It's been a couple of years in the making, but I finally snagged a Rockerverb. I used a Mk I for a couple of songs in a recording session back in 2012 and really liked it, but could never find one for a price I was willing to pay. After liquidating some pedalboard gear recently I decided to go amp hunting again, and even though I started out looking at the OR50 I wound up with this Rockerverb 50 Mk II.
I only have a small closed-back 1x12 loaded with a Cannabis Rex here at home right now, but I'm hearing that sound I got hooked on two years ago. The reverb is much more useable in this version though, and it seems like the gain channel is a little tighter and less fuzzy with the EL34s. The added mid control on the clean channel is also a nice update over the Mk I. I can't wait for the matching 2x12 to get it later this week so I can really give it a workout!

That said, the fuzzy quality can seem to go away in a band mix (unless you have the gain cranked up full blast) leaving you with a nice British crunch, like a thicker Marshall.
