I've had my V5 since 2011, playing mostly with a 2011 American Special strat. I've been experimenting with tubes and found that JJ EL84 works great in the power stage. I've had Tung Sol 12AX7, EH 12AX7, EH 12AY7, Sylvania 12AV7 etc in there. The 12AY7 made it bright enough, but had a nasty ring when turned up a bit, especially with the Hardwire RV7 as wet as I like it. Same with the 12AV7.

My pedal board has Joyo chorus, tremolo and delay, Hardwire RV7 and a Mesa Boogie V-twin on it, in that order. The V-twin has 2 TungSol 12AX7s in it, which work nicely and seem to take some of the mushyness out of both channels.

Only yesterday I installed a Jensen C8R and a TAD 12AT7 in the amp and it made all the difference in the world! The cleans are wonderful and when I turn it all the way up, I can control breakup with pick attack and the volume knob. Highs are well defined, there is more and better bass than the stock speaker and with the mids scooped on the Mesa I can get a rather fendery tone from my rig.
There's no real distortion to be had from the amp, but I can get that with the Mesa when I want. Can't wait to hear what the speaker turns into when broken in.

The V5 is quite ok with stock tubes and speaker, but with better tubes and that Jensen speaker it really shines. All in all I paid less for this than a Super Champ X2 head would cost. Needless to say I'm very pleased with the results :) ]]> Amp Owners Clubs HelgeOlsen http://www.tdpri.com/forum/amp-owners-clubs/246353-bugera-v5-club.html The Super Champ XD club http://www.tdpri.com/forum/amp-owners-clubs/167992-super-champ-xd-club.html Thu, 23 May 2013 00:37:44 GMT Agreed.

I'm still experimenting with the settings -- although it has no modeling or other gizmos, there are a lot of tones in it to experiment with, especially in fine tuning the "drive" channel settings. A tiny change in the the amount of gain makes a huge difference, and everything is slightly different at gigging vs. living room volume. I might post some videos in the near future. ]]> Amp Owners Clubs Mr Perch http://www.tdpri.com/forum/amp-owners-clubs/380090-dean-markley-cd-series-club.html Vox Pathfinder Owners http://www.tdpri.com/forum/amp-owners-clubs/166040-vox-pathfinder-owners.html Wed, 22 May 2013 23:24:33 GMT I guess people are getting desperate for these....look at this auction I was watching. ...

I was a bit disappointed that I had to pay shipping on mine but at least it was new at the "old price" of $119.99 ]]> Amp Owners Clubs BIGD5 http://www.tdpri.com/forum/amp-owners-clubs/166040-vox-pathfinder-owners.html VOX VT50 lovers out there? http://www.tdpri.com/forum/amp-owners-clubs/195719-vox-vt50-lovers-out-there.html Wed, 22 May 2013 14:42:26 GMT

In retrospect, I wish I'd never heard of the "+" series. They should call it the "-" series. I bought two VT40+'s , horrible "snare hiss" on them and both died within a week.

Still love my AD50VT ]]> Amp Owners Clubs blowtorch http://www.tdpri.com/forum/amp-owners-clubs/195719-vox-vt50-lovers-out-there.html Yamaha THR 5 / 10 Club http://www.tdpri.com/forum/amp-owners-clubs/343478-yamaha-thr-5-10-club.html Wed, 22 May 2013 13:42:48 GMT

The difference in VOLUME between the overdrive tones compared to the clean tones is significant TO ME.

But don't trust my ears, listen with your own... Preferably before you buy.

Peace out.
The volume difference is generally true with a lot of modeling amps. I've got a Tech 21 Trademark 10, which is analog, and its cleans are much lower in volume compared to the British and California settings. The same is true with my Digitech and Boss pedals. A "high-gain" sound would generally be louder than a clean or low-gain sound. ]]> Amp Owners Clubs foundjoe http://www.tdpri.com/forum/amp-owners-clubs/343478-yamaha-thr-5-10-club.html
