Start small and grow into it

The full Mark V head that is......arriving tomorrow from Sweetwater. Can't wait. Got the V:25 earlier this year and was finally able to get the tone in my head out of my 412. So after tomorrow I'll have another channel, a few more modes, and more power and flexibility. The V25 has assumed it's new position next to the recording interface on the desk. I may add a closed widebody 112 after the holidays for grab and go, but for now I'm quite good with the Traditional 412 with the V30's.

RS is a genius. The Mark V25 is a gateway drug.

I've been thinking about a big V also. Congrats on a killer amp! Let us know how you like the stuff that we're missing. I'm thinking I'd love the Mark one and probably a couple other features.

Got the head today and had a hard time getting any work done. One of the perks of being in IT is that I work from home the majority of the time. Anyway, I cannot say enough about this head. The thing is built like a tank, it's whisper quiet, the reverb is just fantastic, and that Edge mode just floored me. Instant early Angus/Malcom tones that had me revisiting the High Voltage and Powerage riffs for hours. I really believe this will be the last head I buy.

Anyone want to buy my JVM? I'm not sure I will be using it much any more. :lol:

Congrats on the new addition.

Are you sure you want to sell the Marshall? I enjoy going back and forth for the different tones.

On the fence. I do have a Decibel 11 Split Personality amp switcher on my board, and it's a massive wall of tone with both amps running in crunch mode at the same time. My "M&M" stereo half stacks.
