Another bad financial decision. Too many options. I will try to come up with some kind of clip for you guys because I love you all.

Jesus Christ, how many controls does an amp need? I get lost on my Ampeg GVT sometimes, and that's basically just treble, mid and bass.

Great amp, could never justify these but always really wanted one.

Haha, you haven't even seen the back either. It's dumb as fuck.

Mark series amps sounds awesome. The clean channel is really nice!

I tried a Mark IV in a shop once and really liked it. Multiple channel amps usually end up being a bit of a trade-off, but the cleans and the overdrive of that both sounded usable. I'm guessing the Mark V is merely an updated version of that.

They really are nice amps though - sound great, well-made and all that. It's just the sheer number of controls seems a bit excessive. For all the lack of live gigs and financial worries I've had lately, I still can't bring myself to part with my F50 - it has the trademark Boogie 'Fender amp on steroids' look and tone, but I didn't need to max out my credit card and wrestle with a zillion control knobs to get the sound I want out of it.

Absolutely, that nomad sucked so fucking bad i couldn't believe it. This thing actually has potential. I talked myself into it cause it was a friends and he was about to go to GC or a pawn shop with it. I got a super deal and kept it out of those scummy joints.
