Usually clean or fat, but it seems to be the worst on clean at 90 watts. It does it on all wattage's and modes if you turn up the output enough, and i tried with or without eq and in diode or tube. So it seems to be the master going past a certain point in combination with the output were it...

I think what's going on is I'm running the master too high. I usually run the master at about 1:00 and the gain at about 11:00. I just tried running the master at 9:00 and the Gain at 1:00 and 3:00 and 5:00 and there is no noise with the reverb. I like to get a really tight clean tone but i...

I was wondering if it's normal to have a buzz when using reverb on channel one when running clean tone. When i turn the reverb knob on the back down the buzz goes away, when i turn it up the buzz gets more pronounced the more it's turned up. Also, the more the volume is turned up the louder the...

Duncan Nazgul/Sentient set is an amazing set that i love. It is different than my Alnico II's and Burstbucker Pro's and very versatile in their own right. Their sold as more of a modern metal set but i use them for everything, and tapped they are killer for clean or blues. The bridge is very...

By the way, i'm not using a Fractal so disregard the Effects loop being off in my previous post and turn it on, and set the Master to about 2:00. I use these settings for a flat response for a Metal Muff Pedal w/ Top Boost that i absolutely love!

I use channel 1, with effects loop off, on clean setting, 45 watts, Rectifier Tube on, EQ off, Normal instead of Bold, Gain at 10:30, Master as needed, Presence at 10:00, Treble at 12:00, Middle at 9:30, Bass at 10:00. Solo on if you need more volume. For some reason i prefer 45 Rectifier, it...

I'm going to throw something out here that hasn't been mentioned. I'm assuming that you have a mark v, if you do you might want to try putting in a new rectifier tube. Sometimes they can go bad or have intermittent problems. I had one go bad and the amp shut down and turned on by itself really...

So i got the Eventide Timefactor and I've had it for about a week, and it is what I've been missing and is a game changer for me. I wish i would have had it all along as i have definitely been missing out. Thanks to everyone who recommend it as it gets along very well with the Mark V.

I think that there are a few things going on. Newer models definitely sound better. There's no doubt that older models have a harshness that is almost impossible to get rid of or eq out. The amp begs to be tweaked to the point were it could be too overwhelming for some. My 5150 gets turned on...

So i tried several ways of hooking up the Ebtech line level shifter and all it did to my ears was raise or lower the output. I tried adjusting the fx send level on the amp and no difference in the delay sound. I have the Timefactor coming Friday so I'll see if it sounds different then my DMM...

I am waiting for the Ebtech to show up tonight and for a Timefactor on Friday. The Timefactor has an instrument level and a line level switch. I'd like to be able to keep my DMM delay if i can, but it has never sounded right and i never new why until i read this thread. A tech from Ebtech also...

Thanks very much for your response, but i don't understand most of what you said. I don't know what line level vs instrument level is or why Mesa would put one vs the other on an amp, or why i wouldn't be able to use very common delay pedals with my amp. Also why wouldn't Mesa put a switch or...

I was wondering if this is normal with any amp using overdrive. I have a Deluxe Memory Man, and i just bought and returned a Flashback to see if it would do the same thing and it did. When going through the effects loop if i pluck a note and mute the note i will get decent sounding repeats that...

I wasn't talking about boosting to add gain. I along with most people boost their 5150's and there is tons of gain. But yes, there should be plenty of gain on tap.

i always boost ch 2 & 3 with a custom ts808. i find it kinda dull without. also, unless your playing bedroom levels it's more about tight than gain. i just went for a new tone, a cross between overkill and pantera on iv mode, 750 all the way down, 6600 and 80 almost all the way up, and crank it...
