Are you running the C90 speaker? It is more finicky than a V30 or EVM12L.

http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/pedals/cab-clone-simulator.html#gpm1_1 I checked out the specs and demo. It looks awesome! Any experience with these? Do you know which speaker cabs and speakers these are modeled after?

Which input jack do you put the cap across the lug? The guitar or the amp?

Thanks Dom- I have tried tweezers and tried to start a screw as well. The plastic is quite hard. I can't get a screw to go in. As for current, do you know how to drain it so I don't fry myself?

I was swapping the positions of the matched tube to try to extend tube life (since I mostly play on 10w) and one of my tubes would not go in. I noticed that the plastic lead (on the bottom center of the vacuum tube) had snapped off inside the socket. I have tried several methods to get it out...

How does this sound? I have been wanting to get this exact setup.

I tried the Mark V with the C90 at GC and thought it was the worst sounding amp I have ever heard (disclaimer: this was before I knew anything about dialing in the tone). If there had not been a 4x4 stack with v30's to plug into, I would have never touched one of these again. Here is a great...

Mark V plus a BBE 427 Pedal (LED based OD pedal) does a pretty good job for hitting that tone on Channel 2.

I had a Rothwell Love Squeeze and it was very quiet with nearly imperceptible tone coloration. They can be hard to find but well worth it. After my luthier stabilized my humbuckers by shimming them with wood so they would not vibrate, I found I did not have as much need for a compressor for...

Bluestoned1: Thanks for sharing on the RMC pedals. I am going to have to grab one since my antique Vox finally died. Have you tried running them at 18v? I emailed with Teese and he said they can be run at 18v, but are voiced for 9v. I am going to skip on the Box of Rock as the Distortron is...

Thanks for the post of the Blunderbuss Jb's 52. Nice big sound. Anyone use the Wampler Thirty Something? I figured out I am looking for a pedal to push the Boogie more into Marshall territory (JCM-800, think AC/DC Back in Black). I tried a ZVex Distrorton which pushed the amp into that sound...

The Stiletto sounds awesome! I could never get into Marshall's (though a lot of the best rock was made with them). The presence of the Stiletto says it all.

What are your settings on the Mark V to get the JCM 800 (or Mesa Stiletto) tone?

I am looking to fill out the board a bit with quality analog effects. I only have the Vapor Trail delay and love it. Do you have any clips you can share of the Blunderbuss?

Great recommendations. Are there any sound clips you have/know of for the Mark V with the Xotic EP Booster? Also, do you know of any bargains on them? They seem to hold their value really well. Anyone have experience with a good uni-vibe for the Mark V? Preferably all analog.

If you are running a C90, this could be difficult. V30 gives the edgier tones. Try running the MarkIIC+ mode at 45W (play with the normal/bright switch). Bring your EQ sliders up all the way and drop down your 2200hz down about 2/3. Crank the Channel 3 master to around 3 or 4 'o clock and start...

I switched from an original 1971 Fender Silverface Princeton to a Mark V. The pedals that worked well with the Princeton did not work with my Mark V: TS-808 Tube Screamer, EHX LPB-1, Boss ME-70 (digital multi-effects), Creation Audio Holy Fire OD. I am playing through a V30 with an LP. *TS-808...

Thanks!

I saw that Alex Lifeson of Rush is now a Mark V user. I read that he always has the power tubes cranked. I tried the cranking the master on all of my channels and turning down the gain and LOVED the tone. On Channel 2, I was able to get more convincing Led Zeppelin I tones. Does anyone know...

It looks like there is an issue with the household current when there is snow on the ground because the sound goes away with the snow.
