Took my Mustang v2 100 watt 1x12 over to jam with my bass playing friend. Messed with a couple cover tunes, “Sometimes Salvation” by the Black Crowes and “You Belong to Me” by Lenny Kravitz.
Used a dirty preset I made at home based on an Orange amp (not sure which) for the Crowes, and a very similar but clean with a little chorus setting (same Orange amp) for Lenny. Played my Tele plus on both, and was really happy with both.
We were playing a lot louder than I ever do at home, and he’s got a really nice 800 watt Mesa micro head and a nice cab. Only tweaking I had to do was a little less gain, less treble, and a little more mids, and the Mustang kept up just fine.
We’re both metalheads, so for the last half hour, I turned on the 6505 setting, set all the knobs at 5, and again, was super happy with the tones I was getting.
If we get this turned into something and start playing out, I may check out the newer gen 100 watt head and 2x12 version of this amp.
