Mesa Mark VII IIC vs JP2C High Gain

[rsm]

I bought a JP-2C over the Mark VII.

Works great for me. Had it for over a year and counting.

Nice! I definitely like it too.

The JP2C was channel 2 EQ 1.

The VII was set how it was when I turned it on. It could definitely get closer to the JP2C but that was as close to the VII I could get the JP at these settings.

Is the JP2C the 2nd one in the clip?

They both sounded good to me

I think the VII sounded a bit more full in the low end but not loose or overly compressed. JP sounded a bit tighter at the expense of some of that low end fullness but I assume that could be EQ'd back in.

I'm hoping to get my hands on a Demo JP2C early next year to play side by side with my VII.

I own a JP2C and its been a great amp for me, i love it. I played the mark vii but it didnt impress me, i wanna get the IIC reissue. I personally dont care about all the options and modes of the vii, dual eq on the jp means more to me and i liked the tone better. some of the RT vids of the IIC lately has made me wanna buy the reissue.

I like clip number 2. It sounds more Mark like to me.
