UTILIZATION
Easier than you think. It is not more complicated than the mark set V three separate amps, or three times the same amp for three different sounds. So do not worry about the mass of buttons. There are a number for each channel fairly ordinary settings.
SOUNDS
I play on an old Telecaster with a soft, for a Telecaster.
Channel 1: The way fat is my favorite with the bold option. It gives a velvety quite enjoyable for the neck pickup jazz, funk on both pickups. The tweed is fat, saturates slightly, I prefer to use the second channel for crunch sounds.
Channel 2: Channel blues! Impressive. We manage the level of crunch with the gain and master knobs. It is more difficult to adjust,'m still not quite to the point of this option canal.mode mark 1 mark 1 and normal.
Channel 3: Mark IV mode, normal and gain high enough. Santana is not far. Finally, he had opted for a Telecaster.
But more importantly, the equalizer output, how wonderful! I can not believe it. The "solo" is also great. It was actually a kind of second volume knob. Is adjusted so the two buttons and two levels of the switching from one to the other of the toe.
OVERALL OPINION
To play in an apartment, it's great with the volume. How others do not they think? This is crazy! It has a great sound to work without waking the cat! This is beautiful.
For small rooms, it is ideal for the same reason, we can do heat lamps and lower sound. It seems so simple.
For large rooms, careful not to cover the sound
was quick to release. But if the conductor grimace, do not worry, just turn down the sound without changing anything else in its settings across all channels. It's amazing how it restores the smile around!
I play big band with drums, bass, percu, two keyboards, seven or eight brass (two trumpets, two flutes Transverse. Funk From? Channel 1 and it is clear. A solo? Hop, the magic button. Was happening on a boogie, and channel 2 to pass copper channel 3 with a gain to melt the ice. everywhere I go without touching anything with the nine sounds underfoot. pedal-board is the in the closet, and I go Now with a single jack, and without any battery in my bag.
The Grail has a price. In occase is more accessible, but it is quick to spend the savings lamps, there is a package. We still three amps for the price of one, and one sees Pedals shops that exceed 500 euros. That puts the price of the beast. I played for 25 years on my Boogie Studio 22-channel engineering, sounds breathtaking for such a small box, but I did not have enough headroom with brass, and not enough accuracy levels between clean / saturated. Well the mark V is all, much better. I had a music man 112, and I played on some other (fender silverface, more modern as supersonic). The Mark V is any better, and so much more convenient ...
Before making your choice, remember that weighs 30 kg (but well balanced, unlike a twin), the wheels are not too many. Do not buy this amp if you are in an apartment without a lift, or it will soon be in the classifieds section, sold due health problem (ouch my back!). Apart from the issue of weight he shares with most quality amps, it is incomparable. I do not see what could make me change outside even with 20 kg less.
