GETTING STARTED

1. Connect the A.C. Cord to a grounded (3 pin) A.C. outlet.

2. Connect your speaker cabinet of choice to the proper matching impedance SPEAKER OUTPUT on the right side of the Rear Panel.

An 8 Ohm load is preferable for your ﬁrst experience with the MARK FIVE: 25, as you will then be able to experience the full power

(wattage) potential and best Tonal balance.

3. Connect your Instrument to the INPUT jack on the far left of the Front Panel using a good quality, shielded, Instrument Cable

(grounded type) of preferably no more than 12–15 feet. Longer cable lengths will begin to compromise the sound and roll off top

end due to increased capacitance.

4. Unpack and Connect the MARK FIVE: 25 Footswitch to the FT SW jack at the far left bottom corner of the Front Panel using the

supplied Stereo (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) Cable. Set the 3-position FS mini toggle (in the center of the Channels) to “FS” (center position)

to use the Footswitch to access the Channels. If you don’t want to use—or don’t have—the Footswitch, use the FS mini toggle to

access the two Channels by moving it up to access Channel 1 and down to select Channel 2.

NOTE: The FS mini toggle must be in the CENTER “FS” position for the Footswitch to select the Channels.

5. Flip the POWER Switch to the (right) ON position while leaving the STANDBY Switch in the (left) STANDBY position for at least 30

seconds. This allows the ﬁlaments in the tubes to warm up before being put to use with high voltage.

NOTE: Following this cold-start procedure every time you power up will increase the toneful life of your tubes.

6. If you intend to connect processing devices to your loop, do so now and refer to the FX LOOP section in this manual for proper

connection and operation, although we recommend auditioning the MARK FIVE: 25 without processing for the ﬁrst time.

7. Follow the Sample Settings examples below and set the Controls at these approximate settings for a tour through your new world

of TONE. Remember these are just a glimpse at the vast possibilities and are meant to give you a taste of one possible way to set

up your Channels. Feel free to ﬁne-tune the sound as you go…you can’t hurt a thing and you will be learning by feel…the best way.

8. Flip the STANDBY to the ON (up) position and enjoy the ride!

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.
