I'd love to see a comparison test between the Mark V 25 and Engl Ironball 20 (20/5/1 watt) head in the near future. I was about to buy an Engl Ironball 20 ($1,199) until this came out. In the past, I've owned more Mesa Boogie amps than any other brands. However, my current Engl Sovereign...

Thanks for chiming in and affirming it. I can't wait to get it soon!

I have a Lone Star 1x12 open back cab by its lonesome. I wonder how the Black Shadow speaker would sound with a Mark V 25 head. Either way, I'm going to find out! :D

Mesa Black Shadow speaker by Celestion (8 Ohm) in excellent condition for sale or trade towards a Celestion V30 8ohm speaker. This is out of my Mesa Maverick 1x12. SOLD. Shipped/PP'd to 48 contiguous states. Email for quicker communication: [email protected]

I have a 1x12 Maverick loaded with a Black Shadow speaker that just blows! When I play it through a 4x12 loaded with V30s, it just sounds great. The obvious answer seems to get a V30 for it. Any other speakers I should consider?

For me, the best Mesa overdriven tone derives from Maverick! IMO, 5:50 doesn't really come close. But, I'll try my best to learn to love it. :)

I put a pair of new GT 6L6 GE tubes and the tone improved somewhat.

I decided to basically use this amp as a ONE channel amp. For me, the blues/burn channel is downright unmusical in tone. I have a Turbo Rat pedal, and the 2nd channel sounds like a bad Rat tone. Otherwise, the whole package works for me. 50W for gigging, and 5w for practice at home as well...

I was hoping even for a small change! :)

I put mine up for sale. Edit: Clean/Crunch channel saves the day!

So, I should first replace the V2 tube, right? I just put Tung-Sol in the V1 and V2 position, but don't hear much improvement. I really think it's the nature of Express circuitry that's just not working for me tone-wise. I'll give it another week before thinking about selling or trading to...

Thanks!

Looking from the back of the amp, does V1 start from the left or the right?

What are some tried and true tube swaps for V1 and V2?

I just got a Mesa 5:50 1x12 combo. I love the 1st channel and it takes my pedals very well. But, the 2nd channel is practically useless to me. I can't seem to dial in the tone in either Blues or Burn setting. The only guitar that sounded great was with my 80's 48th St. Custom Tele loaded...

Thanks for that. Enjoyed reading it. It's always good to get that "extra" information!
