    Crunch and Edge with the same settings

    I have adjusted Mark V Crunch mode with my 12 string Stratocaster. It has 3 EMG S pickups. That is very much like 70's Alex Lifeson sound. Those settings are terrible with my Flaxwood Voima's Seymour Duncan SH-14 bridge pickup Then I decided to try Edge Mode with Flaxwood Voima. I dropped...

    Minor problem with reverb

    Hello! I have small problem with reverb. It is so small, that it took almost one year until I noticed the problem! But first I have to explain what is my system. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DCq1V6erWcF7qXlA7Ns78wJA8UbCjOTj/view...

    Changing V1 preamp tube is risky

    I changed the V1 preamp tube (put that huge cover back also) and it was not easy. After that only hum could be heard from the speaker. I removed the V1 tube and it looked fine. I put it back (but not that huge cover) and still no sound. I removed the chassis and it is ridiculous how difficult...

    Mark V footswitch connections

    Hello! I believe that Mark V 90 W 8 pin din connector is just 7 on/off connectors and power for footswitch. So the pins should be: Channel 2, Channel 3, Reverb, Mute, FX loop, Solo and EQ. The ground is needed of course. So I have 8 pin din connector and I am planning to build a connector box...

    4x12 three quarter and 2x12 metal grill

    My previous amp was Mark III combo with 1x12 EVM12L Thiele cabinet. My second amp is Sundown A50 head with Mesa Boogie 2x12 metal grill cabinet. I bought Mark V 90W head and I need some new cabinet. Mesa Boogie 2x12 metal grill cabinet (C90 and EVM12L) is great with Mark V but those are hard to...

    Why do you need so many guitars?

    I had this rock trio. I am the lead vocalist. Cutting a string during a gig spoils the whole song. That's why I need a doubleneck guitar: The bass player of my band hasn't any decent bass. So he plays my bass which wasn't expensive but it's quite good. I need a backup guitar (orange maple...

    Les Paul + Mark III Lead

    My bandmate has Les Paul and Sundown 1987 head. He tried My Mark III blue stripe (with his Les Paul) and said that the lead channel is no good! Is he a jerk? :lol: I tried to dial the amp but he didn't like any of it! He liked both rhythm channels. His pickups are passive. When he tried the...

    Dedicated FX loops for each Mark III channels

    I have always wanted dedicated loops for each channels. I just found out that there are 4pdt footswitches: http://banzaieffects.com/Japan-4PDT-Switch-pr-16235.html With this footswitch you can not only have a dedicated FX loop for each channel but you can also switch a compressor (for clean)...

    Three new knobs to Mark III

    Hi! I already added master volume to the R2 channel (Thanks for the photos Screamingdaisy! R130 text were beneath the resistor!). What do you think about this modification: You can get enough power for two 6 Volt relays to make them "click" from Mark III R1/R2 footswitch jack. That means you...
