When I am thinking about selling my DC-5, I am coming back to this video. I do get calmed down instantly. Awesome playing, awesome player ! Thank you for posting this ! 👍
Thank you! Yes, the DC5 has an awesome clean tone. I have retubed recently and sounds killer. I'm working on new demos with this amp and a couple of very nice pedals (Carl Martin compressor, Blues Driver, Angry Charlie...).
Looking at your EQ section is interesting to see tren mid bass al set so low. These are active EQ knobs, you lower the preamp gain when you do that. Might let you push the master vol power amp more.
Muchas gracias! Ahora suena mucho mejor, le han cambiado las válvulas y lo han puesto a punto. Cremita de la buena. Cuando tenga un hueco subo una demo. Saludos.
This amp has a parallel effects loop, so running directly into the effects return might cause some tone loss issues, but thankfully converting the fx loop to serial is super easy and a common mod
I went and bought a Mesa Boogie, just so I can learn to play this! However, mine is a combo with the 12" shadow in it so maybe can't get the same sound, did you use a backing track, or a looper? And can you tell me how to get the backing track if so? You playing inspired me! ;)
Hi Kendell! I made the backing track exclusively for this demo. It's very simple. Tonight I'll upload a new video here with this backing track, so you could play along. Thank you ;)
Thank you! When I recorded this video the amp was equiped with very noisy old stock tubes in both sections. Now it has brand new Electro Harmonix, Tung Sol and TAD tubes and sounds like heaven, believe me!
Cool, I tried a vintage GE 12ax7 in V1 and smoothed things quote a bit, has lower gain than the JJ ECC83S that was in there but sounds smoother with more body, more musical, both clean and lead channels. But the rest is still a mix a sovteks and even a chinese crappy tube. Power tubes are Svetlana. Trying to decide what else to try. Where in the preamp or power amp do you have your HE, tung sol and TAD tubes ?
rafamcm man I keep coming back to hear this tone. Sounds amazing. I’m enjoying a lot my DC-5 too I can’t believe how underrated this Mesa amp is, maybe because is just a straightforward simple amp without the ton of features let’s say a Mark IV has for example, but you don’t really need. The clean channel alone on this thing is worth a million dollars. Did you have the 5 band eq in the amp engaged here ? (I lately don’t use mine)
Ivi CasCa Aún lo tengo y lo uso mucho, sobre todo para grabaciones en casa y conciertos con monitores inear. Quiero tener un segundo equipo para conciertos en salas pequeñas y para dejar en el local, y así no tener que cargar con todo cada vez que tenga que grabar entre concierto y concierto.

Thank you teosiss. It's great amp.
awesome, beautiful! i am looking for a DC-5 to buy also because of the clean sound, to use it as a pedal platform too.... very cool!
Thank you! It's a really great amp for "Fenderish" cleans and the overdrive channel is brutal! A perfect platform for pedals too. 😉
This guy plays with soul
Thank you! 😉
Great playing! and what a sound. very underrated amp

fantastic!! just picked up a DC 5 got it being tubed and tuned.
Yeah! It´s a great amp and it sounds awesome with pedals.
Great Playing man 👍
Thank you! 😉
Brilliant playing
Thank you Marko! ;)
Sounds great! Excellent backing track too. Gracias.
Thank you!! ;)
It's very good, it will sell if you get out on the music market, ITunes maybe to start. Then I can say I knew you before you were famous😁
Very nice and relax
Thank you! ;)

I recorded this video in my living room, so I had to set the amp as low as I could.
nice playing bro... would be nice to see your channel settings.
Thank you! Channel 1: Gain 4, Treble 2, Mid 4, Bass 3, Presence 3, Reverb 0, Master 4, Output 4. You can see the graphic EQ on 0:10.
Amazing video. I let go of a dc3 head that I adored.
Thank you! DC5 It's a great amp. I love it!
@@rafamcm you bastard! I have a dc3 combo shipping here this Friday lol.
Que bien tocas macho¡¡¡que pasada!!!
Muchas gracias! Ahora suena mucho mejor, le han cambiado las válvulas y lo han puesto a punto. Cremita de la buena. Cuando tenga un hueco subo una demo. Saludos.
Buen guitarrista, buena guitarra, buen ampli y mucho gusto tocando ;)
This sounds killer.
Thank you Zachary. Now sounds better with a 2x12 Rectifier cab.
Excellent!!!!!!!!
Thank you! ;)
Awesome tone and playing.
Can you please tell me if the return of the amp will work if i add an external preamp?
This amp has a parallel effects loop, so running directly into the effects return might cause some tone loss issues, but thankfully converting the fx loop to serial is super easy and a common mod
@@shadesofgold24 Can you please send me the mod to lotcugabriel@gmail.com?
Bravo!
Your tone sounds amazing. What is the reason for using the buffer/boost pedal?
Thank you! I use the booster to get a hotter signal into the preamplifier.

I hope you enjoy it. ;)
Excellent! Is this a song with lyrics?
Thank you! I'm trying to put some lyrics because I want to do a record this summer with my own songs.
Very nice ! Just got the same amp. What tubes do you run in the preamp and power sections ??

Matched Tung -Sol 6L6GC STR tubes on power section. Preamp section, rear view from right to left: V1 & V2: Tung-Sol 12AX7. V3: EH 12AX7. V4: TAD7025/E83CC Highgrade. V5 & V6: EH 12AX7.
rafamcm awesome thanks !

Its like a sad woman telling you about her trials and tribulations. Some day I want to be able to play like this.
Thank you! ;)
What delay pedal did you use? It sounds very good :)
MILOŠ BARBER Thank you! It's not a pedal. I added the delay on Cubase. I think is a plugin called Echoboy by Soundtoys.
rafamcm sounds like some kind of boutique pedal :)
Lol. Yes, it's the best delay pluging for me, and sounds really nice on guitars.
hey man, how did you record this? which mic, interface etc? thanks! :)
Qué le pasó al eleven rack? :(
