Was there somebody famous and/or accomplished that endorsed the C+ as the "endeared one"?
I ask because it seems the only way I could believe this is to rely on folks that play guitar and listen to amps all the time. Guys that record alot, play live alot strive to achieve the richest tone they can...
I've been listening to alot of amps lately and it seems so subjective to say that the C+ is the Holy Grail. I just listened to the Mark V C+ mode and then a true C+ back to back and there was a difference. I describe the C+ as "organic", more "french fried" than the Mark V's version. However I liked the Mark V's C+ mode as well as the other channels as well.
There was a bit more noise in the circuit of the true C+ as well presumably due to it's aged circuitry - this of course when the player wasn't playing. Noise was not an issue when the guitar was playing. I found that in listening to the two amps that the player made each amp sound incredible in it's own right.
So is the C+ just great because it is "vintage"? Or does it produce a tone so singular and unique that it can last for the ages?
