I'm using an Xotic AC+ in the front of my MKV. While I totally agree with one of the previous postings about needing an overdrive pedal on a Rectifier (which is what I owned before the V) and not so much on the V, I love the versitility of the AC+. I like to use the lower gain side of the pedal...

Thanks Lester, I've been visiting the forum for well over a year now, I just never signed up cuz I didn't want any problems here at work. But you're right, I have learned lots from you guys. I'm only glad I can provide useless information in return... like there being a hole under my amp :wink...

Hmmmmm.... well, if the reverb tank is what sits at the very bottom of the amp, then yes! It does look rather tanky now that I think about it, but aren't we talking about tubes for reverb? Anyway, like I mentioned earlier... I don't know what any of the components inside the amp are, so I'm not...

... NO I'M NOT, in fact I'll take a picture of it when I get home and try to post it (notice I said try... I seem to have issues loading pictures up on forums). When I picked the head up I noticed there was something metallic underneath.. but I just figured it was some sort of metal plate. I...

Got my MKV head yesterday!! I got into work a bit early today so I can leave ASAP and spend some time with it. It sits beautifully on top of my recto 2x12 vertical cab though :P. Anyone notice a big ol' hole in the bottom of their head?? I wouldn't be able to name the part of the amp that's...

I too just got the call!! Good thing I get out of work in half an hour :D .

It's basically this: Cable 1 - Guitar to Multi-effects unit input. Cable 2 - Multi-effects unit send to amp guitar input. Cable 3 - Amp loop send to Multi-effects unit return. Cable 4 - Multi-effects unit output to amp loop return. I'm not too savy on how all this stuff works, I just know...

Hey Capn', did you return your multi effects unit yet? Back when I used to own a Triple Rectifier I ran a GT8 for my effects via "four cable method" and was able to run the effects I wanted in the front of the amp (compressor, overdrive, wah) and run the rest of the effects in the loop (volume...

Talked to the dealer I'm getting my MKV head through and he said it should be here by this friday (6/12). FYI: I'm here in Colorado, and I believe the amp was ordered shortly after NAMM.. not sure though, the dealer had already placed the order for it before I put any money down.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one that feels this way :wink:

The guy I bought mine from said Mesa was sending the initial batch of heads last week... but he couldn't tell me whether my order would be among that initial batch :cry: . Reading the MkV manual does help a bit, but still, the wait is killing me! Has anyone received news from their dealer??

Dude! Thank you so much for posting that vid! Not only did I get to hear some metal through the MkV... but I got to see what it'll look like sitting on top of my recto vertical 2x12, and what it can sound like with my own CU24!! ... now if only I could play like you :( Looking forward to...

The reason I use it in the loop is because when I do volume swells, I like the amount of gain to remain the same throughout the volume sweep... as opposed to the decrease in gain you get by only lowering the guitar signal being fed to the amp if you were to run it in front. Also, and this might...

Dang... well, thank you very much for the explanation. Now I have to see if I can trade the one I have for one that's 25k, cuz now that you mention it, I have noticed how the volume doesn't increase gradually. I just figured it's how the pedal worked. I guess that's what I get for asking for...

At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot... Could someone please tell me what the cons would be in running a 250k resistance volume pedal in the loop of this amp? I have the 250k version of the pedal and plan to use it when my Mark V head arrives, but I wasn't aware there would be an issue...

That totally bit me in the @ss... I was hoping to take it for a test drive when I got out from work today :cry: WHY RYJAN!?! WHY!!??? I guess it's back to the waiting game :D

National Sound and Speaker has a combo in stock! I'm not affiliated with them in any way (and I hope it's okay that I post this info here)... but I called them this morning to put some money down on a head, and the dude there said he had a combo in the store and that it ROCKS! :twisted: Cheers.

This Honda never had AC to begin with, my next car will have it for sure though... cuz I feel so bad having my little girl cook in her car seat whenever we go out :( ANYWAY, from what I heard on this video and another one from NAMM (some dude playing on a single coil guitar), the first two...

Ha! That's for sure, if anything you guys are just gonna' make my girlfriend beat me when she finds out I used my downpayment for an amp instead :shock:. Before finding this video I was pretty interested in the amp, but after hearing that demo plus the recent news & MIPA award stuff... it just...

You're very welcome. Anything to help these guys out with their waiting anxiety! :lol: No joke, now it's got me thinking whether I should get myself a better car... or put some money down on one of these puppies. You'd think at 25 I'd know how to get my priorities straight, but I don't.
