Hi guys, I'm not sure if I'm even wording this right or what it's called, but having played crappy SS amps for so long, I'm used to a certain level of ease/effortless playing, wherein light, ultra-fast and accurate picking makes the notes just jump off the strings. With the Mark V: 25, even with the gain and treble dimed (and every increment below that), I feel like I have to work a bit harder (pick harder and fret harder) to play the same fast passages. My pickups are pretty hot (Air Norton and Tone Zone on one, Liquifire and CrunchLab on the other), cables are all good, tried all the tone settings in the manual and various others from el internet and demoed a different head in store before purchasing mine, with the same results. No doubt, the increased difficulty will make me a better, cleaner player, but screw that, heh. What pedal should I put in front of the head to give me that same ease of playing? Clean boost? Overdrive? Compressor?
Thanks for any and all info.
