He's got his volume rolled off, he's got a bit of tone rolled off... he has the amp working pretty hard. He's also either modulating the volume control or using a volume pedal. He's got a fair amount of delay and verb on it too. It's a nice sounding solo... he really knows how to get the...

That statement right there says turn the volume control down on your guitar, little by little, until you get rid of the fizz...

I've used a ton of different interfaces and the Scarlett line is one of the better ones for the price of it. Right now I use a Behringer XR18 mixer. Make sure you have some decent horsepower on your DAW host so that you can get the most out of the experience without introducing technical...

It really depends on which context you are playing. Playing alone, with backing tracks, jamming or gigging with a band? If you are playing alone, dial it in, and be done with it. You won't get thick tones at the bottom of the master volume level. Remember, with the Mark V 25, the more gain...

Is the hum present with no lead attached to the input? Is the hum present with a voltage regulator between the amp and the mains? My MkV25 has a lot of hum under certain conditions. I know it's not the same amp but they are very sensitive. I keep my gain less than noon and only use a...

I preferred the cab clone too, but I think it needs to be even brighter. Mick was known for his really bright guitar (almost shitty tone) live... That being said, it sounds good... and proves anyone that says you get shitty *** tone from a Cab Clone obviously doesn't know what they are doing...

I use mine live all the time. I use a combination of 3 different cab configurations. 1) 1x12 Recto Straight Cab 2) 1x12 Recto + 1x12 DIY Cab (deep cab more low end) 3) Metal Grill Mesa 4x12 Each of these options give me increasing low end response. If I am only using 1 1x12, I usually put it...

The idea behind the V25 was to have a very portable and very adjustable amp. Putting 4 el84's or having a switching tube setup like the road king won't fulfill that concept at all. The 25 is packed in very very tight. I had mine apart last week doing some tube swaps and you can't do it with...

I have used a ton of Mesas, Studio 22+, mark III/IV, rectoverb, roadsters etc. I have to say I absolutely love the IIc+ mode on the V25. I had started out with the Extreme mode, but moved to IIc+ after I realized there is a bit of unwanted noise in the extreme mode with MY particular settings...

turn up the gain, down the bass, neck pickup, humbucker, guitar tone at 1/4 and a hint of delay. If you want, engage the geq with a frown type setup

Before I purchased my V25, I had a Roadster and a H&K Tubemeister 18. I got tired of lugging around a 2x12 so I built a 1x12, oversized, and put an eminence Texas Heat 8ohm in it. The Texas Heat can handle 150w and I thought it would be a great match for the Roadster. The combination of the...

depends on how radical a difference it is from your normal sound, if you have a radical V shape in the EQ it can make a pop, but when you are with a band, you won't notice it. If you are recording, do it in two takes

I use a mark 5:25 in a 4 piece (Bass, drums, keys and me) and it has gobs of power on tap. I use it with two cabs, one is a straight, MESA cab with a v30, very bright and punchy. The other cab is deeper, DIY cab I made a few years ago and it's got some serious low end to it. The mix of the...

As others have stated, get some tubes, a set or two of el84's and an assortment of 12ax7's. First replace the power tubes, you'll likely find the culprit there. Don't be afraid to pop the chassis out to start swapping 12ax7's until you get a sound that you like the most. The chassis is held...

What did any of you receive with your amp? Manual? Swag? I just picked one up, came with power cable, footswitch and cable. That's it. Seems strange

The only wah I've ever used in the loop was the one in my GMajor2 and it didn't sound that bad.... it really didn't sound that good either! LOL

I really prefer the old school metal grill .. I wish it was still an option...

Make sure to have your loop turned down on the back of the amp. Will reduce gain

Thanks for the link Sduck, valuable resource. I think I can get a 4x4 sheet of #9 from fastenal for around 20 bucks, but I'll still have to paint/powder coat it This might be a good option if they can ship it cheap. Do you remember how much yours was?

I use an Xotic SP Comp in a loop of my GCX, before my amp. Makes it sing!
