I had posted that I was going to be doing a dinner job and trying out the 10W setting on all the channels. First here is my setup. Mark V with two 2x12 Mesa cabs. Effects loop runs to a couple of Carbon Copy pedals and then a Boss CE2 stereo Chorus. I send one side of the chorus back to the Mark V and to one of the 2x12 cabs. Then the other side of the chorus to a 150 watt Yamaha power amp and to the other 2x12 cab. My personal opinion, my chorus pedal sounds clearer if it is run in true stereo. To me the chorus sounds mushy if I use it in mono.
I adjusted the amp for extremely low volume levels. As low as it was they asked us to turn down even more. We were whisper quiet, well we were turned down lower than I had ever played. Everything went well with the 10W setting on all channels and my guitar sounded very nice. The cleans were awesome as usual, nice and big but even in the 10W setting the drive channels worked very well. No amp guitar interaction but it worked very well at the very low setting.
The place we played didn't advertise so it wasn't packed. We were contracted to play 3 hours. We ended up playing for 3.5 hours. This was an outdoors patio job at a restaurant. Here is the cool part, nobody left. People were eating dinner when we got there. We setup and they didn't leave until we were done.
So I'm going to explore more into the 10W setting.
