From reading other threads, the problem I encountered twice at a gig last Saturday is pretty common: amp is on, all lights work, but no sound. I tried everything short of changing tubes - but eventually had to leave the amp off for a couple minutes then fired it back up - then everything came...

This happened to me too!! On Saturday night - second time gigging with the amp - twice during the show it died. All lights were on but no sound. I had to turn off the amp and couple of times before it started working again. Very frustrating. Would a bad pre-amp tube make it cut out...

Set the combo on top of a Avatar 2X12 traditional cab loaded with Hellatone 60's (V30's)

Congrats, Deadfall. I use my combo with a 2X12 and it sounds awesome (though I was suprised how good it sounds by itself as well). Adding the 2X12 adds just the little bit extra.

+1 - I ordered the two sets of the Mesa El34's and they sound great.

I just swapped out the 6L6's for EL34's and I must say I like the 34's much better. I was always a Marshall guy in the past so maybe my ear is just more accustomed to the mid-grind of the EL34's and, therefore, sounds better to me. To me the highs seem less piercing and the lows less boomy...

Thanks, niilz. Did just that and it sounds great. thanks again.

I have 2 sets of matched Mesa EL34's on their way to me and should be here this morning. I want to swap all 4 out in my Mark V to see what the tonal differences are compared to the 6L6's. Is there any special way to change them - meaning should one pair of matched tubes go in the two middle...

Thanks, MesaGod666. It seems to be ok now. Reset everything to normal setting and turned back on a few times and gradually brought up to gig volume and it didn't happen again. I'm hoping it's ok and will keep breaking it in slowly. If I can get away with it, I'll fire her up later today...

I just got my brand new - out of the box Mark V combo. The best amp I've ever heard. However, something strange just happened. I was messing around with the settings - and specifically - the Solo setting. I have the amp on 90 watts / channel 3 / Mark IV setting. I inadvertantly had the Solo...

I was totally shocked on how good it sounded.....last night I jammed some classic rock stuff with some friends for the first time in my "new" jam room. Used channel 1 on the normal setting (not "pushed"), cranked the gain all the way and had the most incredible cruchy-classic rock tone. Used a...

It's great to be here! I've always wanted one and finaly did it - yesterday I bought my first Mesa Boogie. A Triple Rectifier. I always thought I was a Marshall guy but NOT anymore. I plugged in the Triple Rec last night, put the settings to the "sample" settings in the user manual and...
