I have a Mesa Vtwin and think it´s too smooth. Isn´t sharp enought, without an eq is almost impossible to get a good sound.
One guy I´ve know that fixes tube amps said that he can tweak the pedal to get other shapes of sound. I think about changing tubes also. What do U think?

AHAHAH ****ING HAILS
someone will chime in and tell you more about the V-TWIN
perhaps Zerberus?!!?!
i can´t comment on it since i disliked it
eheheheheheh

welcome to the forum

I once considered buying a V-twin too. I compared it to a Koch Pedaltone and ENGL Tubetoner, and the Koch beat both to death by any means (but mostly on clarity, sparkle and versatility). The V-twin is a nice pedal though, in fact I kinda like that dark tone in a way.

Try that tubescreamer infront of it; set to gain at 9 o clock, level at noon, and tone at 11 o clock.

The V Twin is a pretty dark preamp. I had EH 12AX7's in mine and it made it a bit brighter, but it was still smooth and thick.

what about buying one eq to put between the vtwin and the chorus?!
Would that resolve my quot;sharpnessquot; problem?! By the way, anyone here tested the behringer eq? has a ****in great prize, is it a great cost/benefit?

I think it's naturally dark as hell as well! Only tricks I know are reducing gain. Try the mod and let us all know.

The gain knob acts like this:
at 0% - no sound
at 5/40% - thin distortion (unusable to me)
at 40/80%- 80% of the drive
at 80/100%-100%

considering that until 40% the sound is very thin, no enought sustain and ugly crunch. and at 40% the distoriton is at 80%. The gain variation is very subtle, How do i resolv that?

They can definitely be modded, just depends on what you wish to change.
