    Simple noob question about Mark V 35 Combo

    As mentioned above, the 8Ω internal speaker and the 8Ω Thiele cab are both plugged into the two 4Ω jacks. Sounds great! The Boogie badge replaced the MESA badge for the sake of matching aesthetics. I also replaced the nickel grille washers with black ones for a cleaner look.

    Mark V35 review

    In the past I have typically steered away from EL84 amps because most of the ones I tried seemed to be lacking depth and breath on the bottom end but my Mk V 35 combo has almost as much grunt, albeit at lower volume, as a Dual Rec. My previous amp was an early model .50 Calibre which also...

    Speaker for the Mesa Mark V: 35??? Any thoughts???

    If you are referring to my other thread on here about trying to make the Mark V 35 louder I'm still deciding. I'm not normally much of a fan of Eminence drivers but from what I've been discovering in my learnings they do seem to make some fairly efficient ones. The search does still continue...

    Speaker for the Mesa Mark V: 35??? Any thoughts???

    I've never been able to bond with the V30, although I do admit they sound a tad better in a closed back cab then in an open back combo. I bought a pair of them a few years ago after reading all the raves online and tried them in all three of the amps I had at the time. I ended up selling them...

    Post your Mark V photos

    Mark V 35 with Thiele cab. I replaced the nickel-silver screw-washer thingies on the grille for black washers for a cleaner look and I also replaced the MESA Engineering logo plate on the ext cab with a Boogie logo plate.

    W/D/W home rig - 3 amps - what dry cab?

    I would audition each amp individually and whichever amp I liked the sound of best for my unprocessed tone would be the middle. The other two, I would probably dial in for a much cleaner tone for the wet effects since I would want the side amps to add the least amount of additional colour and/or...

    More SPL from the Mark V - 35 (combo)

    I'm hoping to learn if there are any circuit mods or maybe tube choices available that can provide a little more volume, specifically clean headroom, on channel 1 (fat). Or in the more probable alternate, a speaker swap to something more efficient that hopefully does not have its own built in...

    Can Mark Five 35 do AC style chime?

    I have played with every setting on mine and I think I have tried just about every combination of settings. I never got what sounded to me like the traditional Vox tone. I can get Blackface tones, a semi-passable kind of Tweedy tone, certain Marshall-esque tones, prior Mark tones and something...

    Use Helix Floor To Switch Channels?

    In the event anyone else might want this information I created a larger and more legible version of the map. A small contribution to the catalog of Boogie information on this board.

    Use Helix Floor To Switch Channels?

    This is what they sent back. Pretty small but I can make it out. Kind of surprised they responded on a Saturday actually. They made no mention of any issues. The message was quite brief actually. Basically just here's the map, contact us if you have more questions. The only thing about the...

    Use Helix Floor To Switch Channels?

    I just fired off an email to Boogie at [email protected] and asked them for the map. My thinking on asking them directly is that if there are any issues or dangers with channel switching in this way or if there are any hardware incompatibilities with a standard MIDI plug they will...

    Use Helix Floor To Switch Channels?

    Actually .... now that I'm thinking about this I could build one myself but I don't know which pins on the 5-pin DIN to connect to the sleeve and tip. Does anybody have a map of the pins?

    Use Helix Floor To Switch Channels?

    Update: I found one solution but it seems out of reach for me. https://btpa.com/Footswitch-Cables/Mesa-Amp-Cables/ The cable itself is only $30 but the shipping price the website quoted me at checkout is $195. I guess I will keep looking.

    Use Helix Floor To Switch Channels?

    Hey guys. I did use the search function before posting a new topic but I didn't find anything that directly addressed my situation. I just searched for Helix and looked at all topic titles going back to 2016, which I believe is the year they released Helix. I also searched this on the Helix...
