I have no idea what you wankers are talking about. I just want to know if the Mark 5 can do metal. And if it can, is it true bypass? I don;t want this amp mucking up the tone of my Keeley Metal Zone pedal.

My keeley modified Mark IIC+ is awesome. Will my keeley modified mark five sound the same? Will it deliver the goods. I just emailed mesa about the new Mark Morton keeley modified Mark 5 fleshlight custom. I can't wait to get it. I am number 1 on waiting list.

I'm in a Norwegian death metal tribute band. We play Abba covers and Nickelback exclusively. Should I buy this amp or get a vintage 1966 fender champ and a Boss Metal Zone pedal?

And can it do metal?

Yeah - at least 3g's to get into that amp line new - plus the wait list. I was playing on a used ODS 112 combo on consignment where the guy is asking $2100 for it. I made a lowball offer but he wouldn't budge. Which is a good thing because I am not about to sell the M5 and I don't need more amps...

It is everything I expected and more - BUT - I did just play on a FUCHS Overdrive Supreme and was blown away at how smooth and versatile that amp is with little to no tweaking. With everything at 12 O'clock on that amp it just purrs like butter. Little to no EQ needed. It is the ONLY amp I would...

I just picked up a new nova on flea-bay. Played with it a bit in the store and it seems pretty cool but they wanted way too much for it. I'm sure it will rock with the M5.

Stores are Bo-ring - and if you are looking for deals - craigslist has thankfully killed all the deals to be had on Sunset. Black Market Music was great for treasure hunting - but you are several years too late to see it. Anyhoo... Go get an LA Weekly and check out some crappy L.A. bands farther...

how does the compressor work in the loop? i always thought compression comes first on geetar or else it loses the attack and pumps.

Adding the new 1x12 wide-body ported cab changed the tone dramatically for the better and I don't think I can even play the combo without the extension cab now. I've already posted about it several times - but you should at least know that the sound difference of just the combo amp by itself and...

I'm looking at the Nova system. Thanks!

I only get pops in 10 watt mode and this is documented and explained in detail in the manual.

Can someone point me to a good pedal delay or analog chorus that will werk in the M5 effects loop? I am rethinking my effect sitch and want to see what others are doing for their delay/modulation needs. I have noticed that (obviously) placing time based effects in front of this amp sounds pretty...

All I can say is that with the combo amp - I think that this cabinet completes the sound I was looking for. I am totally satisfied. It is really a whole different dimension and depth to the sound. All the missing eq and bottom end fullness is now there and it really blends nicely. Maybe not the...

Without pedals I don't think that channel 2 sounds anything close to a marshall at all. I've only had 2 Marshalls in my day - a '78 JMP and an 83-84 JCM800 both of them heads into 4x12's. Maybe with EL34's in there it will sound different - but as it is - this amp is pretty far from Marshall...

I just called Mesa Hollywood and asked if there were any matching cabs for the Mark V combo and they said the new cabs had just arrived. So I ran down and bought one. Ab - So - Lutely!! :wink: But both of my Les Paul's sound killer on these settings as well. Since we are pretty much stuck...

That is the new wide cab for the Mark V's.

I just bought the matching Mark V cab and it is ported. It really does make the amp sing gives balls to the low end and adds a certain something to the overall sound on every channel. It is the total package. Gotta go, got a gig...

The new cab makes all the difference in the world. Me happy. :)

Channel 2 on the M5 is a blinding conundrum. First of all the Mark 1 is all gain all the time. It does sound good - but there is very little variance to the amount of gain. It is either OFF or on 7-10. There is no real variety there. Plus it is way more full sounding than anything on channel 3 -...
