Congrats man!
Compared to the kind of unbelievable number of absolute garbage Mark VII demos that have hit youtube so far, yeah Fluff's demo sounds head and shoulders above any of the other ones lol.
He gets some crap but man I guess sometimes we don't realize just how much better the more talented youtube guys are at what they do than everybody else when you compare them back-to-back like this.
On a similar note, we won't really know how good the Mark VII is until it is compared back-to-back with previous Mark amps. Personally I'm really looking forward to the direct comparisons with the Mark V:90 and V:25 for the Crunch and Mark 7 modes.
I'd even go further at this point and argue none of us will know the difference unless we have it in our own hands to truly soak in the "feel". Sure, the A/B clips can expose differences but that is still based on how the player tweaks all the knobs of each (finnicky) amp. Knowing that even individual Marks of the same model have slight tonal differences, I personally will never know for sure if I would prefer the VII over anything else until it's in my music room. Having 4 Marks in my stable at the moment, I can tell you that my personal preferences are more centered around feel than tone.
Totally agree. A big part of a Mark is that response and feel you only get by playing one. That combination of tightness, punch and liquid. My old Mark 4 had it and the mk3's and 2C+'s I have tried certainly did as well. Some of the demo's, ya, they don't sound good, but a couple of them (Larks, Fluffs) give me hope. Won't know until I try one, or more guys around here do, but I am optimistic.
This 100%. My Mark IV sounds very good...then plug into the IIC++ and well, its eye(ear) opening. Punch and juice and harmonics galore. Its a raw and on the verge of exploding feeling.
