..or it was a choice because it couldn't fit without being obscured by the knob..

Guys...It's got the same front panel as the Mark V and it's several inches smaller. Are we really bitching about silk screening? The JP-2C had to have the FX loop redone after the first 100 or so units. Was that Gibson's fault too? It's a new product. If they can fit a little + on there and...

That's the JP-2C.

$3,499

Axe FX if you're comfortable with computers. Really easy to do stuff in the editor and you don't have to adjust the advanced settings. The only advanced setting I sometimes tweak is the high treble. I didn't like the Kemper really. Lots of stuff sounded the same because it was recorded through...

That's a good point. I would think an earlier version because it gives more variety, and if that amp setup is real then it gives a logical flow. Clean, Crunch, Lead. But...no clue haha

Mark IIB makes sense to me because it's essentially like the Mark I mode on the V. A looser, smoother lead sound that you wouldn't use for rhythm. I hear you on the IIC+ mode. They also have an entire amp based on the IIC+ now though, so we'll see. I love that channel layout though. Clean...

"Ch. 1 = Clean, Fat, or Crunch Ch. 2 = Fat, Crunch, or Mark VII™ Ch. 3 = Mark IIB™, Mark IIC+™, or Mark IV™" Midi included. Mark VII mode is modern high gain Source: not me, someone who claims to have one in stock.

That's what @stephen sawall said a while back. That the VI was a prototype that went to a handful of artists. I couldn't tell if he was joking or not lol. He did "leak" the Cali Tweed and Fillmore amps a while before they came out, saying that Mesa's next amps were going to be simple non-metal...

I tell more of a story with no notes

I got a KSR Juno when I was looking for exactly what you're describing. I'm very much a Mesa guy though, so I'm not overly critical on the Marshall/80's metal tones. I think it does them well, but a little more scooped and meaner sounding. You can always hear the metal-ness in it if that makes...

IMO people looking into Revv are chasing a modern metal tone. I think the 5153 Stealth does that with more character and for a lot less money, and the same for the old ENGL Savage if you can find one at a good price. The new Savage is expensive, and you don't really get any value from the extra...

Revv sounds like ENGL making a 5153. Sounds fine, but it's boring and synthetic sounding/feeling. Not what you want from an amp that expensive IMO. For most people interested in Revv I would probably suggest a 5153 or an original Savage.

I've done it. Walked into my GC one night before closing and bought an early-mid 90's ESP Custom Mirage Deluxe. $200. I was getting that thing out of the store ASAP before anyone realized that it wasn't a cheap LTD.

Sold all of the ones I've owned. They always sound killer when I first plug into them, and 6 months later I just can't do it anymore. Definitely like them, but always find them lacking something compared to certain other amps.

My only non 5 star feedback was from a guy who didn't know what direct mount pickups were. I put direct mount in the title and in the description, and got 3 stars because the guy just had no clue what he was buying. Never even messaged me to say "what's direct mount?" People like that are why...

I owned a VH2 briefly. Picked up a used one at guitar center and returned it after about 2 weeks. Way too much money for a simple 2 channel amp. I've borrowed a buddy's VH4 before and Channel 3 was my least favorite channel on the amp. The clean was great, Channel 4 was an excellent lead sound...

My local Sam Ash has been dying for years now. It's in the same shopping center as a GC. They used to try to keep up with GC, but it stopped several years back. The GC was dead during 2020-2021 obviously, but is back to having a ton of stuff in stock. The Sam Ash not so much.

I set stuff up for what I want to play at that time and leave it until I want to play something else. If you only play one thing then you only need one sound. I had a Mark V and outside of fine tuning for guitar changes I basically never touched the controls unless I wanted to do something...

I liked the Pro-Stock better than the Quick Rod as well. The KT-88 QR is killer though. The clean channel is a lot nicer with the KT-88s too.
