    Comparing ESP to Jackson guitars through the mark V.

    I always hate when someone gives a guitar a bad review without actually spending time with the instrument.....so, I wanted to give the hetfield a chance before responding. First off, yes it does have the het set in it. I've spent a couple weeks on both guitars. The Snake I tried different...

    Comparing ESP to Jackson guitars through the mark V.

    Well just as an update.....I went ahead and bought the LTD snakebyte. Supposed to be a high end LTD with a bigger body than the explorer. I was outta other options with ESP. So I ordered it on a Friday, and on Saturday the guy with the USA Jackson texted and said he'd take my offer. Needless to...

Between the 18 volt mod on both guitars, few wahs.... I gotta carry a briefcase of 9 volts. Lol. Glad ya got it figured out...

    Comparing ESP to Jackson guitars through the mark V.

    They are both fixed bridge.....an actually both have EMG's.....every guitar I own has actives an I'm just really missin the tone of a passive pickup. So I think I'm gonna throw passive's in it anyway. Well, I went to guitar center and they had an LTD ex50. I assume the body is the same ex...

    Comparing ESP to Jackson guitars through the mark V.

    So this may not be amp related, but I know there's some tone junkies in here, so I'd just like a couple opinions. I'm looking at the kv2t Jackson neck thru US model on ebony and an ESP explorer with a set neck on rosewood. Both with EMG actives and obviously mahogonany body's. I personally love...

    Mark V and a CryBaby not right!!!

    Def check out the wah. I have not used the original cry baby but I do have both a 535q and a cantrell wah. While the cantrell has a great almost vocal tone through the mkV, I doesnt have the tone pallets that the 535q does and at times sounds tinny compared to the 535. ALSO, check where you are...

    What the hell.....this is ridiculous.

    Well I played on it for the rest of the month. The first week I had issues like I was explaining.....and since then it's played beautifully. However, I figured if I was buyin one used, I at least wanna have a good bit of factory warranty left. Also I kinda had cab envy when I was playin on the...

    A quick review after about 3 days with the Mark V.

    So it's 5 am now.....an I've been playing this amp for going on 18 hours straight.....I couldn't not get on here and praise this piece of machinery. I was hesitant to pick this thing up as I heard it was diffiicult to dial, it takes a bit of refining but it does things to develop your ear that...

    What the hell.....this is ridiculous.

    Thanks so much for getting back right away! I have no idea why my phone isn't working. It's the one I called from an the one I'm using for posting here. It's hard to test cause its an intermittent problem. Had about 4-5 hours of continuous play without it happening again. It happens 3 times in a...

    What the hell.....this is ridiculous.

    Called guitar center and they said they would send it in for a repair. However I'm not waiting 2-3 weeks. Got a call into mesa too. I was on channel 3 when it happened, extreme on 90 watt. Switched to channel 2 and there was still nothing but a faint sound of the guitar. Switched modes and...

    What the hell.....this is ridiculous.

    So I been playing on it about 4 hours and it did it again but came back out of it. But I just have to say.....I am head over heels in love with this guitar amp. I played for enough years to where I can truly appreciate the subtleties this amp offers. I am in tone heaven....if only I can figure...

    What the hell.....this is ridiculous.

    Just switched from triode to pentode and it came back on again. Switched back to triode and it stayed full volume. After years of junk amps and no problems this is a very disappointing start to this relationship.

    What the hell.....this is ridiculous.

    So after months of paying on my beautiful new Mark V I finally took it home. Played for roughly 45 minutes, and it pops and cuts out. Like just dies. I can hear the guitar coming through but barely. Switch to other channels, same thing. I keep messin around with it and about 3 minutes later it...

    So everyone may not be as happy as me, but....

    I'm excited as hell.....I finally took the plunge. Contemplated long and hard and was a bit gun shy of the Mark V because I've heard there is a decent learning curve that comes with it.......but, I'm gonna spend the time as I've heard spectacular things about this amp. I'm playing through two...

    Mark V IIC+ Alice in Chains

    Not to resurrect this old thread, but saw the Alice reference and wa wondering if you had much luck getting it dialed. I have a Blackstar that I'm trading in for a Mark V in a couple weeks and I'm worried about lag time while I try to figure my amp out. I know there's a mountain of sounds in...

    Can you swap a Mark V out of a combo into a head easily?

    So I'm having a hard time deciding on the combo vs head. I have money down on a combo at GC for a great price. But the only thing I thought I felt at the store is that some of the thunder from my active pickups just didn't come through the way it does on my Peavey valveking 212. I hate the...

    Is the Mark V too much?

    To add to this, I've played acoustic for 10-15 years. Always had an electric but just never really concentrated on dialing a sound on electric. The past year has been all electric....I, like you play a wide range....any style. I love metal but I love clean, blues and dark mellow. I have played...

    Need help fellas.....do I drop the cash and buy a mark V

    Thanks for the response......I bit the bullet and went for it. Put some money down on it. I thought it was a pretty solid price, but again a I don't know these amps which was why I came here. He said he could do 1499 plus tax. The amp is literally brand new, still has the paperwork and stickers...

    Need help fellas.....do I drop the cash and buy a mark V

    So.....this is my first post. I've been playing on a peavey valveking 212 for years. I've never liked the sound but I've been more of an acoustic player. The band I'm in is requiring alot more electric on my end, sooo I need to get....my sound. I know y'all know what I'm talking about. I've...
