Love the MKII updates but it did drop the headroom. Didn’t bug me too much just kept the Volume lower and brought up the master. But yesterday (probably more out of boredom) I dug out the good Dr’s box of tubes he awesomely offered. Pulled out the NOS Jan Phillips 5751 and dropped it in V1. Wow!! Gave me back my headroom and just does what the 5751 in V1 has forever done. Added headroom and made the breakup a bit smoother. Really, really enjoying it. Can’t wait to try it with the band this week.

Having said that, if I can scare up a NOS 5751, I might give it a go. Cheers!

Same here. I've had a 5751 in V1 of my Maz 8 for a couple years. With a good 5751 and a 6p14p output tube, I don't really need an overdrive pedal.
