I have the same amp head, my set up is fairly noisy (saturation mod plus Tubescreamer in front) so I have the TC Electronics sentry in the chain. You can connect it so that the gate sits in front AND in the loop, and it does the trick very well.

I've had my Mark V 35 almost three years now, I have the saturation mod installed and a pretty cool pedal board set up that I really love. I have the tone I've been chasing for years. My first few months with the amp were not as successful, but someone on here wisely told me to dump my...

I made the V2 mod to my Mark V 35 back in Jan, with some tweaking here and there it really opened the amp up for me. For the longest time, I liked the amp, but didn't love it. Now it has the tone I've been chasing (with some help from my pedal board as well). Question for someone who...

****, I was hoping for an under $1K solution, lol. Thanks.

I’m hoping there is a (simple) solution for this. I’m trying to figure out how to stop “tap dancing” and hook up a loop pedal that lets me change the channels on my Mark V 35 as well as adjust the pedals with only one button. I’d like to get a clean tone with some chorus on channel 1 of the...

Ordered! A little VERY last minute Christmas present to myself. I'll let you know how it goes.

This thread is like an early Christmas present! I was literally test driving a JP-2C yesterday as a possible upgrade to my Mark V:35, but I think I MUST try this before letting go of close to three grand. I’ve read through this thread, watched the YouTube videos associated with the ideas here...

I’m a Mark V 35 owner, but I’ve been getting an itch to try the JP2C. Do you think it’s worth the upgrade? I play metal in a cover band.

The middle paragraph is throwing me off, is that a vote for the Pentode or Triode mode? I get myself into trouble because what I think sounds good changes from day to day. I recently tried a new trick, installing a passive attenuator into my pedal board. Previously I kept the volume around...

I know this has been asked before, but I’m still not getting the P vs T thing. I have the Mark V 35 and I play Metal. As I understand it, the 10W mode is Triode while the 25/35 Watt is Pentode. I’m currently playing in 10 Watt to allow me to crank the master up more. I play on the xtreme...

I dialed it in last night on my 35 and it sounded amazing. I haven't been able to make the plunge yet and change all my settings, but it 100% works. Right now I still need a clean channel, so I'm sticking with Xtreme, but **** that channel 1 Crunch! (on xtreme I use the 10 Watt mode as it...

Check out this video for a kick *** setting on the channel 1 crunch mode. https://youtu.be/WMXPNSvR_EE I tried it out the other night and it blew me away. It sounds even better live than in this video. I’ve been playing on the extreme mode up till now, but this made me question that. Give...

Hi, thanks for this. I've owned the v:35 for about a year and I'm still tweeking it (it lives at my drummers house so I don't get to mess with it often). Is this mod easy to do? I have zero skills when it comes to this stuff. Where do you even order the tube from? If it's a quick pull out...

Has anyone encountered this? My Mark V 35 foot pedal channel switcher stopped working at practice last Friday. I hit the button, and both the green and red colors lit up, and it sounded like a muted version of both channels was trying to come through the cab. I unplugged the foot switch, and...

I am comparing the new Voodoolab dingbat vs the Pedaltrain pedalboards. This will be my first pedal board; right now everything is sitting on the floor. Currently I’m running a tuner, Wah, Phaser, OD, noise gate, and the large TC electronics delay pedal. They all run into my Mesa Mark V 35...
