The combo roared more for sure. It was every bit as loud and tight as the 2x12 closed back. It had slightly more mid-range emphasis and I can see how that could be described as boxy. But I didn't hate it!
The Mark VII Head that SGTThump brought to the STLouis ampfest was pretty damn impresssive and I'm not a fan of Mesa Boogie Mark amps having owned MKIIIC+ modded one in the past.
 
Yes, I pulled all the relevant dials haha. Also, it wasn't an HRG. It sounded about the same as the actual IIC+ I played and that one also wasn't anywhere near modern metal tones. And before I even plugged it in, the guys at the shop also said I probably wouldn't like it based on what I was playing on the VII and JP. They said it wouldn't have enough gain or aggression for my needs and they were right.
They’re inherently smooth but should have all the gain anyone could ever use
