It seems scammy for sure but he did respond to my question about tubes with pics of TAD pre and power tubes next to the actual chassis so idk. The deal isn’t THAT good for me to risk a headache
I had both at the same time (Mark ivb long head) and preferred the vii, easier to dial in and the tone was also easier to fit in the mix. The older marks it’s always a small tweak away from the being perfect, but then that goes on forever 😂
Does shea make a 100w skeleton key? I am more partial to higher wattage heads almost always
But yeah this sounds like a reza typical tone. I am interested in the amp though seems cool
The mark VII is really great. Agree with Raf that it would be better if IIC+ and IV were switchable. It is almost the ultimate, I would have loved to see iib and iic+ on channel 2 and IV and VII mode (a whole different modern version not the one in the amp) on channel 3. Tone wise its awesome...
Eh, I liked Brent as a kooky character with a unique lead style but live he’s pretty trash. I’ve liked every Mastodon album and I’m interested to see how the new stuff sounds and especially interested in catching a live show again. He was a liability all the times I have seen them, mostly...
You could probably find a peavey ultra plus, xxx or 3120 in that range as well. I’m with everyone else even for bedroom I would go full power, peavey 6505+ or 3120
