Thanks for your input again, however I missed the deal as he had another buyer and I really wanted to play it A/B with my 35. Oh well, I guess I don't know what I am missing and should focus more on playing than on gear lol. Will go into a shop and try the Mark V and JP-2C one day. (Feeling...

bandit, thx so much for your considered response, much appreciated. I own the Mark V:35 and it it great, however it does not have the bottom end thump that I loved with my JCM2000 100W head and 1960A. I am needing to make a decision tonight if I pull the buy lever on the Mark V 90w head to...

So am presented with the option to buy a Mark V 90w head brand new for about $1,000 cheaper than shop price. After a bit of reading I am concerned that it might be too technical to get some nice tones out of for an average Joe without an engineering degree...or is a lot of that hype and the...

Thx for the reply. I ended up buying an old Recto Solo 50W head with a horizontal 2x12 can so now I have a lot of options along with the 35 Amp and vertical 2x12. I will probably try out running a stereo rig with an ABY switch. Yet to try this Amp as currently on holidays so looking forward to...

I'm running the 35 head and 2x12 recto vertical cab but am disappointed in the overall body of sound compared to when I was using my (now sold 1960A quad). What are your thoughts on getting that full quad sound, the thumping bottom end. Can I get that out of any other speaker combo? Ideally I...

Thx Rocket. I was considering another 1x12 cab for a bit more spread but will try tweaking the settings before outlawing more coin. So it seems only I am struggling for volume with this amp and I didn't think my drummer is that loud compared to guys I used to play with. Would a rack mount...

The Fender is also tube and was sitting on about 5/10 and yes we were wearing ear plugs. The drummer is really loud. I was playing with the EQ on and off to ensure I wasn't scooped out but the gain was at 12 o'clock for Ch1 and about 1:30 for Ch2. I thought adding more gain will add more grit...

I've had my first Mesa being the Mark V:35 for about 4 months now home use only. On the two occasions I have jammed with another mate (90W Fender) and the drummer, I was completed drowned out. The 35 was cranked at 8.5 and I didn't want to push it harder. I was lost in the mix not once, but...

Same here, was on a bumpy dirt road and it sounded like a tin can banging around. My Marshall did the same.

Hi Guys, So my Mark V:35 amp and 2x12 vertical Recto (v30s) cab had its first outing on the weekend. My drummer from a prior band (who I have not played with in years) drowned me out to the point where I was embarrassed and moreso disappointed with the lack of volume my amp put out. I was...

Hi Guys, Just got my new 35W head as it has been a few years since I have played and as motivation to get back into i, I treated myself to this new head. Nearly bought the 25W but liked the extra features and was sold on extra headroom of the 25....not that I am gigging yet. Downsizing from a...
