Howdy folks, it's been a while so I thought I would check back in! Here's my story - I've been gear lusting for an Axe FX for a few years. I finally got my hands on on the AX8 (the slightly limited floor version of the Axe) about a year ago. I used it mostly in a recording environment...

Little bit off topic - but Since I'm the lucky dude who got Markedman's C+ I figured I would chime in. I love the MKV25 - I guess I've had it about 2 years. The modes on that amp are sort of misleading I think. They all sound great and are very responsive. However I think the real C+ sounds more...

So I own the MKV25 - love it. Me being me, I started getting curious what a real C+ was like. I was asking my friend Markedman about his C+ and we decided to trade for a week to get familiar with each amp. So naturally after diggin into the tones on the C+ I HAD to have one. Long story short...

Solved!!! It turned out to be tube related. I guess the lesson here is to re-tube first before thinking the worst. Not sure which tube was the culprit as I swapped out everything. I wonder which tube impacts the cab clone the most? Now, after the retube it is crystal clear and the tone I was...

No I'm able to get plenty of signal at that level. The gain might be at 7 but the master is at 8 ( or 9) Seems like there should be a ton more clean head room With the gain basically off. I'm able to achieve the cleans I want through my cabinet. It's only through the cab clone that it starts to...

Channel 1 Fat mode Gain 7 o'clock Treble 10 Mid 1 Bass 11 Master 8 Maybe I should contact Mesa - I get the same breakup with the master virtually off and the mids reduced to 8. A little development though - the cab clone sound cleaned up quite a bit. Albeit it was only temporary. The nice...

Here is a short cab clone example - just terrible. Believe it or not it sounds crystal clear and nice through the cab... https://www.dropbox.com/s/mnt8qgz328jlp7n/forum.mp3?dl=0 Your thoughts?

Thanks for the responses! I'm Using a MOTU 828 MK3 interface, I also tried a Focusrite and an Akai interface. I know I'm not overdriving the interface as the signal doesn't even come close to Peaking the VU meter. The amp is a few feet away from any possible interference. I do have a speaker...

Any ideas anyone?? I spent about 3 hours playing the MKV25 today ... The first two through my cab and then an hour with the cab clone out into my interface. Channel 1 Fat mode - sounds great through the cab but sounds distorted through cab clone. Running the gain very low...plenty of more...

Hello out there - trying to lay down some tracks with my trusty Mark V25. Wondering if anyone else has had this experience... Great clean tone through my Mini Recto cab channel 1 on the Fat mode. I run the identical settings through cab clone and its overdriven! Buzz kill. (And no I am...

Again - thanks for the suggestions. I had more luck this past week with presence in the mix. Seems to be essential to lower the gain a smidge and up the mids two smidges. As far as the setup I use with the IEM's - I still use the earbuds for my vocal mix. But this week I committed to removing...

Thank you for all the detailed responses! I will try the suggestions out for sure. Currently I have a 2x12 closed back with Celestion seventy 80's that I've been using for my rehearsals. I am also using an IEM system with the cab clone into the board. I have a Mini Recto Cab at home that has a...

First time poster, hopefully in right locale... My Mark Five 25 is easily the best music purchase I've made in years. The form factor is perfect and the output volume is just what I've been hoping for. My only problem is getting the awesome tones I've sculpted to fit in the mix of my band. I...
