Sounds pretty killer. Can't wait to try it myself. I too have been playing on Channel 2 for crunch, but have weaned myself off of Extreme. I think we have a tendency to want to go to the most saturated channel. But this video proves that sometimes less is more.

Thanks for that explanation. Makes total sense, and makes me feel much better about what I was noticing. Guess I should read the manual :).

I found that too with my Mark V 25. I get much more response with the EQ sliders. Didn't notice much tonal difference with the tone knobs on channel 2, except for the bass knob. I just posted in the V 25 tone thread that on Channel 2 with gain turned up past 12 o' clock, having the bass knob...

I've been experimenting with it all the way down and up to maybe 9 o'clock. Doesn't make much difference between the two. I get better bass response from the first 2 sliders on the EQ. Spoke with a buddy of mine who's had a Mesa for years, and he said that's common for Mesa's and that he plays...

On a separate topic, on Channel 2, my low strings palm-muted sound real muddy. To fix it, I have to turn the bass knob all the way down. I can use the bass on the EQ and it sounds good, but wonder why I have to have the bass knob all the way down. I'm using gain around 2:00-3:00. Wonder if...

I swapped out the V2 today. I hope I swapped the correct one. Check out the photo below. The diagram from my manual doesn't match my amp layout. I have the amp facing the same direction of the diagram, with the front of the chassis at the top, and the 2 power amp tubes at the bottom. Based...

Yes, that was a typo. I had to check my order email from Sweetwater to confirm. Definitely 12AT7. Thanks for the advice. I'll get to know the amp for a while before swapping. I'm enjoying it so much as is, I'm in no rush to make improvements. Just heard everyone here gush about the swap, I...

New member here. Just bought a Mark V 25 last night, first time owning a Boogie. Won't gush about how great the amp sounds, as you already know. So excited to spend the weekend getting to know it. Read through this thread and already have my Mesa 12AX7 on order to put in the V2 position...
