New Amp Syndrome! Just got my Mark V and a Recto 2x12 Vertical Slant over the weekend. Everything sounds fresh and different as compared to my old TSL602! Hopefully the honeymoon will last a long time. The Strats sound amazing with this amp, so much more articulation than the Marshall, at least, that is the way it sounds to me. It's so easy to disappear down a rabbit hole tweaking this thing. Sooo many sounds to explore - need to spend more time actually playing!
Questions:
1) The cab says 8ohm on the back. Based on what I have read, this means there are two 16 ohm v30's in there and I should connect the cab to the 8ohm jack on the MV?? I have always played combos and never really had to deal with this before.
2) Edge mode - what is this patterned after? Turning the gain down gets a really interesting clean sound....almost Vox'ish? Dunno, but there is something intriguing in there if you spend some time.
High gain is where I have the least experience dialing in, but I was able to get a close approximation of some Foo Fighter sounds after just a few minutes tweaking. Like most good amps, this thing doesn't really begin to show it's true personality until you apply some volume to it.
