I am going away tomorrow to do some session work, I am in the studio from first thing in the morning until very late at night. I normally use a Boogie MK V with two 1x12 cabs both loaded with 16ohm tonkerlites (wired in parallel) Would it be safe for me to take one 16ohm cab? This would mean it...

Hope someone can help I recently revolved my MK V with JJ's and it has been sounding fine, however, yesterday Chan 1 (I only use chan 1) was distorted and also seemed very thin, I had to increase the bass and decrease the treble, it was very distorted dispute the setting being on Clean, full...

I did this, got a pro cab maker to make a head and cab for my Mk V combo as it was just too heavy... Loaded the 2x12 cab with two eminence Tonkerlites (keeping the weight down). Including the speakers it came to the same price as Boogie charge for just a plain black head shell.

Here's my Boogie Mk V head with Zilla 2x12 cab loaded with Tonkerlites

Got it thanks x

Has anyone successfully built a headshell for a Mark V, if so would it be possible to have inside measurements + anything else I may need to be aware of etc... To buy the basic 'black' from Boogie is $800 / £490 which I think is way over priced (thanks to UK tax/customs etc). I have spoken to a...

Thanks for the replies you guys, I do agree with those saying - great sounds with extent ion cabs etc.... But I am a jobbing muso lots of dep gigs (reading etc) so I can't take big rigs with me as I don't know what the job is till I get there. That's why I'm using a combo though I have thought...

Think I'm getting somewhere, had a good play with it today, still a bit raspy though... The exotic AC seems to be a lot smoother to the ear but I will keep on going, I just hope I get the same sound at a gig etc.. I put it into 45 watt mode and will try that at my gigs, love the clean sound with...

Thanks for the reply guys Will spend some time on it today......... Keep you posted :)

I am trying another guitar, the one I'm trying is a CS356 with passive pickups, Had a fool around with it today & got quite a good sound but it will sound totally different live & loud, still trying though. Iv had the combo for a year but just used it with my EMG loaded strat with pedals into...

Don't really know, I just didn't seem to be getting there with it, got a decent sound one night but needed more volume... I adjusted the chan master as the clean chan vol was fine, and I lost the sound.... Couldn't get it back ended up thin and cheap sound, just can't get that Carltonish sound...

Thanks for the reply.... The strat I use has EMG's on and it sounds good, though I use only the clean chan (1) with various pedals Inc the Xotic AC, I have my rev, delay chorus via the loop. I was hoping to use the other chans when I do function gigs using my Gibson CS 356 (hoping to get that...

Done a few gigs now with my new CS356 (stock), Strat (EMG) and the MK V combo. The 356 guitar does not seem to drive the MK V, the clean sound is just flat & lifeless. The chan 2 is also very weak & thin, when in crunch it also sounds like I have a compressor on full (I don't). Chan 3 well -...

Done a few gigs now with my new CS356 and the MK V. The guitar does not seem to drive the MK V, the clean sound is just flat & lifeless. The chan 2 is also very weak & thin, when in crunch it also sounds like I have a compressor on full (I don't). Chan 3 well - it's just not worth using as it is...

Thanks for all the feedback (no phun) guys.... Much appreciated. Had another play today and took out the geq except for the preset on chan 1. I should now be able to use the geq to help shape the sound etc....

Things are looking good on the MK V front. I had a play today and did the'out of the box' approach. I got a nice warm sound out of chan 2 with the Crunch setting. (I found the MK 1 setting to saturated & compressed sounding), I need to work on chan 3 now. I have a Juicer compressor on my board...

I have put a stetsbar on my Gibson CS 356. It's easy to fit - took about 10 mins. I like it, it feels a little strange at first (very light to the touch) tuning on the guitar is fine (I also used big bends nut sauce).

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I will have a play with it tomorrow and report back..... Anymore help in meantime etc............. :?
