Got me a PRS Archon yesterday from nothingeined. Great transaction and a great seller by the way.
Interesting amp (in a good way). I've only had about 30-40 minutes with it, so I'm still finding different tones. But the first impression is as follows:
1-Total sleeper amp - Built like a brick...
I never get these artist auctions. What proof do we have that it's Sambora's SLO? There's NOTHING unique about it. What's missing? Meh, whatever. Sambora is ghey anyway.
They have less effect on the sound depending on how much of the previous control is dialed in. So if you dial back the treble, the mids will have a greater impact. Yes... It's fucky... But there's endless tweaking, if you're into that sort of thing. Just that crunch channel alone.. I spend days...
Yes... HAHAHA!
Close your eyes and start from the gain and work your way towards the EQ. No joke Ola had a video where he ran gain and treble on 10 and mids and bass on 0 with Graphic EQ engaged and it sounds evil as fuck. Who would think to dial an amp in like that? Not me!
I would tend to agree...
Also, there are tons of great demo videos with settings for Mini Mark. Check them out. I had trouble dialing it in when I first got it. Shredder and I dubbed it the "Box of Fuck!" because it was hard to dial in with your eyes
I can vouch that the Mesa DOES in fact sound very good at low volumes. In fact, I'd say it sounds its best at low volumes.
It covers A LOT of ground. I made 53 profiles of that thing LOL :D
Well the MKV25 is incredibly versatile. But it's real easy to make it sound awful. If you love tweaking, go with that. THere's some killer tones in there.
