Cool, thanks guys. I've only ever been able to locate one Youtube video of someone playing Symphony X with a Mark V and I think he was using an external cabclone and who knows what else, and he didn't post his setting. It's a very unique tone but one I really like a lot.

I've been researching the Mark V for years in hopes of one day owning one. It appears with the advice of some board members that I should be able to save up enough for one soon. I am quite satisfied with the Mark's lead tones from the likes of people like John Petrucci. And my second favorite...

I'm all for used gear, about half of the guitars I've owned were used. My main amp currently is an old Carvin X-100B like Zappa and Vai used to play. But with the Boogie, it's always been a dream of mine since I began playing to go in and buy a new one. For 18 years I've dreamed of it.

First of all, hello everyone. I'm new here but I've been playing for 18 years. Long ago I was actually one of the first members on the ESP forum. Anyway, I digress. Has anyone thought of any good ways to save up for a Mesa? The Mark V combo is mainly what I'm looking at which would be...
