Got a DC-5 about a month ago. I think it is an A version. Great sounding amp. I absolutely love this thing! The clean channel is great, the lead channel sounds great. All with minimal tweaking. This is the third DC I've owned along with a Mark III blue, MKIVa and MKIVb. The first was a DC-5b, then a DC-10 and now this one. I like this one the best so far. For some reason this DC I just picked up seems to have quite a bit more gain than the previous DC's I had. I used to boost the others but this one I don't need to. Sometimes I use an SD-1 just for a different flavor. I wish the reverb was a little better. At least on the lead channel. It is so weak that with the reverb on 10 you still can't really hear it. Sounds pretty good on the clean channel. I've done the parallel to series EFX loop mod several times on previous DC's. I have not done this mod yet on this amp and I only use a Boss DD-3 in the loop. There is quite a bit of digital artifacts when the pedal is engaged in the lead channel (don't really use it on clean). Will the EFX loop mod cure this? I can't remember what differences that mod made. Any advice greatly appreciated! Also what, if any, reverb pedals are you guys running? Any suggestions? Thx!
