Where is your 750 GEQ slider at? If that is set too low/bottomed out, then anything will eat a Mark Series lunch.

I have an ES-8 that works fantastic with my Mark V and all my pedalboard effects.

Channel 3 on my amp has been on Mark IV mode since I bought it. It is absolutely the most juicy and guttural sound I have ever gotten from an amp... Even from my Mark IV!!! No metal here tho.. I play Fusion, Jazz, Blues, Rock, and Latin. This amp nails them all.

I know what you mean. I had a Triaxis and a Mark IV, yeah they do have the sound for sure. I am not that much of a JP or DT fan and I don't really share any tone settings with them but I love the Mark series amps. So I always get interested in any new variants. Thank you!

Cool thanks for the info! I don't really use the IIC mode on my V. Channel 3 lives on Mark IV, but the 2C is definitely interesting. I do wish the V had MIDI!

So this is much closer in tone than I was led to believe by all of the reviews I have read. To the point where I don't know why I would go out of my way to try one out over my V. Is it a feel thing?

I play Stratocasters in the SSS format with low output single coils. Subsequently the gain on channel 3 is dimed and there is plenty of noise. The bright side is I am already accustomed to hitting the clean channel between songs, turning down my volume etc because single coils are noisy as...

By the sound of it, you might be correct about it taking a hit during transit. It might be time to make a claim with the shipper. Did you ship it insured?

Good to hear! I am glad you got it figured out:)

All my guitars have single coil pickups in an SSS configuration, which is usually not a good combination for high gain playing. I run my channel bass much higher than recommended and haven't run into too much issue with flub. I run my bass just past the noon mark on channel 3. I was not...

I had a similar fight with the amp when I first got it. I am assuming you are talking about channel three and perhaps channel one/any mode but mark I. Can you post your settings?

When I was looking at the Mark V, I was also considering buying another Mark IV instead as I stupidly sold my MIV Widebody combo 6 years ago and regretted it ever since. What swayed me to the Mark V was the much improved second channel and second master volume/Solo boost feature and the...

I don't have a MV25, but I do have a V. I play with low output single coil pickups in an SSS configuration. At low volumes, I don't get enough output from the pickups so I put a drive (Maxon OD808) or booster (Xotic EP Booser) in front of the amp with just enough to bring the output into...

The cutting mids/high-mids on my Mark V (And getting a drummer who is able to control his volume) have ended the volume wars for my band :mrgreen:

Not just guitar players... We just fired a drummer who seemed to enjoy hearing damage. He just had to spend 1800 on replacement cymbals because he bashed all of his previous ones until they were all cracked.

I used to go through fuses in my MB Roadster in the studio by diming the mids and blasting the amp so I had to change fuses a few times. Haven't needed to do that with this amp (Mark V) however.

When I am on big enough stages, I use a Shure ULX. It's the best wireless I have ever used.

I don't like the Extreme setting with my strats (single coils) even with a boost pedal.
