I'm interested in how all our settings have evolved over the years with the Mark V.
I used to run channel 1 in fat mode set as clean as possible at 90w no EQ.
Channel 2 in crunch with all controls around noon, gain about 2 - 3 o'clock, or mark 1 similar but the bass backed way off, usually both at 90w.
Channel 3 was usually in iic+ with settings fairly close to pettruci's, again at 90w triode. Channel 2 and 3 with fairly big EQ V but middle slider somewhere around 2/3rds down.
I now run channel 1 in tweed set fairly clean, 45w tube rectifier, no EQ. Using a little clean boost for some breakup if needed.
Channel 2 in crunch, bass totally off, gain high, mids and treble 1 o'clock ish, again clean boost to push into Tom morello territory if needed. EQ in similar V 45w tube.
Channel 3 in extreme, bass low, mids high, treble and gain not much over noon, again eq in V, 45w pentode. Also clean boost to push into super heavy when needed.
Variac.
Presence dialled to room.

How have your settings changed if you don't mind me asking? I'm interested to hear. I'll post pictures, sound clips if anyone's interested.
Thanks,
Wayne.
