Overview

I purchased this amp site-unseen since it was described as a head, and I really wanted another Mark IV head after selling my 1997 IVB Head. This combo arrived instead, and while I ended up returning it, it was pretty eye opening - the C90 speaker sounded fantastic and it was extremely full and loud sounding. I was surprised just how great it sounded for a 1x12 combo amp and of course, that famous Mark tone was there untouched.
