Hi, I use the Cali76 CD, but I've used the Keeley compressor + for almost an year. The Cali76 is on another level, but the Keeley may be an alternative with the tone control that may change the overall tone of your guitar (slightly) and the Level that may act as a booster in front of an OD or...

Here is a clear A/B test: https://youtu.be/6mFIddmQ9aM They made part 2 of the video without extra tracks, just guitar. I still prefer the MV:35.

I don’t want to be misunderstood, TC50 is a great amp and for shure people who just got it will say it is perfect or something like that. I’m just saying, copy/past what at Mesa say, that it is British voiced, so far from the classical Mesa tone. I’m not sure that if I was into that kind of...

It’s just me or the tone knobs (treble, mid, bass) sound less effective in Channel 2 (high gain) than in Channel 1 (clean)?

Keep the Mark V:35. If you need less gain and less high try the tube swap in V2 (12AT7 in place of the 12AX7). I did it but in the end I wanted that gain back, but if you are not in high gain tone so swap the tube. For a third channel I suggest you to add just a pedal like a Tubescreamer or a...

Ok, I tried the swap, and first of all 12AT7 in V2 of Mark V:35 works. Here are my two considerations: PROS: slightly improvement in tone, honestly barely perceptible, less hight that leave some more space to the low-mids CONS: less gain, I mean, I know they are intended for such use, but...

I've ordered the 12at7 and I'll try the swap this weekend. It's an inexpensive mod so why not to try...Let's see. I've read several post about the TC50 so far and I'm no more that sure that it would cover the sound and versatility of a Mark model, so I'm more inclined to find my tone on the...

When changing power tubes, do you use Mesa EL84 or do you try some different brand? If so, do you need any change in the bias?

Did you use Mesa EL84 or did you try some different brand? If so, did you need any change in the bias?

I've read one other post here, but the conversation went to a slightly off topic. So my question is: can I replace Mesa EL84 in the Mark V 35 with JJ EL84 without any bias problem? I'm in Italy and here we have no store that test tubes for the specific amp, so I have to buy them from Amazon as...

I have a Mark V 35 and I was wondering if the TC50 would be a good alternative. I love the clean (fat) channel, but I can't get the sound I want in the channel 2. I think is has too much mids even if I scooped them. Any suggestions, impression from who tried both?
