The IIC+ actually sounds good on the VII
Looking forward to maybe some clipsHe got some killer tones in there, and some so-so. Seems like he only really dialed in the C+ mode, and the rest he just kind of winged it.
Im checking one out later today- hoping to get some clips. Im a little confused on VII mode- is it meant to be used without EQ?
Holy shit, Ola is providing some negative comments. Wow! That gets more respect from me.

When he flips to the iib and goes single coil it almost has a Ty tabor thing to it.
I think that channel 2 crunch might sound really good being boosted with something, that’s really the only part I said oh damn
To be fair there are several different IIB board revision. Some more gainy than others.Ola also slammed the bass knob up pretty high when he demo'd that mode. I guess to make it sound more Recto-ish. Not sure he gave it a totally fair shot. I'd also love to hear that mode with a good boost in front of it.
Also, for the record, the fact that they're calling the channel 3's 1st mode the "Mark IIB" mode is crock of shit. I used to own a Mark IIB and it's WAY more gainy than that. It was every bit as gainy as a IIC+, just with a slightly different character.
I’ve had 4 2Bs; one HRG and 3 Coliseums…they all had a shit ton of gain…only differences I noticed was the very last preamp, the 9C, was frogs ass tight like a C+ or later version Mark. The earliest one was a Coli, serial 80 something. Loose lows that was hard to tighten even with a boost.To be fair there are several different IIB board revision. Some more gainy than others.
