Ok, bit of a teaser title this was, but I guess this forum also serves to stimulate conversation. So here goes: what would be your dream list of specs for the new Mark VI (if there ever is one)? Here are mine: 1. All the modes we now have in the Mark V. 2. One additional mode that could...

Hi. I decided I needed some kind of booster pedal to plug my guitar in and give me some additional saturation to chase those heavier high gain sounds on my Mark V. It bothered me to have to have the GAIN turned all the way up in my Mark V and not getting quite there without fiddling around...

Hi! I recently purchased a second-hand Mark V. It's got a red vinyl finish which looks nice, although I'm not emotionally attached to it. Just came that way. In the past couple of days I realized there's a bit of vinyl peeling off here and there. Nothing much, but of course it will only get...

Hi! Hopefully the most technical members will bear with me for a minute: Would a paperless speaker stuck inside a small wooden padded box work as a (cheap) load box for quiet recording with a Mark V? My idea would be to use the Slave Out, connect it to my soundcard or a cab simulator and use...

Hi again. Happy new owner of a great Mark V, yada yada yada... (I already expressed my appreciation in another topic: http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=69157 ). Ok, so here are some questions regarding this amp, maybe someone can help out: 1. When I power up the Mark V, even in...

Hi everyone! I'm now the very happy owner of a mint condition second hand Mark V in Custom Red ( http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=69124 ). First remarks: 1. What an amp! Days should have at least 28 hours so I could dedicate the extra time to working out all the possibilities...

Hi everyone! I will be purchasing a mint second-hand Mark V this coming weekend (I hope!). As I don't know the owner or what kind of pounding the amp has taken so far, and since it's my first Mesa amp and I don't have a frame of reference, how would I know if the tubes need to be replaced or...

Hi everyone! An opportunity presented itself for purchase of a very good A1 condition Mark V head for a very interesting price. The only thing is... this Mark V seems to be red, as you can see below. Could someone please tell me if I'm looking at the real deal? Or is it some user-painted...

Hi. I'm still unsure about what MESA amp will be my first. A couple of weeks ago, I was torn between the Mark V:25 and the Express 5:50+. Then I tossed a coin, convinced myself the CabClone circuit in the Mark V:25 would be a plus (although, to be realistic, I'll probably won't have time to...

Hi! Sorry if this is going to be a long winded message but hey, a MESA amp is not something you buy everyday, and I'd like to get this right. Please feel free to give me your honest opinion - the lengthier and juicier, the better - as that will influence my purchase. My money is (kind of) in...
