Oh yeah, HELLS YEAH! Soon as you can, please tear yourself away and let us know how ya like it!

Sounds great. Very reminscent of the MKIIc/MKIV & Roadking, with a smattering of Lone Star. Sweet. I've set it up with the controls how I normally like them on Mesa amps. Got the hang of the sound tweaking within 5 minutes. I like the wide cabinet. Offers a little more tone. Have never had one of them before, only the narrow type.

Have 2 rehearsals this week, tomorrow with one band and Wednesday with another. Can't wait to try it live!

Yeah, ordered it through Zone back in January. Frank helped me unpack it and fire it up to make sure things were in working order before I left the store. I think he was more stoked about it than I was! Great folks, Zone!

There is still a Tweed setting on channel one. But, it was really always a Variac on the main switch anyway.

And, yes, the slide-on casters are included. I just slipped them on.

Did the Mark V come with a manual?

And if so, is it identical to the one on the site?
