Welcome all new owners. I’ve had mine for about a month. I’ve never owned a Mark series amp but this one can get a really mean tone if you want it and it’s much more than a “Metallica” amp.

Congrats. Marks are really fun amps to play. There's a nice feel to them under the fingers and they have tons of gain and smooth distortion.

Master 1 at 10? lol I don't know if it's just me but it sounds too dark / maybe the presence could have been set up higher or sth.

You know, I've never played a C+ or any of the earlier Marks, but I always keep my presence on my IV at about 2.5 or 3. This is for bedroom playing though. Playing live, you might want it up higher to cut through. Master 1 at 10 seems odd -- I would never do that with my IV.

I remember my 2C+s really came alive with the Presence set at 5. Of course it depends on the rest of the rig and eq settings but I don't know... Also, here it sounds too noisy in some cases. Could be the extreme settings but hell my old ++ would breathe fire with the vol 1 9 + gain at 4.
 
I am surprised by the fact that except Pete Thorn's video and the official one from Mesa, there aren't much clips available out there.

The good thing is that it made me played my IIC+ RI last evening and the amp still puts a huge smile on my face.

Guess those are the only guys they chose to get theirs early for demoing.
 
Got mine yesterday!!! Mesa kicked dick with this one!! Tight, articulate, super fast pick attacks a pure pleasure to play!!

Does is sound better than my OG C+’s and ++…
No!! But close enough that someone who doesnt have a closet full of Mesa heads (Don’t look at me!!) would be completely blown away by!!

One can only hope the the JP2C 10 anniversary next year release will be as great!! (You know that Mesa,Gibson and JP won’t let an anniversary release slip past!!) 🤘😛🎸

For Metal players the ++ is a win win!!

Okay the C+ RI should get a thumbs up too!!

Even for the IIC+ reissue some of the preview reviews didn't come out until a day or week later.any others are just now allowed to receive theirs.

Which would you prefer if you had to pick one, + or ++?

C++ all the way!! You can up the gain and treble to match the C++ but the C++ is more responsive!! It’s crazy!! Noticeable difference from the C+ RI.
Not sure if it’s just a fluke with the one that I received or what!!
Also tried my MKII C+ HRG and a MKIII++ No Stripe with a 100 transformer, they both felt more like the C+ RI.
Good job Mesa on the C++ RI 🤘😛🎸

And No Dinesh videos!!!!!

YET!! 🤣

Note this isn't the reissue, its an original IIC++ and the video coincidentally (or intentionally if they knew the release date of the reissue and wanted to ride the hype to advertise their course) released just around the same time.
