40 years ago the ultimate metal amp was in production and NOTHING has exceeded it to this very day. The Mark IIC+ is the END of the quest for the ultimate crushing tone.
It is the holy grail, however the quality control and the engineering back then was a bit weird, so you don't always get the Hetfield version, but some sort of flubby tubby thing that isn't very good. Same with a lot of Rectifiers. The Tremoverb was the shit, and then there's other revisions are just poopy and dull.
@@mattvdh the reissue 2c is tighter than the og 2c-according to two respectable UA-camrs-another you tuber bought the vii and has been been playing his reissue more he says it's addicting---------btw on a cheaper amp-John Petrucci in his vid on the v-25-(with the creator of mesa boogie) was super impressed with it vs all his amps that says a lot of this little monster another UA-camr agrees (Tone wars) ua-cam.com/video/NHc5JFcdVzM-/v-deo.html--in the end jp and tone wars have settled on the jp-2c--I say if one can't afford these very expensive amps go with the v 25-imho
Awesome tone man! Huge Metallica fan over here too and I just scored my dream amp. Mark 2C+ HRG 100PT. Im chasing that tone for life! Can I respectfully ask whats in it? As far as dialed settings/boost? 🙏 Thanks again! 🤘🏽
Thanks man! HRG are phenomenal. Basically, on V30 Presence at 4.5 Volume 1 push at 7.5 Treble pull at 7 Bass push at 0 Mid at 0 Master 1 push at 4 Lead drive at 7 Lead master ( at taste for your volume application) Graphic eQ, classic V shape eQ. The key is the 750 and 6600 - pick as hard as you can Enjoy!
I have a sovtek lps, 3 6nf's ans 3 tungsrams. Was gonna do the sovtek in the phase inverter. Suggestions on the other positions? Or something different than I have?
@@guitarwilly81 Versus the HRG, it's like compare Triple Rectifier and Dual Rectifier. just a little bit more controlable. better trade of between the HRG and SRG, it's more * sweet spot* it's all in the feel. Same crushing tone for sure.

@@kevenrivard8719 I recommend that RFT dude. It's a killer tube in V1. It's slightly darker than a Shuguang C8 but in a super musical way and it breaks up sooner too. Im really digging it. My 2nd favorite is my nos RCA 7025A 12AX7A from 1959. It's very clear and bright. Very impressed when I hit the first big open chord with that one.
Feeling the burn of those downstrokes... I can relate to that. Sounds great.

Thank you@@kevenrivard8719
Great tone and playing.What pickups ?
@@robertrogers7939 Duncan custom on bridge and Jazz in the neck for Phil
Sounds just like Master of Puppets. Did u use any OD Pedals?
@@UncleYoshi Nop! He was straight into amp, oh except Fortin Zuul so… kinda straight
Insane. Cold you do another comparison with the IV? 🙂
Sure! Both are great. I’ll try another comparison this winter
Niiiiiiice!
What speakers in the cab?
All V30uk sir
What transformer was this?
@@guitarwilly81 105PT
Have you played an HRG?
Yep!
Phenomenal. Absolutely.
Little bit more punch/headroom feeling. Fun to play but the classical DRG have something special. They are one of a kind.
@@kevenrivard8719 what would you say that is? I've never had a DRG

WHATS THE FIRST RIFF TITLE?
Battery - Metallica
can anyone tell me the very first song played?
@@ConnorsGuitarsYT battery
🔥
People just play the same chops with this amp, it's nice, but sometimes... Damn.
Yes but... this guy is a huge Metallica fan, it was his dream to finally be able to try this amp, so what riff did you think he was going to play?
What preamp tubes you runnin man? I have an RFT in V1 and Shuguang C8s in the rest.
STR 415 outter x STR 425 inner + and all C8 for the preamp section.
What’s your poweramp section ?
