I want to do horrible things to it - like EMG 81x and 89x, black plastics and hardware.

These two are holy grails for me , there was also one another of Dino with Fixed bridge - non reverse headstock with "Cazares" writing on headstock.

I have the Mk3 and have played the Mk2 a lot.

It's really really good.

i saw one for a good price but still very expensive, i wonder if it's really worth it, considering i already have an Engl PB2.
From what i've heard all the 3,5 channels are great from cleans to blues, hard rock to modern metal. It should be also much less compressed than the Engls.

I’ve had a lot of amps come and go and this one stayed. It’s the best I’ve tried for me and what I like to play.

If I had a gripe it’s that it’s very hi-fi sounding, very polished, almost sounds like you’ve already mixed it. It doesn’t sound raw at all like a Recto does; there’s very little fizz. It’s a very clean almost smooth distortion that responds very well to boosts and fuzz pedals.

I play mostly thrash, chug metal and sludgy stuff like Down and Crowbar and this amp can do all those no problem.

Cleans are the best in the game, very chimey. Single coils into the clean channel with a little reverb sound almost piano like.

Ch2+ boosted is where I live for faster thrash and chug metal.

It’s a very good amp and basically stopped my amp search/GAS for the better part of 3 years. I don’t look at amps anymore, I’ve had enough experience to know that if I sold it there really wouldn’t be anything out there that could replace it for me. It’s an endgame amp.

Try before you buy if you can and be aware that all the controls change things drastically.

The Presence and Depth controls alone can change it from beefy low end to tight thrashy stuff.

You can pretty much get anything you want out of this amp with the right pickups and right speakers.

Expensive as they are if you buy one and never buy another amp again then really, how expensive is it?

 

[Kosthrash]

Very nice pedal too, it gets very very close ...

I very much agree this. I could almost justify a Herbert for the cleans alone—reminds me of like a tube version of a JC 120. That said, it's not my first choice of amp for everything in between the limits of pristine cleans and the highest gain possible. That's where I think the extra polish doesn't work as well. It can totally do it, but not as well as someting like an SLO for my tastes. That would be my ideal two-amp setup to cover everything, since the SLO thrives basically everywhere other than those outermost limits.

These hit the RG2027XL vibe with proper specifications: reverse headstock, fixed bridge and an alternative color! "Solution R7" by Crews Maniac Sound.

Hey look it's what the Dean Kerry King sig(s) should have been.

 

[Bloody_Inferno]

I really did not need to see this being available today...

 

[ToRNOuTLaW]

@Bloody_Inferno. Looks like they unmounted a Bigsby trem at some point.
Do you have any idea when Ibanez built those?

The seller didn't mention the exact year outside 1970s, so be it 75-77 when these were most known, is anybody's guess.

 

[ToRNOuTLaW]

Yeah, I wonder how they compare to a 70s Gibson LP sound- and feelwise, but they appear to be much more affordable!
Found the offer on reverb, those bindings are rough, no need for relic'ing

 

[ToRNOuTLaW]

I don't have the money, neither do I require another(!) boutique bass, given that I'm an intermediate player at best.
Buuut, I would love to at least play a Marleaux Diva some time:
