    Mr Browne, I don't think there is an amp that you couldn't make sound good. I use the Victory Kraken modelled amp on my Quad Cortex and it sounds pretty much bang on with the real amp. Definitely needs a noise gate on it though, channel 2 is very noisy.

    I sold my MK1 because of the noisy gain 2 when the gain was at 12 O clock or higher, it's unfortunate because if sounded great but the noise was really annoying. That and the missing presence knobs were the two reasons. Perhaps it's noisy on gain 2 even on MK2 because of the small size of the amp, all components are really close to each other, anyway sounds great and I love your videos and playing :)
