Hello! I have an issue I think i have isolated and am looking for a second opinion. Perceived Issue: When running the Effects Loop there is a loss of tone and power, sluggishness in the lows and a loss of some harmonics Theory: V4 and V6 12AX7 need to be replaced Testing: Stripped...

I am looking at buying a second hand Rectifier Slant Cab and am looking for a little advice. Mostly, what could go wrong, anything specific I should look for that could have failed or is failing. I am being offered for $600 CDN Mesa Rectifier 4x12 Slant Cab w/V30's Original parts, original...

Hey guys, I have an opportunity to play through a Peavey 5150 full stack in a couple weeks (gear sharing for the win) and when reading my guide, couldn't determine if I could safely run through this stack with my Mesa/Boogie Mark V. Can I connect the two 8 Ohm jacks on my amp to two 16 Ohm...

I have been building some new tones recently with my Mk V and started looking into different ways of changing the tone. One option which I researched has been changing to EL34's. I started reading up on how to swap tubes and ended up realizing there is a whole side to amp maintenance which I...

So I am looking at building a rack system with a MIDI controller and after reading here, there and everywhere, thought I would ask here. I have two questions, one I know more about, one less. I am looking at getting the RJM Mini Amp Gizmo to allow my M5 to be incorporated into a Voodoo Labs...

Today when I was at my rehearsal space I was getting a lot of noise from my setup. Over the last 4 months I have been running direct from guitar to amp, and have used a Boss TU-2 in the Tuner jack at the back, this has given me no issues. During the summer I used a setup with a few effects, a...

So I have had my Mark V for a while now and I am noticing some sounds that don't sit right, but given my play environment I was hoping to just explain what I am seeing and get some suggestions. My main rig is currently just my Schecter Loomis (Active EMG 707's on Ash body) direct to my Mark V...

I read a lot of comments from users stating that II C+ or IV sounds better in the original then in the Mk V. I think it would be interesting for someone who had access to the various amps to create unbiased samples of each but not actually list which is which, and then see which are preferred...

Hey I just got my head and ripped through some stuff to try it out. Thought I would share my findings with the folks here since most people are reviewing with more traditional guitars and I know I haven't seen reviews with 2 of the 3 sets I tried. I used the presets for Gain/More Gain and...

It's all about the supporting cast no? Although I would love to run direct to my Mark V and never have to tweak anything, let alone buy another effect unit, I am a realist (and I have GAS). I recognize that effects really are dependent on ones style and what they play, but I am interested in...

With my Mark V Head incoming, I realized I need to match a Cabinet. I recognize that the Mark V info states matching impedance is not a huge deal with the Mark V but, to get the most out of it, I want to make sure I am doing the right thing given my budget. Anyway, I haven't the luxury of...
