What he described is not odd, it's exactly what has to be done for most pedals to work in Mesas old ****** parallel fx loops. There's a reason they dropped them in the new reborn rectos and switched over to serial loops. Parallel loops suck. Thankfully TC is kind enough to offer a killdry...

Laney AOR

Yes. And I'm saying that as a proud Mesa owner.

Extreme should be a little louder and more bassy and not as tight at Mark IV mode. I never use it.

TS9 and delay. It's still never going to give you a liquid lead tone of a Mark.

No OD needed with my Mark V but I find a Tubescreamer ESSENTIAL for my Triple Tec else it just sounds dull and muffled. Rectifier really benefits from an OD IMO.

Can someone explain how I would get my g major 2 to switch all 3 channels on my Mark V? What cables go from the Major to the V (other than loop send/return obviously)? Are these standard cables found at guitar center or special order type stuff? Can the g Major turn the EQ on and off?

Does Mesa recommend using the channel switching relays on a G-System/Major to switch channels on the Mark V?

Did you have to buy the extra $70 cable to make it work? Is there any lag when changing channels?

Have you tried the Bigner red pedal? It's the only distortion pedal that really took me by surprise. It actually feels like a real amp.

Sounds great. What's your settings and other effects/boosts? ...I only see a JVM btw, lol

That diagram shows the GCX turning the loop on and off. The Mark V doesn't have external loop switching does it?

A Marshall is always going to cut better than a Mesa.

I love my Mark V for bedroom playing but if I were playing with a drummer again I'd go back to a JCM 800. The Mark sounds beautiful in recordings or alone but I just doesn't see it cutting like an 800. Of course I haven't played in a band setting since I got it so take it for what it's worth. My...

I ordered it less than a year ago. I have the invoice somewhere around here. How much are they now?

That doesn't sound right. I ordered a whole new head shell include the diamond plate for my triple rec for $299.

Yep, V30's and I play all channels equally. Just compared to my JCM 800 and Triple Rectifier, the Mark V sounds fantastic at TV volumes whereas the other two go from Zero to someone's going to call the cops just by looking at the volume knob and wishing to turn it.

The Mark V is the BEST low volume tube amp I've ever played. And I'm playing through a full stack.

Too much gain or is the pedal just adding unwanted noise?

Just a guess here but I imagine the complexity of the amp is outside the scope/comfortability of most modders. If you're going to soup up an engine you'd pick a Mustang, not a 300ZX.
