    To loop, or not to loop?

    The TC Nova System does not allow to use 4 cable method. Which is a shame really.

    Do you like the reverb?

    Lets say its ajusted perfecty on clean FAT Ch 1 and you change to tweed you have to crank up the reverb (at the back) to compensate the loss of reverb. Even cranked to max in tweed you don't get that much of it out. With a pedal in the loop its more predictable and uniform.

    Do you like the reverb?

    I tried many times but I decided that or I don't like spring reverb or this one is a bit strange. It's almost like a tremolo/reverb I can hear some modulation if that is the normal spring behavior then I prefer digital verb :shock:

    What brand of EL34's have you tried in the Mark V?

    I installed inexpensive Chinese Shuguang EL34-B (supposedly Ruby Tubes!?) as a test two weeks ago and I'm keeping them in. No fizz just fine. Just rounder. I have little sonic memory when it comes time to compare subtle texture changes in sound but what I can say is I didn't have any irritating...

    Matching MarkV Cabinet

    I understand that a 1x12" Thiele (or widebody Thiele) would add bottom specially when high gain is dialed in. I am looking at replacing a 2x12" THD cab (3/4) with CL-80 by one of these 1x12 Mesa widebody Thiele 1x12 Mesa 3/4 2x12 Mesa 3/4 I like the sound I'm getting now but the speakers...

    4cables method problems

    Just got it checked and indeed when the MkV FX loop is inactive the signal that is sent back to the bOSS return jack will simply get to thepower stage and never get back to the multieffects. I would suggest to make sure you can follow the signal throught the FX chain within the GT-8 and that the...

    4cables method problems

    Well! Your connections are definitely alright. By flying over the GT-8 manual and it seems like the GT-10 where the external loop can be placed about anywhere in the FX-chain just double check its where it should be, next the external loop mode should be NORMAL so the signal returns after being...

    4cables method problems

    That is exactly how I use my GT-10. The only thing I could imagine is the FX is not active on the MkV. The whole setup is pretty quiet. The distortion introduces too much noise (IMO). I don't use the models. I also use the AMP switching feature. So I can go from one channel to the next using one...

    combo vs head

    They sold a lot of these Mark series combos in the last 30 years so I guess there are very good chances that it does what its supposed to do. I must of have a streak of bad luck with mine. Murphy's law type of things. And at about 68 lbs (for the standard combos not the hadrwood ones) they are...

    Volume/Reverb Jump When Switching to Tweed on Mark V

    Jump in volume is normal I think. As for the reverb it all but go away in Tweed I don't know why but it was mentionned by others as well. In Tweed I have to cut on the presence and treble to make it rounder. Its a great mode I like it a lot. I ended it up using it in place of fat because I set...

    Canadian Mark V? (Update)

    2350$ in Montreal for a head. They charge more for the combo. The difference depends on the cdn/us exchange rate. Expect a 150$ dif.

    mark v dims and cab shots

    Just a quick comment. If you want an exact (or very close) replicate of the original head dimensions you need to know that the reverb tank is actually installed in a big hole on the bottom piece of wood and you can see it between the rubber feet. There must be a space limitation reason for...

    Mark V - Effects Recommendations Needed

    From the schematics the reverb comes to play just before the respective channel masters which feeds the GEQ which then go to the FX loop.
