Mesa Mark V....low volumes??
Mesa Mark V....low volumes??
ok, I just wasnt sure if I'd defeating the purpose if it "lived" in the 10 watt setting most of the time, dont get me wrong there are times I can use the 45 and 90. Im just having trouble finding an amp with great high gain sound at lower volumes, everything I see and hear about the Mark V seems to be awesome.
Played a Mark V today at the local shop.
I was really dissapointed about the ch3.
I'm not fooling but, it just didn't had enough gain when I did fast triplets on my low E string. When chording and stuff it had enough. But I was reallly dissapointed about that.
Another thing is that it didn't had the balls to the wall sound. IMO...
BUT when I watch Big Rich' vids on youtube there it is, the gain and the balls to the wall...
Also played an engl invader, which was soooo much better IMO..
Do it. The Mark V is the best sounding tube amp at low volumes that I have played. When I had mine, I spent the most time on 10 watt mode on channel 3, and 90 watts on the other two. Either way, the master volume has a great taper, and 10 watt mode sounds awesome.
