I have been looking for a more versatile amp for my covers band mainly playing in pubs in Lincolnshire UK. We play anything from Bowie through classic rock, Kings of Leon, Black Keys, Foo Fighters ,Biffy Clyro etc.
I've been playing a Marshall DSL 50 and Cornford MK50 mk2 but find them limiting and can't get the Cornford cranked up enough for a fluid and touch responsive tone. I had tried a Mark V previously but found it uninspiring so went to try out Mark V 25.
I was really pleased with tones from Mark V 25 and thought I would try the Mark V as I like to have all the bells and whistles - I was blown away this time I cranked the master volume and reduced channel volumes , played between 10 and 45W modes with variac power and was able to get some fantastic saggy touch responsive tones perfect for tweedy and classic rock tones. The solo tones on Mark 1 were fat and cutting.
I think this is my ultimate amp and with permission from my better half will be pulling the trigger and ordering one!
Hopefully joining you all soon!
