What Amp Are You Playing Today?

I kinda want to swap my 5:25 for a 5:35

I’m not well versed in how big the differences between the 25/35 are?


I thought it was just number of 84s?

I could be mistaken but if that’s the only difference and you’re looking for a change I’d consider just jumping up to the full 90 bad boy

I do like the 35 watt setting more, it’s more “open” sounding idk how to explain it. Same gain structure, just feels like it’s more alive. It make me want the 90 watt

One day I’m getting the bad boy. Then the IV, and III, and oh god

I know third post in a row but I’ve had a few so . For home use, I have to be honest with myself that barely turning the MV up makes my windows rattle, so idk if the 90 watt would 100% be an “upgrade” here

I see a lot of 25/35 on stage around here and they’re immaculate sounding

I know I’ve had my fair share of el84 shit talking but I feel like the biggest advantage of the 90 of you already own one of the smaller ones is the insane versatility enhancement

Bigger iron does equal bigger sound as far as I’m concerned, but the lower wattage guys still sound massive

Yupp, I feel like the 90 is the end all be all for what I want, three channels alone would be really great. I love crunch as much as I love fat, I’d love to have them separated and have fat, crunch and IV.

Once you get into the “extra options” like recto tracking/wattage/ split modes/ etc etc it gets pretty intense too


And shit, I’m not sure I realized you had to make that choice….

Fat/crunch/mkiv is my OG mode combo but lately I’m fat/edge/nkIV

Solo boost, a little more headroom, and wider shell. Strangely I have no interest in the 90.

Out of curiosity I checked the weights.

25 - 16.5lbs
35 - 27lbs
90 - 44lbs

I owned the 90 for 9 years. My favorite setting on those amps is the Crunch channel. I liked it best on the 25 I tried. Haven't played the 35 but I never felt like I'd need any of its features. Wanted a 25 for quite a while but then the price went up on them and I decided against it. Someday we'll have a Mark VII 25, which will be cool. Not sure why they're still making the V. The VII was supposed to replace it.

Roland Blues Cube Hot British EL84 Modified. The tube people will be aghast, but it's a really enjoyable amp. It just keeps me playing.

Another stereo experiment using my Fillmore 50 combo and the OR15H I bought from @paisleywookiee. The Orange amp is connected to a V30 1x12, and the Fillmore is using its MC90 and the yellow 2x12 loaded with Jensen Blackbird 40s.

I miss that amp. Glad you’re still digging it.

I still have to play through the OR15 my buddy lent me to try. He said it’s not for sale though so I can’t get attached.

JVM410H, recently bought.

Sounds great so far. Working my way through the 12(!) channels (4 really, but each has green, orange and red, so yeah, 12 all up).
