Mesa Mark V Green Channel Clean + TS808 (4x12 V30 4x12 Greenback)

Clean blues tone built around the pristine clean channel of the Mesa/Boogie Mark V inside AmpliTube 5. The amp is set with Gain at 11h and Master at 16h, allowing the power section to open up for greater depth and dynamic response. Presence at 14h adds air and articulation, while Treble and Mid at 13h keep the tone balanced and expressive. Bass at 16h provides fullness and body without becoming loose. The graphic EQ is off, preserving the natural voicing of the clean channel. An Ibanez TS808 (Drive at 8h, Level at 16h, Tone at 16h) gently pushes the front end, tightening the low frequencies and enhancing the midrange focus. With low drive and higher level, it adds subtle grit, harmonic richness, and a smooth edge of breakup — perfect for blues phrasing while maintaining clarity. The MXR Dyna Comp (Output at 11h, Sensitivity at 14h) provides controlled compression, evening out dynamics and increasing sustain. Notes bloom naturally, bends sing longer, and clean passages remain articulate yet warm. The tone is projected through a 4x12 cabinet with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers paired with a 4x12 loaded with Greenbacks, blending tight low-end punch and upper-mid clarity from the Vintage 30s with the woody warmth and smooth breakup character of the Greenbacks. The result is a full-bodied, expressive clean blues tone — warm yet defined, with smooth sustain, articulate attack, and a lightly pushed edge that responds beautifully to touch and dynamics.
