Sep 8, 2023 · Well-known member. Sep 8, 2023. #10. Mark IV. You can't go wrong with either. The VII is a V that is easier to dial in. The IV mode on it is virtually identical to a IV with presence pulled and mid gain on, and the C+ mode is tighter and crunchier than the JP. The JP is tricky, it's very guitar and cab dependent like the V.
Feb 26, 2024 · I have a JP2C and its my favorite amp, i love having two EQ, i tried the mk vii but most of the modes i didnt like and never would of used, the JP2C gives me the tones i need, i owned a couple 90w mark 5 but didnt like them, also had a mkiv-a which i did like, i still have my mark 5-25 which is a cool little amp but out of all these amps the Jp is my favorite, i also have other amps but im ...
Jan 29, 2024 · Recently, after enjoying the Neural DSP Mesa IIC+/++ Suite and Archetype Petrucci, I thought about Mark VII or JP-2C. I went with the Mesa JP-2C after researching and hearing JP talk about the design decisions. When I found a new Mesa JP-2C rack head at 19% off and free shipping last November it was a nobrainer for me.
Feb 2, 2014 · Mark IIC is weak, Mark IV is ok but still not as good as the JP2C, extreme comes in a close third. Badlander on crush mode is a close second to the JP2C or the Mark VII modes: IIC, IV and VII. The Mark IIB is also cool. So if you are looking for a bedroom amp, stick with the Mark V90 or get a load box as the 25W power mode is much louder than ...
Mar 18, 2023 · The differences do sound fairly subtle. The Mark VII sounded very tight, I suspect they did the non-GEQ model coupling cap which cuts bass before the GEQ for a faster response, just like on the Mark V. The JP2C definitely had a noticeably larger low end, i was surprised Ola didn’t notice.
Jun 6, 2023 · The Mesa/Boogie Mark VII is available as a head, rackmountable unit and combo. (Image credit: Mesa/Boogie) The Mark V provided a pretty damn good selection of classic Mesa Boogie amp tones, but I think that most players will find the Mark VII’s selections are even better. The highly coveted Mark IIC is back and sounds as incredible as it did ...

Jun 14, 2023 · The Pentode operation and new, modern components are the likely reasons why the Mark VII feels different than the vintage Simul-Class IIC+ amps. Per Mesa Boogie, there is a "radical sound and feel difference" between Triode and Pentode. Unfortunately for Mark VII users, the C+ mode will not be able to run on Triode like an '80s original.
