The Marshall JVM is the brighter sounding of the two amps and offers a much more British Era tone with loads of
bite. The 100 Watt version displayed here could standalone in the new Klipsch Music Center on the main stage with its 4x10 speaker cabinet carrying volume louder than 120 decibels at full volume which is nearing the volume of a jet engine one meter away!In your face

The Mesa Boogie Mark V is an extremely versatile amp that definitely rivals the JVM. It is similar in the remarkable depth of tone customization among each channel. It is renowned for for being eight amps in one. The Equalizer panel gives it a nearly infinite ability for tone personalities. The Mark V is great for jazz, blues, and classical rock although it has become popular in the last ten years for being intensely powerful for metal and all of its sub-genres. The pulverizing low end that this amp develops can only be described as a vulgar display of power that is felt through the chest all the way back to the spine. It truly is a heart stopper.
The Les paul is a legend all on its own no matter what model is chosen. They have been around since 1952 and were designed by Lester William Polsfuss, known as Les Paul. The Les Paul Standard is a great guitar for blues, classic rock, and jazz. The Standard can pull off metal but that is where the Gibson Les Paul Custom and Studio come into play. The Studio costs a fraction of the Les Paul Custon but still plays out clear punchy riffs and breakdowns. The Les Paul Custom generally cost around 3 to 4 grand, but has a beautiful finish and weighs a bit more which helps give it a nice full bodied and luscious tone.

The Epiphone Les Paul Custom and Standard are much cheaper routes to go that won't let down although they do compromise slightly in hardware quality and a bit in tone. They have slightly different headstocks and do not angle as far back as Gibsons do, but they are not to be mistaken for poor quality guitars.
