Triple for me, then SLO and the 2B. But, having heard other clips of this Mark it does sound like it’s dialed a little differently; maybe the 750 is pushed up more than usual.

Interesting how much love for the SLO. That amp had amazing tone & feel, but we all felt that even with a boost it was still too loose in the ass for what we're playing.

In the first clip I was using the Empress ParaEQ in the loop. Here's another show using the same IIB+ Coli, using the onboard GEQ instead. Overall, in the room, the sound guy & I agree that the Coli just slaughters! I think it's pretty interesting the reaction here against it. Just goes to show you that a) recording does not equal live tone and b) everyone absolutely has different taste!

A phone recording in a loud room doesn’t do any amp justice. Especially when it comes to the girth and rawness of the Coli.

Recto sounds too dark, Mark sounds the cleanest, but you don't sound your best through it. SLO is a little dark, but sounds more full and bigger and fills the room more. Maybe try the Mark and SLO in stereo?
