    Mark V noise issue

    Same here; about four months old, very light home use, not moved anywhere. Local dealer charges $22 per preamp tube, I'm hoping this isn't routine.

    Mark V noise issue

    Strange noise! Definitely NOT an expert here, but a couple of thoughts: - there's a rhythmic quality to the noise... do you have a stompbox or preamp with a tempo circuit that's not well-grounded? How 'bout something new plugged into power in your house? - (FWIW all my guitars have passive...

    Best recorded Mark V tones?

    It took more than three-and-a-bit hours for people to read and respond to your post... shocking! :shock: Haven't studied it the way you want to, so all I can offer is that Alex Lifeson is another MKV user. When he isn't using Hughes and Kettner, that is. Sorry, don't know history, what...

The FX loop and the external (RJM) switcher and devices it controls seem to work fine on channels 1 and 3. While testing I noticed that channel 2 is not completely dead as I'd...

    Channel 2 dead

    Channel 2 on my MKV has gone dead, the others seem fine. I called Chris at Mesa last week, and he quickly thought that the V2 tube would be the problem. No joy. I wanted a spare tube anyway. I've been hearing white noise and buzz on all channels for a while. Since I've been putting together...
