    .22 Caliber Extension Cabinet Suggestions?

    Hi all, I've got a great .22 caliber amp but would love to use one of the two 4 ohm output jacks for the amp's internal speaker and the other 4 ohm jack for a 1x12" closed back extension cabinet. I have this setup w/my Mark V (8 ohm for each speaker/jack) and it adds a lot to the overall tone...

    Wicker speaker cover for a Mark IV?

    I suggest reaching out to Mesa Boogie customer service directly via phone. They've made multiple wicker grills for me that are reasonably priced. If they don't have the grill baffle/frame for a Mark IV in stock, you can probably ship them yours and they'll do the covering for you and it will...

    New boogie

    If you'd care to say: How much did you pay for a 'used' MkV combo @ Sweetwater? I've had plenty of good experiences with the company, but they seem to rarely have used stuff. I bought my 2009 MkV combo used from the 2nd owner last summer. I strongly recommend changing the fuse and/or tubes...

    Mark V Combo - Speaker Change

    https://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=85042#p523732 -Yep....as noted here! But to be fair, I now have a 90w Wide Body 8 ohm closed back cabinet splitting the signal with the 90w speaker in open back cabinet that is the combo. Having that open back cabinet up a couple feet closer to...

    Mark V Combo - Speaker Change

    Apeman, I'm seeing that speaker as rated as 60 watts (https://wgsusa.com/vet30) Wouldn't we need a speaker rated for 90 watts in the combo? I ask because I'm still not content with 'taming the treble' in this fine amp and am open to trying a speaker change. Any help appreciated.

    "Tweed Power" huh?

    Hi all, Apologies if this has been discussed here before but I noticed an image that had me scratching my head a bit: https://mesaboogie.com/amplifiers/electric/mark-series/mark-five/index.html Please scroll down to the amp's front panel image directly under "OVER 40 YEARS OF RANDALL SMITH’S...

    Just bought a Mark V 90 watt combo. Have some questions not answered in the manual.

    Q1 & Q2: Yes, as stated by my fellow owners above! Q3: Review Pages 30-32 of the manual to learn exactly what tubes are used - and how they are used - in the various wattage configurations. However, nothing is noted in the entire manual (I've reviewed it often in the past 5 months) about...

    Boogie Mark V brown sound

    Great Job with this! As you list "Brown" I'm wondering: Are the settings are full power or Variac mode?

    david gilmour

    As a longtime Gilmour fan here (first time seeing the man in person was on the About Face tour!)....nice job! But I see you have two amps in that video. Are we hearing stuff coming out of your MarkIIC and another amp?

    Need help please: Mark V or Fillmore?

    Sounds like you already had your mind made up when you posted..coming to a conclusion 24 hours later. Would've recommended at Mark V 90w for versatility and dispute the "decent cleans" - the Mark V cleans are as good as any combo if you dial them in. Also, not 'hard' to dial in...just takes...

    New 6l6 441 tubes

    Installed a 441 quartet (two matched sets) a couple days ago. They do help "tame the treble" as others have said. To which, I understand why MB would shift to making these the stock power tubes in a Mark V. I don't know how long the Mesa 440 tubes were in my amp that I replaced. It is an...

    Slave out for recording signal?

    Hi folks, Recognizing this topic has likely been covered before, please excuse the question from one new the Mark V world... Has anyone had success using the slave output for signal to a recorder? I do have a good mic setup to capture the cabinet sound, so I'm only looking for supplemental...

    Add a Lead Master to your Studio 22? Yes or No?

    Hi All, I have a studio .22 in great shape that I've had for about 7 years. It's an excellent amp. However, I rarely employ the lead mode because of the volume difference. For those of you who've had the mod done to your .22 ... and those who own a .22 plus ... is it a mod that makes that...

    Upgrading from Mark V 25 to Mark V

    Markageddon’s remarks? Spot on! I upgraded from an Express 5:50 plus combo in late July to a 90w Mark V combo. Why? I got a taste of the ‘burn’ mode in the previous amp’s blues/burn channel and needed a third channel to be able to toggle back and forth between delicious, clean channel...
