Frequently Asked Questions
The clean channel is exceptionally versatile, capable of sparkling cleans but also thicker, slightly overdriven tones; it's not a sterile, completely neutral clean like some boutique amps.
The 25-watt setting is surprisingly loud and suitable for smaller venues, especially when paired with a good speaker cabinet; the 45 and 90-watt settings are for larger stages and recording.
The Mark IIB mode on the Mark VII captures the essence of the classic Mark IIB but offers the added flexibility of the Mark VII's power switching and graphic EQ.
