ADA MP-1 Friedman JJ-100 (Hoping to get it modded one day) KSR Colossus H-100 with Wood Mod Gallian-Krueger ML 250 Gallian-Krueger CPL 2000 Mesa Boogie Mark IVB Mesa Boogie Mark V Mesa Boogie JP-2C

It could be the cab clone. That was giving me problems on mine. Otherwise, I'd say maybe there's something wrong internally, like a cap or solder issue.

So I have a Colossus with a 2x12 from KSR fitted with Celestion 75H Creambacks (on Kyle's recommendation), and while I love the tone, I am curious how the 65M Creambacks would sound with the amp. Has anyone tried this combination? Thinking I might try a 65M/75H combination but I would feel...

If you like your KSR pedal so much, why don't you just get a KSR head?

I got three major disappointments: 1) Diezel VH4: Only liked channel 3, the rest were meh to bad. 2) Mesa Boogie Roadster: Way too dark, always felt like the amp was buried in the mix. 3) PRS Archon/Driftwood Purple Nightmare/Peavey 5150: A bit of a cheat, but all were praised by Youtubers and...

It seems like the layouts are the same and the channels seem to have similar eqs, especially in how the mid range is presented.

I also use a Decimator II and the only other pedals I have in front are a tuner and occasionally an overdrive set up for either lead boost or as a grit pedal for lower gain modes. Aside from those, I have a delay in the loop and I am messing with a separate 5 band eq in the loop for another tone.

Better but the Mark IV and JP2C I feel are voiced more aggressively (that or I have a couple of lemons). Both amps sound best with a V30s cabinet. I've tried my Mark IV with a friend's Mesa Trad 4x12 and it sounded better. Unfortunately the only V30 cab I own is a crappy Avatar Contemporary 2x12...

I own a KSR Colossus and I love it but the new Revv Generator 120 Mk.3 looks interesting. So I was wondering how different do the two amps sound and how similar are they in terms of their gain structures?

I agree that my speakers might be the issue here, I've been eqing things on my computer using IRs of other speaker types and while I love my creambacks with my KSR, Mesa really work best with either V30s or a high wattage speaker like the C90 or K100s. Guess I'll need to pick up a Mesa cab at...

Amp is still noisy, but I swapped the tubes with some good ones, that did nothing,

I'm hoping Randall puts out a Mark VI before he retires and he makes an amp that stands on its own and does its own thing instead of trying to be a greatest hits amp like the V.

That's what I've noticed as well. The Mark V's strengths are it's first two channels. The problem I have is that any tone those channels can do, my KSR Colossus does better lol. So yeah it looks like my Mark V is getting sold. I had a feeling that would be the case when I got my JP-2C months ago.

Seems like the tone stack is a lot more sensitive on the Mark V than on the others.

My bad. I use the smiley face on the amp eq and I have a frowny face in the loop for leads.

Channel 1 - Usually in Fat mode, Gain at 11 o'clock, Master at 1, Presence at 11, Treble 1, Mids 10, Bass 11; Bold Switch on Channel 2 - Usually Crunch, but I am playing with the Mark I mod at the moment (too dark and fat) - Gain at 11, Master at 2, Presence at 2, Treble at 3, Mids at 12, Bass...

Seriously, I feel like I need a rack eq just to remove some of those mids. I've noticed the amp needs a decent amount of volume to open up as well.

The 75H creambacks are basically V30s on steroids. Every other amp I have can get nasty sounding. You know the kind of tone that gives you an instant stank face when you play. There's just a smoothness to my Mark V for whatever reason. GREAT tone for leads and cleans, but not that great for more...

I am A/Bing my amps right now, thinking of selling a few. My Mark V might be on the chopping block for the main reason that it is too smooth and lacks that aggressive character that both my Mark IV and JP-2C have. It can approximate their tones, but lacks the feeling of those two. Is this a...

There is a speaker switch in the back and I had it off but when I flipped it to on, it stopped screeching at me. Although the amp still is pretty noisy compared to my Mark V. It probably needs some cleaning and a once over by a tech, but it works now lol.
