Re: Mark V no saturated gain, no modern metal sound...
Are you running it at 90w? Try switching down to 45w if you are.

Also, the heavy saturated sound you are thinking of from recrods is simply not going to be what you hear in real life. Those amps are blasted, mic'd up (probably with multiple different microphones), and multitracked MANY times to sound thick and heavy. Since it's modern metal we're talking about, the tracks are then heavily compressed at mixing and clipping. You simply won't be able to recreate that live, and when multitracking guitars, you pretty much always use much less gain otherwise the mix will turn to mush.
I don't have experience with nor am I familiar with the Mark V, but my first suggestion would be to try an overdrive with a lot of gain on tap. You just probably won't need as much as you think you need.Comment
