So I made a massive improvement to my Mark V by changing out V4 and V6 for 12AT7 tubes, following the advice of many people, including those in this thread: 90W Mark V becomes the BEST Mark with preamp tube tweak? - The Boogie Board At the same time, I changed out the 2 Mesa 12AX7 tubes in V2...

So I've read/heard that the full Mark V is better at lower volumes than the 25 or 35... is this anyone else's experience? If so, why is this the case? Cheers, T

Hi guys, help me settle an argument with a friend. Does leaving the Mark V in standby mode overnight hurt anything? Or is it simply 15 hours of tube wear?

For those Mark 5 25 or 35 owners, how do you get a usable perfectly clean tone? Fat mode sounds the best, but when I turn the gain down the volume drops a lot as well. Obviously when I turn up the gain... I get more gain. Wondering what you guys use for settings to get there? Trying to play...

For those of you with a 25 or 35, do you use your chorus pedal in the loop or in front? I know modulation is typically supposed to come after dirt, and that the preamp stage is mighty dirty, however convention also states that chorus should come before reverb, however the fx loop sits behind...

Coming from a Marshall JVM HJS, I’m use to having the ability to have the effects loop on or off each channel. With the 35 (and 25) if it’s in the loop and on, it’s coming through. How do you guys use the loop? Do you use it much?

Hi guys, recently got a new V 35. Love it so far. I have a question about the loop. I want to put a chorus pedal in the loop to play clean Metallica riffs (Hetfield uses a JC120 for cleans) on channel 1 and then be able to switch to channel 2 for dirt. Think of the transition of the Enter...

Hey guys, new to the forum. Ok, cryptic title. So I recently decided to jump ship from Marshall to Mesa. I've had a number of issues with Marshall amps not working properly. After doing some research (already owned a couple of Mesa pedals and the 2x12 Recto cab), I landed on the Mark V:35...
