Another not super direct comparison, considering the mic and cab thing, but this is what I am creating for now. I have a plan for something more direct coming soon.
Great job man! I think we have kinda similar tone preferences because the way i set my Boogie Mark V is very close the way you have set your boogies to test them. Really helpful video. I think i'll choose JP2C to my next purchase.
Great Job on Comparing the two. I have the JP2C, I'm not just not sure If I can justify the Money for the new Mark VII to hear that much of a difference? It may be different if I can actually play one someday. I do like the 2 Eq's on the JP though.
Great video dude. Definitely subbed. I just got my Mark VII and I am really enjoying it so far. But I have to ask why do you keep the master volume is at? Especially channel 3? I find this episode damn loud. How do you turn it up and then sit so close? Looking forward to future videos going more in depth on the amp.
@@thewrathofraf Yeah I switched over to 45 Watts now so I have a little more wiggle room with the master volume. Keep it up dude! Would love to see some deep dive vids on MArk VII mode.I still can't figure out how to set it up right with the same sliders as channel 3. :)
I don't even think the shred mode is even necessary. The IIC+ mode on the VII sounds absolutely badass in the video. Palm muting and chug is one of the main things I looks and the VII sounds perfect. I may have missed but what the EQ settings on the VII? Did you use the graphic?
Thanks! Yeah, I don't think it's necessary, but it's a feature that I like on the JP. Graphic EQ is on, in a V with the 2200 slightly higher than the mid point.
I've got to get to Guitar Center and play this thing. Just judging from videos this Mark is up there with the actual IIC+ but with all the modern bells and whistles
I have a JP2c and i can say my Mark V sound better on the IV and 2C++ mode. The JP2C sounded harsh and quite difficult to get a good crunch. The 2c++ of the mark V is killer. I choose the MK VII
Pretty sure the V channel is IIC+, not ++. I didn't like that amp very much, but I also am not a huge fan of the JP. For different reasons. The V didn't have enough low end for me, and would be extremely finicky day to day. The JP has this weird honk in the midrange that I didn't like and couldn't dial out. The VII fixes both of these issues for me.
Yeah, I had 2 Mark IVs for a few years. They were great, for sure. It's hard to say how they compare because it's been about 4 years since I had them, but I love this as much as I remember loving the IVs, maybe more.
With shred mode off on the JP, the low end isn't as tight and compressed as the VII. Nothing to do with aggression in this case, but I don't agree that the JP is more aggressive. They're about the same.
The built in EQ is already like having an EQ in the loop, so I'm sure you'd be able to tweak it to where you want it. Another EQ, to me, would be redundant.
@@thewrathofraf Well people always complain that the JP sounds boxy, that is an easy fix with an external EQ. Also didn't Metallica also use external EQ with the Mark amplifiers to get their famous tones. I use the JP with the Axe-FX III and it definitely helps to throw some EQ after the JP.
