Question MM + Mesa Mark V experiences

[guitarp77]

Allright!

Head bought yesterday...will be 2-3 weeks for it to arrive.

I got a great discount from a "local dealer" and got it new from almost the price which they´re being sold in Ebay, so it was a heck of a deal!!

Can´t wait to piss my neighbors off with this new monster

Congrats! You'll definitely love it. The beauty of it is that you can tear down your neighbors' houses or you can turn it down and save your ears. It'll sound great either way. One thing to check for when you get it is that they bias switch on the back is set to 6L6. When I got mine, someone left it on the EL34 setting.

Thanks for the advice!!

Will keep that in mind!

I miss my Mark V. Makes me want to sell my Axe-Fx Rig to get another! Congrats.

Mark V user here too, I don't even want to try any other amp

It is amazing.

Best amp I´ve played through and the gain is just on that "monster" level which is just ridiculous...

I bought the amp for Channel 3 but I only seem to be using Channel 2 these days. This amp just keeps on giving. Best amp ever!

Best amp ever. Period. For me Seriously, I have tried all the digital (looks so handy) stuff. For years now, I have been addicted to Boogie. Since last year, I play the Mark V. The sounds, the dynamics...second to none.
The combination with MM (and lets be honest, a PRS is not bad either, just not for your taste maybe), but both guitars sound phenomenal. They sound as they were supposed, that is the idea I get, every time I play through this amp.
No menu's -I hate menu's-, just a tweak on a knob and you hear the difference. It looks complicated, but the amp is build very logical. The advantage is that you can dial in your sound, no matter what style you play or, if you are playing on a big stage or in a small club...Extremely versatile.
But: since it is a very musical amp, you hear the small details much better: the guitar you are playing, effects you are using.
Hard to switch the damn thing off...;-)
Succes.

Guitars that were build with so much attention to detail and with such craftmanship, like the MM guitars, deserve a good amp to let these axes 'come to live'. My humble opinion and experience is, that the Mark V pours out the best of your axes.
The rest is up to you: playing style, etc. Am I getting over-enthousiastic??
