I am staring at two distinct pieces of history right here! Wow!!

I use the Mesa Grid Slammer. Does everything I need it to do and sounds great.

I very much like the grid slammer. Also acts as a 4th channel when run thru the clean channel.

Mark V 90 watt head, Mark V:35 head, TriAxis and power amp. Either 1x12 or 2x12 cabs.

I use a Mark V head and a Mark V:35 head. I also own a TriAxis.

...just responding to the subject line: The only thing about my Mark V I don't like is carrying it. Other than that, we's all good! 8)

I tried playing around with a tube screamer and a TC mini spark boost, and it didn't really do anything for me. I've always felt I have what I need just using the Mark V. So now all I use is a tuner and a Bud wah.

Been a MkV owner/player since June 2010 - no problems.

I've used a TC Mini Spark in channel 2 with great results.

I just bought one to use with my Mark V:35 head. It's a GREAT pedal! I set my gain to about 9:30-10:00 with the Xtreme setting, and turn the knob about halfway up, and it's like giving my amp a 3rd channel. Love it!!

I got the TC Spark Mini yesterday, and tried it out last night. Firstly, it works perfectly. I set channel 2 in Xtreme mode and set my gain at 9:30-10:00. With the Spark's knob turned about halfway, it really turns up the heat on channel 2! This pedal rocks, and has turned my Mark V:35 into...

I ordered a TC Spark mini. This seems to be the way to go for uncolored boost. Thanks for the help everyone!

Hi everyone! I've been experimenting with my Mark V:35, trying to use an overdrive pedal into ch2 while running it semi-dirty, and using the OD to achieve more gain. Kinda like trying to make a 2 channel amp into a 3 channel amp. Trouble is, every OD pedal I've tried seems to make the tone...

I had the same problem with my V:35. Worked just fine the night I bought it. Next day, no gain from Ch2. I always keep spares, so I tried the spare in all preamp tube slots until I got my gain back. Works fine now.

I've been a Mark V (Head) user for 5+ years. I played thru a V:35 combo a couple of weeks ago and was really impressed! I'll be buying the head in about a week. It'll be so nice to use whichever amp I need for any given situation. I can use the head with the Cabinet Simulator when I sit in...
