Yeah, 25W amps have 1A fuses and it scales from there. 50W-2A, 100W-4A.

That was impressive! (The detailed help)

The currently shipping footswitch style is more rounded with flush sides, like the TC-50 footswitch. Sweetwater lost my original footswitch when trouble-shooting a reverb issue. Being the good folks they are they did replace it with a new one, which was the newer rounded style. The only issue I...

Just curious, do you have a youtube channel and did you do some Mark VII demo videos? I remember seeing a few videos about the amp being great until played live with a band. Sounded similar to your experience.

Try setting bass knob to 9 o’clock, treble at 1:30 and mids at maybe noon or so. Assuming your gain is at 2 to 4 o’clock or so. Engage the EQ. On the EQ create a shallow ‘V’ pattern. Try the far left slider up towards max, try second slider between mid and top line, center slider between mid and...

So, are these tubes available anywhere? “V3,V4,V5,V6 = NOS Mesa Chinese square foil getter tube from 1989 thru 1990. Aka Ruby Chinese Military Grade square foil getter 12AX7A. “ Thanks for the great info. Glad you got your V90 working. I seem to remember in the other ‘V4 Saturation mod’ thread...

Yeah, I hear you. LOL My band is lucky to even get a sound man sometimes. Often it’s me going out into the crowd for a listen and then motioning to the drummer for what needs adjusting since he has the laptop mixing board. And yeah, smaller venues we don’t mic stuff so it is a challenge to get...

OK…you guys are 2 to 3 months on. Is the honeymoon with the VII over or can you still not get enough? I’m obviously putting off the inevitable here…I’m jonesin’ pretty bad for a VII and it’s probably only a matter of time. But, it is a very big spend and I want to just see how others view it...

Mr. Smith was onto something, in my opinion. If I get a VII I’ll miss the SOLO and the OUTPUT (to a lesser degree) that the V has. But ultimately tone is king and tone is comprimised a bit with these extra controllers. I haven’t ever read here that people liked the amp tone better with the EFX...

I really like the 10 W class A mode. Glad they added it! I use this mode the most, all the time actually, except at gigs. It sounds lush and gooey and not as woody as the other wattages. Good power tube breakup as well when playing low gain, high volume.

Maybe you're already aware, but the 10W mode uses the two left tubes (as viewed from the rear) and the 45W mode uses the inner tubes. Of course 90W mode uses all 4 power tubes. So, when mixing colors between inner and outer a cocktail of colors is actually being used for the 10W mode and the 45W...

I appreciate the insights on the Mark VII. I may have to try one out at some point...

Thanks for the great breakdown and comparison. Really helpful. If I do get a VII I’d miss the SOLO function a lot for gigging. The channels can be balanced easy enough, so the lack of an OUTPUT dial isn’t too big of a deal…but another clean signal boost pedal in the loop would be needed to...

Yowzers. Impressive rig!

No, the V:90 crunch does not have a mid-boost like the V:25 (boosted when above 12 o'clock on the MID dial).

Any thoughts on the VII? How are you liking or disliking it?

Thanks for the info on the Mark V:90 gain stages for each channel. Still curious how the VII compares to the V for clean, crunch and IIc+ and IV! Seems a lot of the initial hype on the VII has died down now.

Not sure about your first question as I don’t know Marshalls very well. If HARD BYPASS is engaged you cannot use the FX LOOP at all. No signal will flow out of the FX SEND (regardless or footswitch or back panel rotary dial setting). Is that what your question was? HARD BYPASS means none of...

Over the years (since 2012) I've changed a lot of V1 tubes while the amp is in chassis (head unit). Takes a bit of practice. Somehow I broke only one in all these years when getting that long tube shield put in place. A few pins have been bent, but they weren't too bad and could be made straight...

Fellas…I would love it if y’all got a Mark VII and put it up against you V:90’s. Why? Becsuse it would save me a bit of coin to so the same! Some of what you describe is what I’ve experienced on my late 2011 V:90 (single owner). I’m not as ‘on the outs’ with it as you guys but I must admit the...
