I have a captor X I use on stage and it's awesome. Perfect mic'd cab sound sent DI into the house and I use a QSC K12.2 on stage behind me getting the same signal so no big cab and mic to fool with. Having a bluetooth app on the phone is super handy on stage to make quick tweaks or just to get...

Unexpected car repairs have struck and I need cash so the MKV has to go. Amp has been my main gigging amp for about a year now and it's been flawless. As noted in the title, I've added a set of JJ's KT66 power tubes to the amp which have given it a slightly cleaner/less compressed bottom end...

Thanks it was my Tokai LS150 with sheptone kahanek signature PAF's.

Try setting that channel to the preset eq instead of sliders and then pull the depth knob back a little.

yeah I totally trust her. I know exactly nothing about tubes except you put em in the amp, witchcraft happens and you get awesome sounds. So it is a general rule of thumb with the V that it needs colder tubes because the mesa is biased hotter than usual?

I'm a big fan of Ruby EL34BSTR's and have 2 different matched pair laying around. I typically consult Laura at ValveQueen and she is advising against using the particular ones that I have which are rated on their labels as follows Tube 1 - PC: 49 Nr: 008 TC: 5900 Tube 2 - PC: 49 Nr: 421 TC...

you should try Variac mode and drop the channel wattages down to 45 watts. COMPLETELY changes the feel/characteristics of the sound. Reminds me a lot of my old JTM45 when it was being hit with a boost or dimed out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ea9KKuA_y0

Good to hear. I've got my first gigs with the V tomorrow and saturday night. I practiced with it Tuesday night and it was really impressive how naturally it sat in the mix without over powering anything.

Put the original tube back into V1. Also, where is the fx loop volume knob set. Turn it all the way up if you're using the loop. If you're not using the fx loop, try flipping the switch to disable it. The amp's volume will triple. I use my clean channel in tweed mode with the gain...

I've read what the manual and all that says but my ears tell me that it boost or cuts a certain portion of the low end. I use it to pull back some of the big low end on channel 2 in mark 1 mode.

I did quite a bit of tube swapping when I got mine and differnet tubes DO make a difference but once you start getting into the really high gain territory, you notice less of a difference than you would if you were primarily using the amp for pushed cleans or classic rock type sounds. My best...

I hear that. Big glass ain't cheap and all of my amps use em :oops: KT88's in my Splawn, 66's in the V and my jet city 100H (currently using the 6L6's that came with the mesa) sounds sooooo much better with the 66's. I got Laura at ValveQueen on speed dial :lol:

MK I mode is my go-to setting for channel 2. You have to approach it from an eq'ing perspective COMPLETELY differently than the other modes. I run mine with the EQ set like this (bass down, trebel/presence pretty high) I also have the slider eq off with the switch set to the preset mode as...

Try a set of JJ's KT66's. I am using a quartet of those in my V and it sounds massive.

This one was done with the crunch channel in mark I mode/fat setting. http://www.tonefinder.com/files/761412301771-mkV_mk4_jam.mp3 This jam track was done starting with channel 2 again at the same mark I settings but at about 1 minute in, I kick over to channel 3 in mark IV mode/triode...

Does anyone build custom front panels for the Mark V? I checked mesa's website and among all the random bits of hardware I didn't see a replacement front panel for the V. I want a basket weave panel like my buddy's mark IV has but I'm not confident in my abilities to try and cobble one...

Found one yesterday. Thanks for the offer though. Good price.

Looking for a MK V head in good shape (doesn't have to be perfect) with all the stuff that comes with it from mesa. Email me if you've got one. fastredponycar at gmail dot com

Still for sale?
