I remember reading your post on the G System forum about that. :wink: I would definitely recommend giving the Sunday driver a go. I found it made a huge difference & allowed me to use the insert loop with no noticeable impedance mismatch problems. It also allowed me to reduce my input Gain on...

I use a Lehle Sunday driver as a pre input buffer & it makes a big difference. I now have no loss of tone & am able to set the input gain on the G to 0 db. The mini amp gizmo & MkV Custom cable is a good investment as it switches channels instantly & also allows you to switch all the amps...

Yes the loop can be switched on & off by the G System in the same way as it can with the Mark V footswitch but only if you use something like the mini amp Gizmo to switch this via midi as there is no TS jack on the amp for this. However I don't really think that is what you are getting at...

Euro 220V versions available here: I got one! :mrgreen: http://www.projectmusic.net/mesa-boogie-mark-5-512-c.asp

How did it go?? :?:

Yep! Paul at Zilla cabs, I have 3 of his cabs. http://www.zillacabs.com/index.php

Here’s how I did it! :) Remove the front grill as it makes it easier to pull the amp out. Unscrew the screws on the handle & remove it as the bolts are slightly proud on the other side & can catch on the amp chassis when you pull it out. Remove the tube guard if you still have it fitted...

Better with this Logo I think!?? :mrgreen:

Decided to get my Mark V re-skinned to match my Carvin Head & Cab. I think it looks great! Also a small tip I worked out when doing this to make removing the amp for tube swap or whatever easier. Snip around 2-3 mm off the corner of the metal plate on top of the reverb tank in the bottom...

Of course not normal, this was an old post that was resolved elsewhere. :wink: http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=56312

I found that even at bedroom volumes setting all 3 channels to 90 W Variac mode produced the most pleasing tones to my ears at least. :mrgreen:

Easier to just take the head out of the chassis. Once you've done it a couple of times it's a breeze. :)

After my protestations Thomann have now agreed to replace the fualty probe free of charge.......as a good will gesture so they say. :wink:

I take on-board what you are saying but I also tried the TAD gear on my Carvin Amps which i'm pretty sure are compatible with the TAD gear & it clearly has some sort of fault. Disappointingly I got no response at all from TAD.....but I did get a response from Thomann the online retailer who...

Having lived with the amp for a while I'm now starting to get to grips with it. One thing i've noticed is there is a huge difference in the way the amp behaves once you switch all 3 channels to 90 Watts. Really opens everything up & what's more when switched to Variac mode it still sounds...

Thomann accepted the return & will replace it for me. :D Result! :mrgreen:

I am using the G System as I said & am very pleased with it. You can check out my other recent posts on the subject. The G System has great effects & works well with the Mark V but you will most likely need to invest in some additional hardware (Buffers, Hum Eliminators, amp switcher) to get it...

I'm using the G System but I also have the TC Flashback Delay pedal. It sounds great in the Loop of the Mark V. Very transparent & versatile pedal. It has stereo capability, can be set to either true or buffered bypass & also has a Kill Dry facility for use in a parallel loop. Competiticely...

Really like that tone Phil! :wink: Tweaked it a little to my taste but think will be using that a lot! Not experimented much with Mark IV mode on Chan 3 so far but I like it! :mrgreen:
