In the Mini Recto 1x12 Slant Cabinet, is the speaker mounted on the slant, or is it mounted on the vertical?

Has anyone tried a Chase Blisss Tonal Recall, or any other analog delay, in the Mark V 25 effects loop?

Does anyone know if there is a smaller alternate 4 Button Footswitch for operating the Mark V 35? At 12-1/4" x 4-1/4" it takes up the space of 5 effect pedals on my new board!

When I got my new PRS custom 24, I noticed a low frequency distortion on channel 1 in all 3 modes even though it's EQ'd for crystal clean. It's evident on the low E & A strings and it diminishes as you pass the 12th fret. I changed all my power tubes which brought a lot of focus to my sound, as...

I just noticed that there is no tube cover on preamp tube V2 I'm my Mk V. All other preamp tubes have covers. Does everyone else's Mk V's have tube covers on all preamp tubes?

The positioning of that dirty little V1 tube deserves some ridicule. Ouch!

I bought a 2x12 vertical slant recto cab along with my Mark V because I liked it's versatile sonic range and clarity for all of the musical styles that I like to play. Also, as a vertical slant it projects the sound in a focused vertical slice that allows me to hear my playing the best above all...

I have a 212 vertical recto cabinet which sounds fantastic. My drummer says he's having a hard time hearing my guitar when my speaker cabinet is pointed at me at the front of the stage. When I turn my volume up to compensate, everyone else gets louder and the drummer still can't hear me. If I...

Has anyone ever A/B'd 1x12 Rectifier vs 1x12 Mini Recto Straight? I have a Mark V and a 2x12 Vertical/Slant Rectifier Cabinet which sounds fantastic. The problem is my poor drummer always wants me to Play louder, and I'm already at ear bleeding volumes. So I thought I'd get a 1x12 to rip his...

Has anyone tried any of the minifooger effects in the effects loop?

For those that have an Eventide eclipse, how are you making the connections with your FX loop? I read an Eventide technote, but I don't know if the Mark V FX loop send in return are balanced or unbalanced. "Advised connections are: KEEP the EVENTIDE inputs and outputs BALANCED (we use XLR only...

What does it mean when on page 5 of the manual, Mesa describes the Mark's spring reverb as "all-tube"? I know it's a tube amp but what does that have to do with the type of reverb?

I use a 212 vertical rectifier cabinet with a Mark V and it sounds great. At times I would like to have more presence, so I was looking at the 412 rectifier slant cabinet, but at one hundred pounds it's a bit difficult to carry up and down the stairs by myself. So I was thinking about adding a...

Has anyone tried the Moog MF-104M Analog Delay in the MKV's FX loop?

I've purchased longer cables, 24 foot from my passive pickup guitar to my true bypass wah, and 28 foot from my wah to my MKV amp so that I can perform on larger stages. Predictably, my sound has lost some highs and clarity. So I believe that I need to add a buffer to protect my investment in...

I love my guitar, and she loves me. But I would like to have another guitar with a fixed bridge and a through neck for greater sustain, pitch stability, and drop tuning delicacies. I predominantly play hard rock, heavy metal, psychedelic improvisation, and crystal clean sweet sounds. Price is...

I don't know if this is a forbidden topic in Rockdom but it's bothering me enough to see if others have experienced it. I play quietly. When I practice by myself you could carry on a conversation at a normal speaking volume. When I first started to play with this amp I thought my ears were...

When I mic my speaker cab for practice session recording the recorded sound is thinner and Tinnier than it sounds live in the room. I use an SM57a midway between the center and edge of the speaker and within 1" of the grille. When I recently played a gig, the sound guy (i don't know what mic he...

I know that i should carry an extra set of tubes to a gig just in case the inevitable happens. But since funds are tight right now i'd like to avoid buying a full compliment of tubes if possible. What is the minimal tube replacement kit that anybody can recommend so that I won't ever have to...

I know that the power tubes need to be matched in pairs, so should I look at my tubes and order one of each color, or if one tubes goes bad should both in the pair be replaced at the same time? I know that the preamp tubes are not paired, so is it ok to only replace them one at a time as they...
