I've had the same problem and have found ch2 to be fairly unusable for me. You can try swapping out different tube in V2 as it only affects ch2. I found it a bit lacking in over drive so I first put a JJ that was sorted for high gain. That helped a little. I currently have a nos RFT in V2 which...

Actually V4, 5, & 6 only affect ch3 according to the tube task chart in the manual (disregarding reverb which I don't use, and effects loop). I was able to talk to a mesa boogie tech support guy so thought I would share the info he left me with in case others are thinking of doing a similar...

My feelings are the MV is a great amp but definetly not at bedroom volumes. The 10w mode to me sounds awful.. thin and tinny. I would rather play through a solid state amp modeler like a line 6 pod or something for low volumes. This is not to take anything away from the mark.. the same is true...

Ok, I'm experimenting with different preamp tubes and the tube task chart (pg 62) in the manual is cool but a couple things are unclear to me. First, what is the difference between a drive stage and a gain stage? Secondly, The task chart shows (for Ch. 3) V1a = input stage, V1b = 2nd gain...

Thanks but keep in mind I'm happy with ch 1 & 2 so my concept is to just play with V 4,5&6. Also Im not dead set on nos tubes, just seems like everything I've read leads me to believe they are warmer in general speaking terms, hence my notion.

Hey everybody, I'm in the process of retubing my preamp. So far I put a JJ Ecc308s in V1 and a JJ12Axz (high gain) in V2. I tried the Tung sols and didn't like em at all. Channel 2 sounds WAAAAY better, very good for a heavy crunch (in crunch mode) now where as before it sounded kinda weak to...

Thanks everyone. I will try increasing the treble and decreasing presence to see if that gets better. If I do decide to change the V2 preamp tube, will that affect the CH1 & CH3?

Sorry, I should have specified the crunch mode. And yes I'm playing 80's type metal. I will take another look at mode 1, ch2 if that has more gain, that was not my impression but I've kinda set it and forgot it since I first was tinkering. Had band practice last night and was using channel 3 for...

Hi All, new to the board and have had my MV for about 3 months. I love ch3 for lead but not so much for rythym as I would need to tweak knobs. So I'm using ch2 for rythym and it sounds pretty good but a touch short on gain. I'm not really a fan of OD pedals as I don't want to have to loop it or...
