Why would you get rid of a Mark IV for a Mark V?? Just for the crunch tones? Cause I think the IV's lead channel is much better.

For simplicity and versatility. I agree with you that the Mark IV lead is better than the Mark IV mode on the Mark V, but the Mark V is still really good. I don't know if I'd actually do it, just something I've thought about.

Mark V:25 + 2x 1x12 Thiele cabs.

@jeff5 I totally get possibly swapping a Mark IV for a Mark V, if the Crunch mode is as good as it is on its little brother. I couldn't gel with the IV's Rhythm 2 crunch tone. Loved the clean and lead channels, but R2...meh.

How do you like the studio pre compared to the Triaxis. I used to own a Studio Pre but prefer the Mark IV

I used to have a Mark IIC+ that I converted from a combo to a dark red Boogie headshell and sold 20 years or so ago on eBay. Wished I could traack that one down…
Owned/Sold:
Mark IV
Mark IIC+
Triaxis x 2
2:90
Would like to have a Tremoverb one day; have played a ton of them but never owned one.
The VTwin rack is really cool—don’t see a lot of those. I like how you can blend the clean and dirty channels on those

I have a 2 channel dual rectifier - serial number R0063, a 22 caliber + combo, and a 2/90 power amp. Owned, and used a mark 4 along with a classic metal grille 4x12 cab for well over a decade.
