Hey, im curious, has anyone played either of these heads before? What kind of sounds do they make, like modern rock kinda tones(pop-rock) or more classic rock? Thanks.
 
The mark series can go right up to metal, the f series gets somewhat close but not quite as fizzy. The f series will do a good hard/modern rock sound. I own a dc series and I can't be happier with the variety of tones it gets, everything from good clean to a solid blues overdrive to a really good metal tone. I'd go with the mark over the f but the f is a little cheaper I believe and like I said will be good for most things up to hard rock.

By the way, the F series has been discontinued and replaced with the Express series which looks like they might be very cool. However if you can afford a little extra you may want to seriously consider a Orange Rockerverb 50, I played on one today and it was absolutely phenominal.
 
That was my original idea...either that or an AD. I thought they were more expensive than a Marshall JCM2000 DSL 100W, but the 30W Rocker is actually 50 bucks less, so id much rather get that. I just need something with a good modern distortion, thats tube. And yeah i knew it was discontinued, but theres usually a few F-50 Heads on Ebay.

Well if you can swing it go with the Orange, I've played and or recorded many good amps and none sounded as nice as the Orange amps.
