robbieb61 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I know everyone has their differing "ears" and preferences in tone. And I really like the lead tone on the new Mesa MK IV model lead channel. :)BUT...having said that: I set up my lead sound on two different snapshots. I used the MKIV model on one and then on the other I used the brand new Line 6 creation of a modded Marshall (JCM 800).All I can say is: WOW! That new Line 6 created modded amp sounded a bit thicker and fuller without any fizz at all to my ears. I really thought I'd be all over the new Mesa MKIV model...but this new modded Marshall that they cooked up edged past it for my ears!If you haven't given it a try yet...be sure to! And I was able to really get that "brown" sound out of it on "Page 2" with the trick "mid" control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsd512 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I was thinking the same thing as I was trying it out. That amp is a very pleasant and welcome surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
