I owned a Mark V. loved it. sold it like an idiot. now i want it again, but can't really afford it. I can however afford a used mark IV. What are the differences besides all the bells and whistles? i am only interested in the differences in tone. here is what ive gathered...
Clean mode on the V is the same as the clean on the IV
channel 2 on the V is leaps and bounds better than Channel 2 on the IV
The IV lead channel is slightly better than the "mk IV and extreme" modes on the V
So can someone elaborate on these differences? why is the 4 lead better than the 5?
I would like to have a good channel 2 for classic rock but i mainly live on the hi gain side. i dont really care about a good clean channel either.
much help would be appreciated because ive never played a IV and would have to buy it blind.
the mark IV mode on the V was my favorite, the rest was kind of nice but overkill. so this makes me think the IV is for me.
