Yeah, cuz when it comes time to re-tube them big-iron amps, it costs an arm and a leg. View attachment 53427

I more than likely have to retube my 2:90 this winter. I keep punting and know I’m playing with fire. 8 6L6s in that friggin thing.

OUCH.

Sorry for your loss.

The Mark amps can be super mid forward, that is why so many people use the eq in the V mode to pull some or most mids out.

The JP2C is a bit more mid forward but that Mark EQ can change that. I know some of the folks in here have Mark's w/o the EQ and a few of them put an EQ in the loop to make up for it. I "think" I have gathered from other users coments that the non EQ ones have differnt tone stacks that sort of make up for no EQ? I have not touched one though, just from what others have said about them still being absolutly brutal sounding amps and I know w/o the EQ my Mark V and JP2C sound very thin and shit.

im not sure if its different- but my iib has no eq and i usually dial the mids north of 5-6. it doesnt clean up super well without it, and it makes for way better low mids and bass- but i also run my presence almost flat out. :
