    Help identify head

    It has a black dot over the power outlet, and the first pot is labeled Volume 1 instead of just Volume means its a 1985 "Black Stripe." The serial#s are weird, I've seen 1986 Purple Stripe combos in the 17xxx range. If it went all these years with 4×6l6s in it then it's a 60/100w, the new tubes...

    Most over priced Mesa you have ever seen

    I saw someone asking $15k for a Rev C Dual Rec around 6 months ago, and currently there are two Rev Ds at $9k+ on Reverb

    Why Are Mark Vs So Expensive?

    They weren't that bad in price when I bought mine, but that was 10 years ago and they were $2250. More than a 6505, 5150III, or JVM, but cheaper than Bogners, Engls, or other comparable amps. Now a V:35 is $2250 and the 90w is $3150, most of it is attributable to inflation, and it wouldn't...

    Mark V No No's!

    Learned this one the hard way, mine is an early model so it wasn't in the manual.

    HELP NEEDED With Mark V purchase

    You're definitely going to want to download the Owners Manual from Mesa. The way the EQ works on these amps takes some getting used to, the manual helps figure out how and why to set it that way.

    Problems with your Mark V...it's you.

    The pick attack take is interesting. I don't pick super hard and have never had an issue with the amp, but it is a very good amp for keeping things tight when hitting hard even in low tunings. I have also noticed that this amp is much more sensitive to cab/speaker selections than many others.

    Anyones faceplate letters rubbing off like Mark V?

    I didn't know this was an issue, so far haven't had that issue on either my ED or MkV, but I'll definitely keep an eye on it now

    The one tone I can’t seem to get

    I thought that Edge in 45w with the tube rectifier, gain low volume high, but my idea of a blues tone may be a little different (and I might have had El34s at the time). Nowadays I run a clean boost always on and get that out of channel 1 on Fat w/Bold on

    IM A PICKUP NOOB HELP!

    Idk if you found something yet, but I'm going to recommend using a "lower" output bridge pickup in the neck. For instance Dime used a 59b instead of a 59n in slot of his guitars, I also know of a couple of guys who used a Screamin' Demon with good results.

    Whats the deal with EL34 class tubes in the V

    Yeah, my 2012 didn't have that bit about the Variac so I ended up blowing the tubes and burning up the grid resistors, took about 9 months for it to happen though. There are probably some El34s that can handle higher voltages and be fine, but if I ever switch back to El4l34s I'll just use the...

    So, what amps do you own?

    Primarily use a MkV or Electra Dyne, occasionally use my Marshall JCM900 50w Dual Reverb and Supro 1600 Supreme. Also own a Marshall Sl5, a Peavey 3120 and Windsor studio

    Opinions on Peavey XXX?

    I used to use a Peavey 3120 years ago, same amp different cosmetics and shipped with El34s instead of 6l6s. It's a good amp certainly enough gain for what you want to play on either of the gain channels. Clean channel is bland, but that's not what the amp is really for. It's also very reliable...
