so far,I have only played Reb's thru it..it rocks
-yes,Mesa has won me over-i am a Mark series man
-I will keep others no doubt-the V will be a gig monster while the others stay under lock and key
-the eq presets are very flexible -I like it because you can get more out of the 3 channels(use a preset for chan 1/dial in a custom eq on the 5 band for chan 2/preset for 3...)
-the different modes really change the voice of the channel-it would be perfect IMO if you were able to change modes via footswitch, but I dont know how possible that is under the hood...
-its not a clone amp-its got its own mojo , and if you like the Mark series, this is a must have IMO-the extreme setting reminds me of a mix of rectifier and mark-40% REc...60% mark....a great modern tone-
and does it nail the C+?....it passes the blind taste test! I a/b'd yesterday, and it was almost dead on/considering the diff. transformers,tubes,etc..I was pleased at how it copped the lead channel on a C+
