Has anyone checked out the Electro-Dyne? It came out at the same time as the Mark V, which got all the pub. But the Electro-dyne is a much cooler amp if you ask me. It sounds like an old Marshall with a little more bite.

Hi all,

I just picked up my Mark V amp about 2 weeks ago. It is the best amp I've ever come across.

I got to play the new Mark V head today. Pretty cool amp. Channel 1 has a real Fender like clean. Channel 2 has a great clean sound as well. When I cranked up the gain, it has a real raunchy classic rock sound. Channel 3 is the hi-gain channel. It's cool, but I like the sound of the Rectifier's distortion better.
Overall I really liked it. It's very versatile. The clean sounds are amazing.

I've heard the cleans, they sound amazing, but I agree with you on the distortion. To me it sounds too spongy.

I just bought a Mesa Powerhouse 212 cab yesterday - fantastic stuff. That, paired with an SWR SM-900 running mono-bridge, is a lethal combo.

Would you think a Mesa F-30 is good for classic/hair metal and Steve Vai like tones?

For sure, great amps for the money. I've never tried for a Vai kind of tone, but with the right pups I'm pretty much 99% sure you could get a great tone.

These things have gain out the ass though, I never turn mine past half, even for metal. I do switch on an OD and the contour for metal, but I never crank the gain since I used single coils and cranking the gain muddies everything up. With buckers I would think you could about dime these things and not have it muddy up.

The thing I love about this amp is how it can sound crunchy with the bridge pup, but also sound super smooth with an OD on the Neck pup. What a great purchase.

hey guys, just stopping by to show some love for the boogies. i'm in the market for one right now, if anyone owns a rectoverb can you tell me a little bit about it and tell me what sounds you can get out of it? i just need a little combo with good jazz tones and metal tones but mainly jazz tones.

You definitely won't get that kind of gain out of a Lonestar. You won't really get Fender-type cleans out of it either. The Lonestar is pretty warm. A Mark IV might work for you. It's good for metal without having the stereotypical "Recto" sound and has cleans modeled directly from Fender amps.

I've been seriously looking at these suckers, but I have a few questions to ask. I have played a Roadking head, and I like it a lot. I was wondering about the Lonestar, though. I'm looking for a Fender-like clean, but enough versatility to be able to crank up to some 80'sish metal tones (plus an overdrive pedal, but that's besides the point). I was wondering if the Lonestar is on this level of versatility. Also if you answer to this, your wattage/speakers and about how loud it gets would be really helpful. I know it comes in a 30 watt combo and 100 watt head, but just wondering about other variations of it. Thanks
