title says it all.
Im sure that there are plenty of these conversations on here but im new to this board and new to the mark v too.
i recently bought a mark v90, and so far im in love! but im still kind of newish to the whole tube amp game (ive been using an axe fx for a while now).
in my axe fx and from most places that you read, most people talk about using an OD pedal in the front end to push the amp more, and getting an overall "tighter" tone. so i went out and tried a few pedals at the store, on a mkv35 combo at room level and settled on the Walrus audio Voyager OD. so i bought and went home. after messing around with it on my amp i realized that i dont really care for it to much. It does add "tightness" to my tone but i feel like i lost some clarity, my single notes are less pronounced and seem like they get kind of lost in the gain.
im sure plenty of people went through this when they first started out. should i try a new pedal? maybe go for the standard tube screamer or just leave the amp alone and not use any ODs?
