Looking for the right Perplex'd. Whachya got?

Man, that color!

Tried these settings last night. Very interesting EQ setup that I wouldn't have thought to try. It actually worked for all the modes on Ch 3. Tight, fast tracking metal all the way.

Yeah I may try EL34. I have a few sets I can put in to see if they bias in the right range. If not I would probably get some JJ E34Ls rated for the Mark. I've always had good luck with those tubes and like the extended low end.

I had the Mark IV a while ago now. I'm finding the Mark V more organic and natural sounding...or at least its easier to get it there. I just dropped a quad of new JJ 6L6 in it and was playing at a pretty decent volume, maybe like low band practice volume and I am really enjoying this amp. There...

Weird, I'm having the exact opposite experience.

I gigged Quick Rods and also had a Super Comp. I loved from Splawn to a Helios 100, which I found absolutely perfect. I ran it as a single channel amp as that was what I needed for my hard rock band. Raw and aggressive, but had a bit more control of the top end and it didn't get as fatiguing as...

Awesome, I will try that. EQ is engaged?

Traded a TC-100 for a Mark V 90 Watt. I've got a lot of exploring and testing to do, but a first run through the channels in modes at low volume gives me the impression I'm going to love this thing. I had a Mark IV a while back and also have a 5:50+ Express. I've read a lot about the Mark V...

OP, I replied to this thread on TGP. I'll add here that the Mesa is way easier to use as a 3 channel amp. You can make all 3 channels work together with no problem. Definitely a bit harder on the XTC amps. When I had the 20th Anniversary EL34 XTC I often felt it was a bit congested and lacking...

I don't get why. Bogner is a US amp builder. Is BAD in Japan? Even if it is I don't understand why Bogner would want to release only in Japan first.

Lol. So true

So what is it? Single channel Blue?
