mean play together/ use at the same time with and A/B/Y switch?

I think so. I have always been teased by running a stereo rig. Believe me!!! And I would if I was the only guitarist. But man, set up/tear down would be a pain. And do I ask the sound guy for 2 mics for just my rig alown? Hell NO!!!! his job is hard enough already (and I don't want to piss off the guy that is doing my sound).

I'm not going to do it becuase I don't want to know what "could" be. LOL!!!
