Mark Five vs Mark IIC+

Thanks for posting this! Obviously they sound very similar. To me the Mark V sounds a little bit tighter and the bass is more managed.
 
Strange. I preferred the Mark V for the chord bits, as it sounded like it had a bit more midrange and definition. The single note stuff though, it sounded like the Mark V's midrange suddenly vanished.

That said, for me it's a bit of a misguided comparison. One of the great things about the Mark series is the fat mids. "Here's a side by side comparison of two Mark series amps with the life EQ'd right out of them." Buzz vs slightly different buzz. :|
 
And that is why I don't have GAS for a IIC+ anymore, since getting the V. I actually like its "extreme" mode for high gain more. It has quite a bit more balls.
