Yeah I know. GAS is a funny thing. It'll get ya when you least expect it. But I'm not 22 anymore and quite frankly I have all the amps I could ever want. Marshall, Mesa, and 6 Fender tube amps. I feel complete and it's a **** good feeling. I remember when I was a young struggling college...

That's what I used to do when I owned my DC-5 head. I ran a Radial Tonebone Hot British distortion pedal (old version) thru the clean channel. Amazing Marshalls tones. I miss that amp and regret selling it. I just had a ***** of a time dialing in the drive channel for anything other than...

I just got the Mark V 90 watt head last week. Struggled w the decision to get the V35 vs the V90 for about a month. Finally decided to get the big boy and won an eBay auction for a mint condition 2014 Mark V 90. I'm still in "floating on air" mode. I have 11 great tube amps including a...

Yeah I decided to get the v1 and v2 spax7 preamp tubes from Mesa. While I was out on their web site I also got a new v1 long tube shield which I mangled the other day trying to reinstall it. Once I used a small flashlight and a small dentist type mirror I could see how the shield nubs were...

"My latest problem is the way loud Hiss/Hum on channel two. Can't live with it so I bought an MXR Noisegate with no luck. I hooked it up to my pedal chain and it does help there a bit but that's not my problem. I need channel 2 high gain to quiet down and the MXR helping very little if any...

Cool thanks man.

Just curious if you ever solved this riddle? I'm very close to picking up a Mark V (not sure which version yet 90 watt or 35). And that tone you describe "It’s that vintage low-gain, smooth transition into breakup, clear upper mids, for-lack-of-a-better-word ‘blues’ tone." is definitely...

I sold my mint condition 1x12 thiele cab with the 200 watt EV spkr in it (including the $40 Mesa slip cover and the original hang tag) for $375. Thing was a tank. Weighed a ton. Incredible low end. Think you did well in that deal (assuming you can fix the speaker ok ;)

Wow. Surprised to read this. I've been considering buying a new Mesa head and from everything I've heard online (especially some of the Andy Timmons videos), the Lonestar was high on my list. Not sure if I'll sell my DC-5 head or not........but wanted something with a more useable lead...

You can see most of my gear on my web site below. It's a little outdated. Since a created the site I sold my Fender Prosonic combo, bought a Peavey Classic 30 and another 1x12 blonde Fender closed back cab, a Fender G-DEC amp for home practice, and nabbed a 2001 Gibson SG Supreme in midnight...

Great amp tone (I love my DC-5!). Cool site....and cool sounding band. I dig it.

I've got a Boss NS-2 on my pedal board so it gets used with all of my amps, including my DC-5. It works really great for me, no noise whatsoever regardless of which channel I leave on...or even if I leave on a distortion or OD pedal thru the drive channel. The funny part is that I don't have...
