I was a big mp2 supporter as well...loved it with the mod sbm1...comparing the 722 to the v3 and the mp2->mod sbm1 (only point of reference I have for my own rig), I think the 722 is less bloated on the low end than the mp2 is, and is a bit more detailed in the mids and highs than the mp2 is....basically more detail to my ears, but not sacrificing the transformer sound that I liked about the mp2...so somewhere in between the V3 and the MP2->Mod SBM1
