NAD!!!...1st ever for me
« on: June 19, 2009, 01:57:57 AM »

..I realized, as I picked up my Mk V Boogie today(the black one...), that after 20 + years of playing, this is THE FIRST BRAND NEW amp I have ever owned
-instant gratification....I cannot imagine a better CLEAN CHANNEL-I could not dial in a bad tone-yes, there are lots of dials and switches, but it is "amp magic for dummies"....and lots of fun to dick around with-very easy user interface
.....great layout/an excellent amp for anyone in a cover band-I can go from Nashville to LA ,etc in the click of a footswitch-only 2 hours so far, but diggin' the power settings
..damn, whatta clean channel!

Very nice, was quite impressed with what ive seen of them, but then when i saw the price tag in this neck of the woods i knew i would never have one.
nice selection of boogies there. what are the other models? II and III?
Ive got one of those halfback boogie cabs that i see at the bottom there. they rule, except for the weight.

NOW BE CAREFUL HOW YOU WRITE THIS RESPONSE AS I MIGHT SELL MY MARK IV,  :D
How close does the IIC+ mode actually get to your IIC+
Tone?
Feel?
MOJO?

YES..THE yOUTUBE GUY IN gERMANY ...that comes close in terms of tone/compression/etc....this one trumps a IV IMo( I owned a Mk IV B for 2 years...the channel 2 is NOOO comparison, and the lead channel has a lot more options(IIC, IV, Extreme)-if you like to weeeeeedleleedeee, the lead channel is right up your alley :)

That looks good to me. Clean channels are very important for me too and I can imagine how good it must be to get a great tone.

I can go from Nashville to LA ,etc in the click of a footswitch

That's 1,836 miles FYI. ;)
The question is can you cross the atlantic with it?
