Hi Guys, I recently re-acquired a Mesa Mark V big boy. Previously have had a 25 , 90 and JP2c. I love Boogies! I do find that pickup pairings really seem to mattery with this Amp (Jp2c is the same but way more forgiving). I'd like to request what type of pickups you find really Gel well this...

Hi guys Building a new setup, PRS Se single cut with mark v head and mesa 4x12. Shooting for high gain but more old school high gain...thrash and early death metal type. What pick ups would work well in this scenario. Ideally passive pickups. Suggestions?

Had my JP2C for a little over a week now. The JP2C, similar to the Mark V, does require spending some time dialing in the tone, however the JP2C is much more forgiving. It took me this long to find 'the sound' - but holy crap once you find it it is gold. Being a heavy metal/death metal guy who...

Guys, I suspect its a simple tube problem. WHen you engage channel 2 AND the effects loop it sounds like its in a tunnel (mild flanger sound). You turn off the FX loop and sounds normal. Doesn't appear to affect ch 1 and 3. Is this a tube issue? If so which one?

Hi guys, I've always had problems getting Channel 2 into high gain territory without it sounding weird. Anyway after experimentation found this sound. It sounds great for leads and rythem - I used preset EQ at about 45%. It sounds good with EQ on or off - if you want more extreme gain use EQ...

Mark 5 combo+ Analogman Man modded Maxon OD-9 (with silver mod) yup its a winner. Brings out little more bite and creaminess at low volumes. I am really really liking this setup. Just played guitar until my hands hurt. Using it as a Boost (volume maxed - drive at zero - tone at unity) . Yup...

Hi Guys, I have a Mark V combo. I'm considering the possibility of converting it into a head. What are the options to go about this? Does anyone know if Boogie will sell you an original head shell? What are the other options? Is it even worth the trouble? Should I just sell/trade for a head...

Folks I feel like a fool. I bought a used MK5 combo. When I set a EQ on any channel to FS, the footswitch does not toggle it on or off. Am I doing something wrong?

Folks, Wondering if someone can take a stab at an issue I'm having. I got a used mark v combo. Everything works, it just has this very strange swooshing sound when (especially when droning on a muted E string). The settings I'm using are exactly those on the video below except on the Edge mode...

Is there a consensus of any sort on what Cabinet works really well with the Mark 5 head (not mini)? I understand everyone has opinions, but what I'm looking for is there anyone that just seems to really mesh well with it. Not going for any sound in particular just good mojoo magic. Thanks.

Hi Guys, I'm saving my pennies to get a Mark 5, mainly for the 2c mode, which sounds great. I'd like to use it in conjunction with a Eventide H9 in particular the Harmonizer. I like to do alot of harmonies in 3rds (I'm a child of the 80s leave me alone!). Has anyone used this setup, in...

This thread is just for fun/info. Not looking to start a pedal war. Simply state what pedal you are running as either OD or additional gain in front of what Boogie amp. Also state what this combo produces (creaminess/saturation etc..)and what you like about it. Again no fights just add what...

I've been considering a few Boogie amps to replace my Dual Rec..which I loved but it was just too much amp for me. So looking at market on a Express and wondering what folks opinions are on Express (older) versus the newer Express plus. Why would one choose one over the other. Budge of course...

Hi Guys, Very odd question that I just want to throw out there. Does anyone out there use a King of tone pedal (extra points if it has the high gain mod on one side) with any older Mesa Boogie head/combo. What are your thoughts? I ask because I understand certain pedals mesh better with...

Few questions about some MB rack gear. Studio Preamp higher-end distortion is most similar to which combo/head? DC 2/5? or 50 calliber? On the Triaxis: What does the phat mod do and how do you know if a unit has it (assume the owner is clueless). Also how good does the Triaxis sound close to...

Hi Folks, Volume wise is a Mini Rec loud enough to jam in a heavy double bass drum setting? (IE Heavy/Death metal). Also is it sonically identical to the dual rec?

Hi Guys, Question out there for Attenuator users. Dr z released two affordable (sub $200) atteuntators. Has anyone had a chance to use with a rectifier amp? What are your impressions? If you know of any more or equally affordable attentuators please feel free to chime in. Thanks!

Hello folks, What is the cheapest/easiest way to get an old school preamp, like say a Mesa Boogie Studio Preamp, into your computer's DAW. Do you run the line out directly into PC then use an impulse? Or do you need a special interface like a M Audio type of device. Is this the recommended way?
