First off, well, only thing I guess, are any particular brands better than others?/ the mesa brand cabcloe looks awesome, but there are many many other options. Any advice, general or specific would be much appreciated. Same for headphones...specifics. Or certain specs tonlook for, which...

So I'm Chicago bound, gonna pay more than my previous mortgage for a shoebox, and will likely need headphones to play as much as I like to. Suggestions? Specific specs I should look for? No idea here, but smart enough to ask advice from those who've been there. The V sounds great at low volume...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBmM79YadYM Ok this is actually pretty cool LOL.. still, fractal is killing all tone.

Again, not exactly a mark v post, but since we all use the v well, I can't think of a better spot :). I'm using two wahs right now, a Clyde for clean/funk type ****, and a Hammett crybaby for gain heavy leads. The Clyde loses some sweep on high gain, and the hammett sounds a bit thin and well...

Not exactly MV question, but since we all use a V I figure. L this is a good spot to ask. I play all lockibg rtems, so the occasioning drop D or a full step down just to riffthe **** out isn't really an option. So, any attachments fyou use a pedal that detunes for ya? Good, bad, brands.. Any...

Gain junkey here... full big daddy V... stocked with EL34, which is better for ch3, gain gain gain...... curious about speakers tho. I've always been a black shaddow guy, but I've been hearing around the block that the vintage 30's might have a better gain/heaviness to them. Opinions...

Anyone seen that Simpsons episode where homer needs heart surgery and all they can afford is the quack dr. Nick? And right before homer goes under Dr. Nick points at homers chest and says "what the hell is that". That was me with the V today. Set her on the stack, took a look at the controls...

My V is waiting at my house as we speak and its loaded with 34s and not 6s. Anyone toy with this ever. I mean I'll make my own judgment in a few hours here, but I dont have any 6s laying around to swap and compare. Thoughts on the 34s anyone? Thanks

So.... this may be my imagination, but my few weeks with the 25 before I ditched it for the big V.... it seemed like my wah wah (clyde fulltone), had a hell of a lot less range on the 25 with the el84s than the bigger boogies with 6L6's. I suppose it makes sense, as the el84s don't have the...

So if you've read my last few posts, I didtched my 25, and went for the big V... obvious reasons to those of you who have the V (head version BTW). I've been reading reviews for fun before the puppy gets here in a week or so, and seems like a lot of people bitching about lack of saturation...

In the end the lack of headroom and the el84s just didn't do it for me. After playing a mark iv for most of my young life, the lubchbox just didn't cut it. The volume difference between ch1 and ch2 was the major deal breaker. Trying to get sparkling cleans on ch1 and monster gain on ch2 with...

All fancy monster cables, no pedals (less the wah, tru bypass), EMG 81/85.... getting a TON of noise with high gain. Clean channel no issue, but say mark 4 or extreme mode with the gain pegged, noisy as ****. Anyone else have this issue? Preamp tube? Or should I get a noisegate. Again...

Mark v 25 has arrived. Pics and reviews coming soon. From the 20 minitues of tinkering I've done thus far.... Wow... Just wow.

Yes, I've read it all on this topic, watched all the youtubes... etc... But as time has gone on since those, I feel I should ask again before making a purchase. My instinct is to go for the Mark V 25, due to the lower wattage and the ability to give it some juice past the 1.5 master I was...
