The CRUNCH mode in the Mark Five 25 is a true chameleon mode that covers a huge range of sounds and styles, particularly with the addition of the Mark Five 25’s MID BOOST feature. This clip showcases the punchy, vintage & classic rock gain available from this mode and the additional grit and grind available with the MID BOOST, in this case, turned up to 7+. With plenty of gain in CRUNCH on it’s own, the MID BOOST is the icing on the cake when mid cut is needed and a little more gain doesn’t hurt.
Recorded with the Bridge Position Filter’tron humbucking pickup of a Gretsch Black Falcon guitar through the CRUNCH mode of Ch. 1 into two 1x12 Mini Rectifier cabs loaded with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. Recorded with a Shure SM 57, Shure KSM 313 and the Mark Five:25 on-board CabClone. Mixed with varying levels of the mics and CabClone for each clip and mastered for optimized output.
