I bought a 100w MC1 a few years ago and really liked it. Always fancied a MC2 since I'm quite curious about what the contour control does. Having a master volume on channel 1 sounds useful too.
Got the chance to pick up this 2020 MC2 50 watter. Channel 1 is definitely a lot more usable than the MC1 with the addition of master and bright controls. Channel 2 sounds somewhat less raw to me than the MC1.
I only like the final 20% range of the contour control (where it sounds closer to the MC1) so it's a bit useless to me. The loop level controls are quite useful for fine tuning the overall volume since the master volume is a bit touchy on the lower range.
Overall I guess I'm happy enough with the purchase so I can have a Wizard in the studio at work and another one at home. But if I have to let one go the MC2 will likely to go first.
