On your MKV are you using the "Edge" mode on channel 2?

Yessir!! I was a “crunch acolyte” for a long time with both this one and the V I used to have but I fell in love with edge mode more recently. Kick ass sounds (crunch mode is still epic, edge just suits my vibe for that channel moee so these days)

Yes very similar to the Sovtek but with some upgraded parts sockets and switches.
Josh at JHS has a good video on both
It’s a 59 Bassman / Plexi.

It's gonna be this for a while to come, I still haven't even tried all my guitars through it-
I was curious how the EMGs were going to sound through it, half expecting it to sound pretty good considering the EMGs were made when amps sounded more like this than they do modern amps and I wasn't wrong. They actually sound pretty damn good, so I'm guessing it's just modern high gain that makes me hate them.

Appreciate it muh friends!Love those big ass Toroidal Transformers!
Holey Hey Zeus Fuckerin' Christine, but I don't know why none of you fukka's ever told me how great a tube amp is!
My parttime neighbor was around last night and came up to help me break this bitch in! He's been playing 45 years or something, so he's way better than this hack! Also gave him shit for not telling me to get a tube amp, lmfao. He said, "I only told you every time I've talked to you the last 5 years!".
I could get by without the Powerstation, since there is a "Watts" knob on the head, basically a MV - but that Powerstation does some extra-injection of fukkerin' mojo, and I am loving it. Moar tubes? A magic presence knob? A "edge" setting on the bright switch, all useful and really changes shit.
Having so many options is taking some digestion time, but I keep landing on some other cool ass tone most every time I tweak shit. Was playing the intro to Ain't Talking 'Bout Love, over and over - with the help of a flanger on the QC.
Gotta be careful with the built-in boost, too high and it can choke the mids. But there's "gain on tap" and a pretty awesome clean channel. Still don't know when I'm supposed to use the rhythm or lead channel, so I just randomly decide, lmao.
Using the QC for pre-amp effects atm, need 2 more cables to put post effects in the loop. Seems like all I do is buy fucking cables.
Definitely kicks ass and I don't think I could be any happier with it, especially since I'm still learning it, and will be for a while.
Neighbor is a huge Marshall guy, has a div/13 and a few other amps, but is a tried-and-true Marshall Bitch! Once he got it dialed in the way he likes it, he said he could sit here for hours and jam! Pretty high praise, he knows his shit! He also loved the Powerstation. Have to keep him away from my Luke 4, I think he wants to run off with it! I'd probably still be trying to figure shit out if it wasn't for him!

And we all are thinking he finally started to pay attention.

Going to fire up my new VOX AC15 CH in a bit.
Just found out the built in attenuator only works when the 16 ohm speaker socket is used

Haha, yes indeed Mike!Stoked for you Dave
BTW you have Cable OCD, like me everything needs to be neat and tidy I noticed
Have a UPS screwed to the underside, which is messier than I like with the power cables, but whatchagonnado? Not sure if I'm going to bother hooking up the amp footswitch, could throw everything into disarray lol.
