I´m pretty sure they are the oldest, mine is in the 400 round and so go on..don´t worry! there are much more than 200 MKV out there

 

[wezzley]

it indeed is an early model, bought mine about a year ago and it has serial#224. works great, sounds terrific!

 

[Rkorn]

Aren't all of them the same? some younger some older... same tone, settings etc...???

 

[phyrexia]

there are more than 2000 mark v amps now. serials in the 200s were built last spring.

 

[SteveO]

Mine is in the 300s, have had it for a year with absolutely no issues.

 

[radicalcut]

Mine is in the 3000s; I bought it last August. No problem so far.

i think mine is 190? gotta check though. cream bronco he he

 

[rika_gd]

the only modify I know is the tube cover, mine has the bar across..the cover looks better thought

 

[Ploki]

hm, then its not 190.. i have the cover not the bar. but its impossible to get the footswitch in

 

[rika_gd]

hm, then its not 190.. i have the cover not the bar. but its impossible to get the footswitch in

to get in where?

 

[Ploki]

inside the combo, next to the speaker of course there is a nifty bag attached to the back plank of the combo.

edit:woops, mine's 19xx!
bought it few weeks ago

 

[rika_gd]

oh, I thought you have a head, cause it wouldnt fit without the case neither! braking all the tubes of course :lol:

 

[Ploki]

:lol: yeah, it would be pretty stupid chucking in the footswitch

nah, i have a cream bronco combo. got it by luck for a great price..
i thought going for a head, but since i was a on a rack setup i got sick of a multipart setup and just went for the combo.
i have an open-back 1x12 to complement it. home-made of course, im a cheapskate

I got mine at the end of April this year and it's #28xx. Do you mean this past August (2010)?

I wouldn't worry too much, I have SN# 00042 and I've had ZERO issues!

 

[Patrickt69]

the newest amps so I'm told have the little metal tube protector

My combo has that metal tube around the bias switch and its serial is 13xx.

i have 2 mark V's right now.
they are...
1-April 09 @2000 range (bar)
2-March '10 - 3000 range.(cover)

to my ears, extremely minor differences.
i noticed the graphics on the back are slightly tweaked, and besides the bar and cover, to my ears they sound a tiny bit different.
but, no two amps ever sound exactly the same, so maybe it's just me... :shock:
