Mesa/Boogie MARK 5 THIRTY-FIVE User Manual

SAMPLE SETTINGS
Below are a couple of different ways to set up the two Channels for Channel Switching sound (Mode)
choices. Remember, there are countless ways to set up the Channels and after reading the rest of this Operating Guide, you will be
well equipped to dedicate the Channels to your footswitchable needs quickly and effortlessly.
HELPFUL HINTS
NOTE: REDUNDANT INFORMATION: Throughout this Operating Guide you will encounter redundant information and sections that
are repeated for your continued awareness and as reminders. This is done so a person can read only the sections they are interested
in, and yet still get the important points they should know or NEED to know about the MARK FIVE: 35. We apologize if this gets an-
noying for the cover-to-cover reader (often our most loyal fans and MARK aficionados), but even they may appreciate it some time in
the future when referencing this Guide quickly for a specific topic.
• If you have everything on — POWER, STANDBY, GAIN and MASTER (as well as Input and Output Volume Controls on any Effects
in the LOOP) and get no sound; Check the SPKR ON/SPKR OFF switch in the CabClone™ Section at the far Right of the Rear
Panel (when looking at the back of the amplifier) to make sure the toggle switch is set to SPKR ON. This may have been bumped
during shipping, transport or set up.
• The MARK FIVE: 35 will sound better and feel better to play if you have at least one speaker cabinet touching the floor you are
standing on while you play. The coupling effect and especially the transmission of bass frequencies will cause the amp to sound
fatter and the strings to feel more substantial and tangible when the amp (or cab) sits on the floor... wood floors like stages are re-
ally great! Let’s face it… the guitar can be one of those weird instruments that rarely feels the same way two days in a row, night to
night, and from room to room and we guitarists can use all the help we can get, right? This “coupling” effect usually helps… with the
only exception being a stage filled with too many live mics. Sometimes you are then forced to lift the amp to minimize the coupling
effect and/or associated resonant feedback.
• Remember the MARK FIVE: 35 is a high performance amp in every sense. Just like a highly tuned car, you don’t need to drive it
“wide open” to have fun. You can get amazing performance in the middle ranges of all the controls. Yeah sure, there are times when
you would like to run flat out…but just like the car needs special tires to run flat out, it takes a really stable set of preamp tubes
(ones that exhibit little or no microphonic tendencies) to do that. While we select the very best tubes out of literally hundreds to test
and ship your amplifier with, it is near impossible to find a set of tubes that will allow you to run all the controls at their maximum
settings without some microphonic tendencies.
• Use the STANDBY switch every time you power-up, during set breaks, cable hook-ups and anytime you are not playing for a few
minutes. Doing so will increase the Toneful life of your tubes.
