One great feature I really enjoy is the ability to have several distinctly different crunch/heavy crunch modes at my disposal at the same time without touching any of the amp controls: (These observations made on a SSH-Strat type, might not be so versatile on an all HB-guitar) 1. Ch 1 fat mode...

Thanks screamingdaisy and all, I finally received the widebody front ported cab on Friday - unpacked it, flew the cover over it and went off for a show. Man, was I amazed as soon as I took it into action! Sounds HUUUGE for the diminuative size, is not beamy at all, can hold its punch both on...

@MBJunkie: I agree that a moderate approach is best for most modes, but not so on the Mk I - its best tones in my view can be found either on the low gain or - on the other side - the cranked end. Try for yourself with treble and presence up way high too - some huge cutting edge power will be...

Hi all, new to the best (and probably last) amp I ever had - so please bring me up to speed: It seems that the "SOLO" level control only works as a volume boost only as soon as a) channel masters are less than 3 o´clock b) output level is less than 11 o´clock At least this is what I am...

@Barry: to imagine a MkV stack in anyone´s bedroom is a strange thought - for private practice I use a (fully and overwhelmingly oversized) Express 5:25 - which, luckily, serves teaching and other purposes as well.... But here in Europe floor space on stages is really at a premium - even at...

Hi everyone, so I am expecting delivery of a a wide body ported cab as per your advice - will let you know how I feel about it as soon as I have gigged with it. One other thing (and this may be a newbie question) annoyed me last night during a show with the blues crew - in Mk I mode on Ch 2...

Hi, Thanks very much for your input - just one more question: As the ported cab is to be quite "beamy", do you angle the rig up for personal monitoring?

Seems this not available any more. Would you not think a loaded design to be quite projective?

Hello to all of you, as a new member here and very happy owner of a MkV head I am aware that there have been many discussions about which cab to match, but could not find any specific answers to my situation (please apologize if I have overlooked them and kindly point me in the right direction...
