I tried it out front, sounds kind of dead. In the loop it seems to add some more life to the amp.

Have no idea what I'm doing. So let's just get that out of the way, LOL I have an MXR 10 band EQ. Is it better to run it through the loop or after the OD boost in front of the amp? Sounds better in the loop. Just wondering what other folks do? Trying to get rid of that awful flubby bass...

Orange DD100H Dual Dark 100 Watt guitar head. Amplifier is in as new condition with no wear. It sounds incredible and works exactly as it should. You are viewing actual photographs of the listed item. About 5 hours or < on this amp. Never left the studio. The Orange DD100H Dual Dark 100 watt...

Does anybody know the right size fuse for MKV? Want to get some spares. I know it's 4a 250v slow blow. I bought 10 and they are 5x20mm, which is the wrong size. A link to the proper fuse would be appreciated. Thanks

Mark VI ? :twisted:

I'm a noob when it comes to this, and I understand the need for level in the loop, but what does the loop have to do with the master? I got the book on my nightstand so I can read up on this amp again for the 3rd time. Gotta stop smokin green so I can retain the info :shock:

****, you guys go deep eh? :twisted:

I've never owned a IV but from the videos I see, everyone is using some sort of boost / od up front. With the MKV, I'm noticing now, since I'm learning more about it, that a boost / od up front is not needed.

Well I took it out of 10W mode as others suggested and put it in 90W mode. The difference now is I have the channel 3 volume at 9:00, gain at about 3:00 and I use the master to taste. I just plugged in my BC rich 7 string and it's sounding pretty **** good. I think most of my issue is (this is...

Yeah, you're probably right, I got to get off the internet. :shock:

Now this to me sounds killer. Everybody loves these **** things, I don't know why they stopped making them. I know the MKV had the MKIV setting, but from what I read, it's not the same as the original amp. Who knows, just like the tone. But it is rather dark and lacks some level of crispness...

I'm still stuck in the 90's man. Heh. Slayer, Exodus, Pantera, Death Angel, Dark Angel. New bands? Lamb of God.... **** can't think of anything else. Theres too many **** bands these days and I don't have the time to figure out what sucks and what doesn't. This is a tone I love that I came...

Good to know about the power section. I assumed it was like everything else. Low watts for low volumes, push the power section. I don't usually us the extreme setting, I was just messing around with it. Extreme is my least favorite setting on the whole amp. Usually it's MKIV or 2C. I'll try...

Good post man. I think I have a wrong impression about gain, since I come from the world you just described. Modeling and whatnot. So I'm use to that fizzy type of saturation. Also, I'm not using the amp to the potential it was designed for. I do use it in 10W mode so I can turn it up a bit and...

I left out the LOL he included. Here's my typical settings. This amp is kind of too much for what I need it for. I don't play cleans through it. I just need one tone, all out balls to the wall metal / thrash. But I figured it was pretty much the best thing in the price range, plus it just looks...
