Well, I had questions which were more or less similar on this post: http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=63444 From my experience with V30s (in a Marshall 4X12 cab), they are perfectly able to handle a wide range of tones. You will certainly not get horrendous cleans and crunches...

Thanks all for the inputs! There seems to be quite a lot of people out there not bothering about the "closed vs open back and different speakers" thing for their mark V and getting great sounds and fun out of them. Thinking about it, I saw Petrucci live a couple of months ago and I didn't think...

Still trying to find information but without any results so far. Quite tempted to go for the 2X12 road king but I would really like to have feedback from someone who could tell me if when using the closed back V30 on its own, it sounds as good as the regular 2X12 rectifier. Hope someone will...

I am thinking of getting either a Rectifier 2X12 or a Roadking 2X12 for a Mark V After checking Haggerty's music comparison of both, I lean towards the rectifier for the high gain sounds, which are really important to me. In this context, both speakers at the same don't do it for me as it seems...

Following some searching and screamingdaisy's comments, it seems I will unlikely be really happy with a 1X12. The difference between an oversized 1X12 and most of Mesa's 2X12 is small enough for me to consider upgrading, and yet, the slightly larger cab should be a plus. The horizontal 2X12's...

Thanks screamingdaisy. That is crystal clear. Checking this forum, I have also become interested in Port City's 1X12 OS. I had never heard of this brand before but it does seem to deliver both a large, non-boxy sounds, while still being very compact. Plus I quite like the closed back design for...

Thanks for this very detailed answer. What do you think explains the RA 1X12 outperforms the RA?

Hello, I can't try those cabs for a Mark V head and have a hard time deciding between both. Has anybody have experience with the two? For the high gain sounds, the front ported / closed back seems a better bet, but the open back may have the edge for fuller sounding cleans and crunches...

Thanks: It turned out to be the 12AX7 as you guessed. Great sound up and running again. :D

Hi, My 2:50 has been behaving strangely recently. A few minutes after I power it up, the guitar sound is replaced by a loud buzz/hum that persists even when the volume of both channels is down to zero. I have tried powering off the last piece of gear before the power amp, a G-Major multi...

When I bought my studio preamp second hand, there was a strange honking sound when I moved it around. I opened it and the reverb was loose. I checked the spring and they were old and weary. I ended up fixing the reverb unit with some double side sticky tape and it sounds fine. Great reverb...

2 studio pres could be an option since I run my rig through a GCX. Why not! I am still debatting on the TA tough.

Hi, I have just bought a 2:50. I use it with my ADA MP-1 classic. I was previously using it in the return loop of a marshall jubille amp. The amp is a bit different from other marshall in the sense that the EQ is post loop. So even with all controls at 12, there was some corrections implied...

Thanks I'm sure the triaxis is a great piece of gear, but have you tried the studio pre specifically? :D

Hello, The only piece of Mesa Gear I own is the studio pre. I use it along a Randall RM4 that gives me amazing marshall and rectifier tones (Grail module). The studio pre gives me two things: - A clean sound (all four RM4 modules are overdrive/hi-gain) - An incredible classic rock rhytm lead...
