Hi all, Only had my Mark V 25 for about 3-4 months. I first noticed an issue about a week after I bought it when it lost all sound. After turning it off and coming back in a little while it worked fine. The amp has had very minimal use and has been fine up until yesterday when as I turned up...

You should be able to run the stock 8 ohm speaker in one of the two 4ohm slots and another 8 ohm cab in the other 4 ohm slot, thats what the manual says anyways for my 5:25, as long as the resistance of the cab is a higher number you'll be fine. I don't think you can run a cab if you have the...

I have tried the treble pot on full, half way and also at around 8 o'clock on the dial, to me it almost sounds more grainy with less treble on the actually treble knob, it really seems to affect the openness of the amp, I found with the treble on half or over the amp seems to sound fuller, the...

Thanks for the reply. I spent a good 4-5 hrs yesterday with a 5751 in the v2 trying to get trid of the harshness, even with the last reble slider wound all the way off its still there, Im just hoping this isnt an inheriant thing with the express as at this stage Ill prob have to sell it and...

Hi all, To cut a long story short, Im basically after a nice IIC+ sort of sound, think dream theater's awake album. In my quest for this tone I finally bought a boogie last week (mini rec), I wasnt happy with the versitility with it so I swapped for a 5:25+ in 1 by 12 combo. I love the...
