Thanks. I tried the Dirty Little Secret yesterday evening through a SF Fender and it sounded OK, I think it just goes to too much distortion quicker than I want. What I'm looking for is more of a tonal character then distortion. I'm got more distortion pedals than GC... I'll keep trying. Their...

Yeah, I know... I really don't need one but there are a couple I'd like to use. I got a Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret pedal. It emulates both an SLP and a Super Bass (internal switch to chose which). I tried it over the weekend mostly in channel one, mostly in mode 1 and 2. I tried with and...

Thank you Bandit. This is helpful. I'll just try a quad of 34s if I indeed decide to. I have not heard an RA 100 but I almost bought it instead of the Mark V, I sometimes wish I had. At almost 65, I don't play as much as I used to but I still love the roar. ALL the clips I heard of the RA...

I have a Mark V combo. I've thought about trying EL34s but I like using the 10w mode sometimes. From what I have read it is not a good idea to mix 6L6 (outside) and EL34 (inner sockets) and run in 10w mode. Can I pull the outer tubes (6L6s) and just run the inner sockets with EL34s and have n...

Captain Obvious here... I'd suggest getting the manual out again and go through all the modes with the manual open in front of you. It helps with the Mark and I've had other amps that going back to the manual really helped me. You can get lost when tweaking and it can be really hard to get back...

Buy it a seat... J

That looks KILLER but I cannot imagine not being able to hear a Mark V in any setting. You guys must be REALLY loud. You should start building those. I bet you could sell them and I can tell you from experience that working for yourself beats the hell out of working for someone else! Of course...

I have a Custom Vibroux Reverb. It has Rajun Cajun speakers and I switch between 6L6 and 5881 tubes. I had a mod done to it. It added a switchable "Negative Feedback Loop", basically changes it to a Vibroverb. Moved all the reverb to Ch2 and added a little extra gain in place of the reverb to...

Thanks for this, I will be trying it. I've only had my MV for a few months and every time I play it I find a tone that causes me to play some new/old tune... something I've never learned but the tone is there and the fingers respond... the amp is ALWAYS ready. Can't wait to try your settings. JB

Thanks... I only said I was a knife, I never said I was a sharp knife! I didn't bend down far enough to see "slave level" under the knob. If I am not using the slave function does it matter where the knob is set. I could have sworn that it sounded best set at noon, but it could be my...

First let me ask, it is probably in the manual but I can't seem to find it, I have tried... but... what does the Simulclass control on the back panel actually do? (edit> solved... Slave control, DOH!) I got mine from Sweetwater and they opened it and checked it out because whoever MB used to...

Did you get this resolved? I am curious to know what the problem was. Picking up some sort of radio signal makes me think of some sort of shielding problem. Was it a tube? I wonder if it was related to your household current. Curious... J

Mine has not yet arrived but I have already read the manual once. I'll start again tonight. Third time when I get it... I think it will help. J

I remember the Bad Monkey craze a few years ago... I have one too! I wound up getting the Hot Head and the Blues pedal (don't remember what they call it). I LOVE OD and Distortion pedals. I have lots of them but I think my favorite two are a Jordan J-700 and well... a Tech 21 Comp-Tortion, but...

Thanks all. I talked with Sweetwater today and have a call set up for tomorrow to buy a Bubinga/Wicker combo. It is set aside and coming my way tomorrow. It is ready to eat my wallet, sterilize me, and complete my journey into tinnitus!! It will be a good journey, I don't need any more children...

Thanks Steve. I am convinced I will like it and that usually makes a difference. I am just trying to make the jump. Thanks for the help! I'll find a way to deal with the weight. I haven't bought anything really nice that I really want in several years. I know I am going to get it and I know I am...

I have just about convinced myself to buy a Mesa Mark V combo in cream/wicker... HOWEVER, I have never owned a Boogie. I got interested after talking to Greg Lisher from CVB and Monks of Doom. I love the guitar tone on all the MOD records. He told me they were all Mark III (he didn't know what...
