I have a Mark V 90W, a Kemper and a FM3. I used to have the AXE III. Save yourself a ton of money and just get the FM3. Honestly though the Kemper sounds better but the FM3 can get you just about any tone you want and the effects are stellar.
Well my clothes washer just shit the bed and flooded my laundry room. No amp for me for awhile... Just my luck! Thanks for the replies. Dual Multi-Watt looks like what I may hold out for, once I get some money. :(
I have a 50W 5153 and a 90W Mark V and am considering a Dual/Triple Rec Multi-Watt or a Badlander 100. The rectifier sounds more like what I would want but, and I hate to admit it, that Badlander 100 is growing on me.
I worry that the rectifier might to be too flubby and scooped but boosted it...
Just another reminder of his passing. EVH Fender will still release new gear but it's not going to be the same for me somehow. That amp and cab look very interesting though.
Crunch mode on the V with a SD-1 or other similar boost will drive that Mark into a Marshall type tone. I have the 90W Mark V and with a SD-1 on the Crunch channel with the 5 band you can get some pretty kick ass Marshallish gain. However only a Marshall circuit is going to get you there 100%...
Gotta try things out and see what you like and don't, simple as that. Expensive experiments ;) I downloaded the file off of YT and threw it into Reaper with Helix Native to try some delay and reverb for fun. Sounded great but I can tell it's not what you are going for. Enjoy the amp!
