I just pulled up your manual. It appears there are many changes from the V1 to the V2. You now have separate jacks for controlling the solo feature and the channel switching. For me, I control this via my GT-100. It sends a signal through the standard mono instrument cable to the amp, and that...

I have the version 1 Solo 50, and the foot switch is actually a stereo foot switch. The tip and ring will each control the solo boost and channel switching. I spoke with Gary Noble at Mesa about doing the amp switching with my GT-100, and he told me it would not work, as the GT-100 amp control...

Thanks Shredding... I will do that. I do not have spare tubes but can order some from Mesa today.

Hey guys, We were at rehearsal this weekend and after a break, I came back to my Mark V, channel 3 in Mark IV mode. It almost sounded like I had blown a speaker, or had a short in a cable. If I struck the chord harder, then it came through a little stronger (the signal) but it just sounded...

Hi Guys, I was wondering, does anyone know if I can use a single, mono cable to do channel switching? I only need to switch between my Channel 1 Clean sound and my Channel 3 Rhythm sound on my Mark V. I just do not use Channel 2 that often and my new Boss GT-100 can be connected via the 4 Cable...

Hey rocknroll9225, I saw the units you were talking of a little more in depth. It looks like this little baby will work for me: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LLS2?device=c&network=g&matchtype=&gclid=CPqy99Hmn74CFceCfgodsn8AwQ So, it has two channels and I can use one for the send and...

It really depends of which James sound by album you like. Personally, I would not even consider the first two albums, as I really did not like the sound. But, from Master of Puppets up until the Black album, James was using a Mark II C+ (rewired to be just a preamp) in conjunction with either a...

Thanks Rocknroll9225... I think I love you! LOL. I saw the box you linked. I already have this little bad boy, http://www.guitarcenter.com/Live-Wire-SPDI-Passive-Direct-Box-with-Attenuation-Pad-103814505-i1372940.gc and I also bought an adapter to go from XLR to 1/4. Also, in the VG, I can...

Hey guys, I have another topic but no one seems to have an answer for my dilemma. I also contacted Mesa Boogie and I cannot for the life of me find out what the level is coming out of the send on the effects loop of the Mark V. Trying to interface my VG-99 with my Mark V via the effects loop...

Hey guys, I have gotten a few answers on this and do not want to take a chance with my amp. What I am trying to achieve is to hook my Roland VG-99 into the effects loop of my Mark V. I have been told there might be some impedance issues. So, what I need to do is go from the Mark V send, to the...

Thanks Steven, I do have an offer from an international buyer in Brazil, but i have not shipped there before and need to do a little research... keeping my fingers crossed. I can almost taste my Mark V... Barrett "Rockguy66" Hamilton

Hey Guys, SOLD SOLD SOLD I am getting rid of my Roland JC-120. This thing has never been gigged, it has remained in my room and was used in a smoke free environment at low volume levels as I live in a condo. It was only used for the clean channel. This amp is immaculate, no tears or scuffs on...

Hey guys, this item has been SOLD I have made up my mind to sell my Mesa Boogie Quad Preamp and my Mesa Boogie 295 Simul Class Power Amp so I can move into a Mark V head. Pictures can be seen on the link below, shipping can be determined by your actual address, but due to the weight of each...

Hey guys, I have a Quad Preamp and it came with a FU-2A footswitch, yet I have the older Quad that requires a FU-2 footswitch. Does anyone know how I could convert that to work with the FU-2 port? All of the FU-2 switches I have seen are going for almost as much as I paid for the Quad! Any...

Hi Aart, The links seem to b dead links, does anyone else have the PDF files or the links they can repost? Thanks, Barrett "Rockguy66" Hamilton
