I found that lowering the treble on the preamp to 0-2, then boosting the presence to 6-7 or so seems to make the amp open up for more of a metal tone. Just boost the highs on the EQ and Presence, and lose them on the preamp, and it makes the tone seems a bit more focused, which is better for...

I would certainly only use a single SPAX7 in the first gain stage, which you've done now. Try a matched Mullard in the Phase Inverter. Even the new production ones sound solid in the PI position.

I've always been a fan of the Stiletto cabs. The entire series rocks my socks. The 4x12's are a lot more focused sounding to me than the Recto sized cabs. Glad you found your mate!

This should be a fairly simple maneuver, once you open the controller. It's just a matter of finding a proper housing for it and moving all the components. There isn't much you can hurt in here, but it will void your warranty, that much is certain. You just have to take the buttons off and move...

Is the speaker mounted on the front or back of the baffle? You'd see the lip from the back if it was rear-mounted, but if it's front mounted, you'll need to take the grill off the front. Normally these cabs are rear mounted, but the previous owner may have wanted to change that. I would inspect...

I come from the Devin Townsend school of Recording, meaning I rely on a Wall of Sound (and a wall of reverb). I record 4-6 tracks, depending upon what it is and what it is mixed with in the song. I always do each track separately, no copy and paste. I record 2 tracks, dry or with just a...

This is a great tone you dialed in! It has a very similar character to his tone at this part, but maybe a little bit less high end on it. The tube screamer might be adding a little more low mids, as well, that make your tone a bit 'rounder' than what he has, but it's a very slight difference. I...

I think the Head through a larger cabinet sounds 10x bigger than the Mark V combo. The combo sounds great, but the head through a 4x12 just sounds so much better.

This would certainly effect the resale value, but which way depends on the quality of the modification. An unevasive mod would be Good for its resale value for some people, and could help it more than hurt it. A chop-shop mod with a printed label or such would effect it negatively. Selling to a...

If you want to speed up the Breaking in of the speakers you could put some music through the cabinet and leave it on over night. It doesn't have to be too loud, but just enough to get the cones moving. Eminence says they use a 20hz noise signal and let it run for a few hours at a medium volume...

Not trying to turn this into a For Sale thread, but Here's the one we have in stock: http://www.musicpower.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=GAMBCT-MARKVWAL let me tell you, this thing looks INSANE in person. We've had both woods come through the shop, and I much prefer the Walnut. I just wish Boogie had put...

We have a Hamer Taladega with Phat Cat P90's here in the store, and it sounds CRAZY through the stiletto. The high end of the P90's really sizzle through the Deuce, but it's not so hairy that it'll make your ears bleed. Take a super dynamic pickup like a P90 and put it through an equally dynamic...

I find that Vintage 30's are an obvious choice for the Mark V, and possibly a 4x12 with 2 V30's and 2 G12h-30's to give it a thicker bottom end. The C90 is a solid, high power speaker, but Imuch prefered something with a bit more grind. The C90 is a bit too clear for the amp on the 3rd channel...
