Hi, I,m in Uk and took my mesa mark v to Mike Hill (amp repairs service) in Milton Keynes. He fixes stuff for Jeff Beck, Brian May and many others. Top man. The amp is pushing out 105 watts RMS we checked it. He looked over everything (he say's it's fine) and although I'm generally happy with...

Hi guys, I have a Mesa Mark V head and I tried the Two Rock Bi Onyx 50. Simpler to dial in than a Mark V and much more articulate, great fat warm midrange in lead channel when pushed. I think the Two Rock 2x12 cab makes quite a bit of difference but I'm a little concerned the Two Rock Onyx isn't...

Hi screamingdaisy and friends, You said, I'm leaning towards a preamp tube. If I crank the FX send knob I get a harsh, thin and trebly fizz. That is so helpful to me, makes perfect sense cos I can crank the fx knob to full with nothing in the loop and i get more volume so seems a preamp valve...

Yes great idea to wrap our mains leads in this way. Take a look at the EVH 5150 100 head they already have this idea in place plus an fx true bypass on floorboard with no external switch. Look at the EVH 5150 50watt lunch box amp and TILT back cab locking amp to cab like the old fenders. Why are...

Hello Mark2..I'm guessing you work for mesa as you seem to really know your stuff. I had a amp expert check my amp out when I only had it a few weeks, the amp kept going dead and i was replacing same preamp tube myself V1 i think. He said at that time all preamp valves are fine and just needed...

Hi, Thanks for your reply... on channel 3 my settings are Gain 3 o clock....master 10 o clock....pres 11 o clock...Treb 1 o clock...Mid 10 o clock..Bass 9 o clock EQ normal V shape... all channels 90 watt mode (mark 4 mode) output 4 o clock. One email I got from another mark v owner said his amp...

Can you help guys.... I'm finding I'm having to crank My Mesa Mark 5 head higher than normal at gigs. At home I tried comparing Mark V to my Mesa single rec 50. I had to mute my guitar strings and in turn turned each amp up to full blast. My Mesa single rec was twice as loud as Mesa mark v in...

Thanks for that Mark much appreciated. I've had stacks of decent valve amps in the past EVH 5150 100 head, Marshall 100s, Hughes & Ketner etc and I was beginning to think all these Mark Vs were quiet and couldn't understand why no one else has had this problem. I have also hard bypassed efx loop...

Hi, Steve from Peterbro Uk Mesa mark v 10 watt setting at gig wow........ Well Mark I reakon my Mesa Mark V is only chucking out 30 watts on 90 setting mode. Everything in the amp works switches, knobs, channels etc great tone but this thing should belt it out and it doesn't. I've had a TC...

Hi Nazgul666 The FX knob should be kept in the centre as say's in manual (centre Dent NO PEDALS INSERTED) I find my Mark V too quiet at gig (90Watt) levels so I crank the FX knob flat out and even then it only just keeps up with my little Mesa Single Rec. I have replaced all 6L6 valves no...

I'm disappointed to in Mark Vs fx loop. I did use a boss DD2 delay in there I had to crank the fx level up on amp and pedal. I then bought a TC flashback, better not brill. My mark v sounds great but I really have to crank master vol to 3 o clock on a gig, crazy I know. I now don't put pedals...

Hi guys, My Mesa Mark V head seems too quiet to me, compared to my Mesa Single Rec 50 it's lost. Last night's gig I had Mark V master vol on 3 o clock. I ended even turning up my fx send from 12 o clock to 2 o clock and then backing down the master vol to 1 o clock. My EQ is standard V shape...
