    Mark V:35 - Fat louder than Crunch?

    Hey all, Just got a V:35 head. I had the V:25 before as well, and now I've upgraded to the 35. Everything seems to be good with it, sounds pretty much identical. I'm curious though; has anyone noticed on theirs if the Fat is louder than the Crunch is, even if slightly? On the V:25, the reverse...

    Rectoverb 25, Mini Rec, Mark V:25.....Mercury OT?

    Has anyone tried a Mercury Magnetics output transformer in their Mesa Mini yet? I'm curious if it'll help at higher volumes, and/or if it improves the tone overall.

    ROV25 w/ Tung Sol in V1: Me Gusta

    Took the advice of a chap on another board, and dropped a Tung Sol in V1 on my Rectoverb 25 head. Wow. Smooths out the sound, and makes all modes (especially modern) a lot quieter. Maybe it's in my head, but the amp just feels more organic and dynamic, when compared to an identical ROV at the...

    Tube Life: EL84's in a mini Rectoverb

    Today I had the volume cutting a lot on both channels of the ROV. I've had the amp probably a little over a year I think, casually use. I popped in new tubes, and voila; sounds great again, and loud as hell. Is it normal to go through power tubes this quick? I don't remember swapping them on...

    Different tubes to tame the Modern mode hiss on an ROV

    Hey, I've got the ROV25, and while it's pretty quiet even at high volumes on clean, pushed, and vintage, the hiss on modern is not out of control, but it is annoying. I'm wondering if putting in a lower noise tube would help, such as some Tung Sols. According to this site...

    Express 5:25+ and ROV25 -- redundant?

    Here's the scoop; I've sold my DC-5, and am on the prowl for a lower wattage, multiwatt combo, specifically the 5:25+ and/or the ROV25. I've briefly played a regular Mini Rec, as well as the 5:25+, but not the ROV25 (which I understand to be very similar to the Mini Rec). I've got a hard time...

    Lower gain tubes for DC-5

    Hello, I'm looking to see if anyone's done a swap for the 12AX7's to something like a 12AT7 or 12AU7 to lower the overall gain of the DC-5. Currently, I only run the lead channel at about 3; anything more than that is more gain than I really want. My goal would be to lower the gain to the...

    DC-5: How will the Line 6 M13 do?

    Hello, I'm thinking of punting on my individual pedals, and going to something like the M13, due to it's decent quality and ease of use with different effects. Does anyone know how it performs with the DC-5? I imagine well, since my Echo Park and Boss Chorus do well. I keep the mix at 100% on...

    Selling DC-5 combo cabinet: no idea what it's worth

    I'm not spamming my cabinet here (if I do sell it here I'll do so in the proper forum) but I'd like to see if you guys could give me a recommendation as to what a fair price is? I'd be selling it with the C90 as well. There doesn't seem to be a lot of auctions on Evilbay for this sort of...

    Want to convert a combo to head: What's it take?

    I want to go to a head+2x12 closed back cab. I've come to love V30's, and the amp just sounds better for lower tuned stuff with a closed back cab. What do I need to in order to make this happen? Can I order a new headshell from Mesa? How much (approximately)? What about reverb? Thanks!!

    Honest question: is it worth selling the DC-5 for a Mark V?

    I've got a DC-5 for sale right now on eBay. I'm wondering if I should just skip selling it, and just keep it. I was going to sell it to get a Mark V, which I do like the sound of, but I'm wondering if there's a perceivable difference in tonal quality, or if I am just doing it for the sake of...

    Mark V noise level question

    So, I'm currently thinking of ditching my beloved DC-5, and going with one of two things: 1. Axe-FX II 2. Mark V I'm getting my money back on the Stiletto I had bought used at GC (LONG story), so that frees up quite a bit of dough too. My question is, is the Mark V a noisy amp, compared to a...

    New (to me) Stiletto Ace, with a question (Problem?)

    So I got this Stiletto Ace combo used from a GC out of state, and it's in good shape, with just a dent and a few scuffs. However, after removing the chassis to check it out (pretty clean for the most part), I notice this: I kind of noticed it when I first got it a week ago with the back bar...

    MM Transformer Upgrades: Power? Output? Both?

    So I want to get a Mercury Magnetics transformer on my DC-5, to open up the sound a bit an improve tone. The question I have is which one is the most dramatic in terms of improvement, the output or power transformer? Or should I just bite the bullet and upgrade both?

    What effects units are you guys using on your DC's?

    I've got an Echo Park delay and a Boss chorus, but I'm finding it doesn't work all that hot with these pedals. I see the G Major/G Major 2 have "kill dry" modes that are designed to work with parallel effects loops. Has anyone got experience with these models? What are some other units that work...

    DC-5 Speaker mute question

    So I've got the DC with the speaker mute (of course). If I enable that, but leave the speaker connected, I assume everything is quiet but I can record out of the slave out? If so, that's only the preamp, not the power amp too, correct? I've got a Palmer PDI-09 to connect to it, so perhaps I...

    50% wrong forum: DC-5 vs. Subway Rocket tone

    I've got a DC-5 combo that I won't ever part with; **** beautiful sounding amp. However I'd like another, smaller boogie for keeping at work and moving around more for jams. But I'd also like it to sound different than my DC so it's more valuable as a recording tool. Question is: how different...

    If Mesa was to do an Express Series II.....

    What do you think would make it an even better amp? I had the chance to play a 5:25 1x10 combo yesterday. It was used, and had an Eminence Lil Buddy 10" speaker in it. Not having played a stock one (but definitely having played the 5:50 lots) I was pretty impressed with this little guy, even...

    DC-5 clean channel pull boost question

    Do not all DC-5's have the pull boost on the clean channel? I just pulled the trigger on a plastic switch one off of ebay, and I'm not seeing the "pull for boost" on the clean channel. Not a huge deal, I just thought it was weird.
