R2 is one of the best "crunch" tones I've ever played with and it has the BEST lead character of ANY crunch tone I've used.
The other guitar player in my band has a JCM 800 and it sounds like a cow taking crap compared to R2 on my Mark IV. It cuts through the mix like butter without being ice picky on the ears. I'm not even including that you can kick in the EQ for the most over-the-top crunch tone EVER. I only do this when I need a nice boost (For example, doing the intro of "highway to hell" by ACDC). It really gives you the exta zing you need to go over the top when necessary.
Then you have R1 and Lead - The Mark IV is the best amp I've ever owned by far... It totally wastes every other amp.
