I must say I am tempted Its a second chance ( never should have sold my MKIIC+ Simu long ago-->but MKIII should have been better-wasnt just more vesatile) you rarely get What tempts me is backview! Curious?? I believe the true MK IIC+ sound,that liquidity on lead,that pick responsiveness (...

Mark V will cut through better then 2203 as you can EQ it far better.To me you can get all rock/metal sound you ever want to use. Some say that it hasnt enough gain for Brutalz.I doubt that-with all respect-we talk about noise then.Not harmonics.The only amp with more gain I ever tried was...

I cannot comment on Kemper,but on Fractals Axe And i am one of that famous ididots which had time ago an Mark IIC+ and sold it for a fully necessary colliseum head I can say that the Axe ,especially now when Cliff got a non EQ CII+ and digitalized it ,it sounds better then my CII+ on Mark V.No...

YES THIS Roland

+ 2 Usually hold out 12 month of once or twice a week playing On all guitars except my LP-->I suppose its a LP thing with that angled exit of strings after the nut to the tuner.My PRS doesnt do that and all have 10-46 Roland

I can only add that I will never split with my Mark V as long as I play ( now + 35 years in TTL 18 years Mark's) As i have many amps and guitars,still it stands out only tiny room to deserve is better mk IIC+ mode***.Overall 97% happy Roland *** 3 %-->I know,Iknow.There are not two IIC*'s...

I have my flamesuit on !! I live in both world-I even made with an Fractal Ultra a blindtest with a real Mark IV -->1 day of tweaking and playing both through the Mark IV speaker(Blackshadow)-->and the tubelover guitarist friend could not distinguish,in fact found 4 times the Mark IV what was...

+ 2 Roland

I am 56 and have 35 years on (on/off) playing You are right,but overher in europe you play rarely at bars more often at weddings,School parties,churches.Not that it matters But from time to time an old fellow shows up ahd says that was great you nailed it ,and more pecioius and more rare a...

Hmm Oldtelecaster you are right to certain point The only BUT is ,if you are cover player you at least have to move to the ballpark-although no sense in play note by note. And then you have to somewhat adapt your playing ( and some gear*) in that direction Now I know that everybody plays...

hope that helps Roland

Totally and fully agree After all its the Mark V forum and not the Fender Dual Reverb one( with all respect to it played it LONG).Best gain comes from in the Mark-therefore it was invented-->unless you are only in Brutalzz Roland

Very true-just not all pickups,depending on the cap values does that I am also past front pedals.If I really need effects I use the Axe FX with the Mk.V And I have to EQ differently as I use a old well broken in EVM 12 L in an oak cabinet (Thiele).The oak boost top end a bit For me ( apart...

I had a Fender Jaguar (MIJ) with Dragster Pickups-->Mark V hated them you could do whatever you wanted-->harsh trebbyl ( a HB !!).Sold the guitar I like articulate defined sound,rather then an undifined sound (noise) cloud and think that the low output pickups do that better with a Mark V ( its...

as long as your electric grounding is really decent a Mark V is really low noise (even in CH3 extreme with gain and presence up) if not you get 50-60 hz hum easily ( but no white noise) It is much more quiet then my JVM 410 or the Carvin V3 Its also a bit more quiet ( a tad) then my mini recto...
