As much as I would love to buy another amp and this sounds really good, I can say that between my Mark 5 25 and my TC100 I'm pretty sure I got everything covered, love Mesa
I bought a Mk5/25 combo 3 years ago and I could not be happier. More than enough versatility & power and tone for days. The thing weighs just 25 lbs, so no busting your back to get it into a club like the old days. I normally will run it with a extension cab (plywood, so it's light weight as well) with a 25 watt 12" greenback so I know I'll have more than enough volume, but even with just the 10" Creamback in the combo, it is fine. I dunno...for $3500 this might be a bit too much for many of us with not a lot of new features.
I'll eventually have one, just as I've owned every Mark to date. But it'll be a while. Today I'm happy with my Mark V 90 and my loaded Mark III Blue Stripe.
I have the MKV long head and blue stripe MKIII long head. Doubt I will ever get rid of them, but I bough a Fractal AxeFXIII and rarely ever turn them on now.
Honestly, I don’t really see the big improvements from the Mark V… I mean, between Mark IV and Mark V, we had a lot of nice improvements, here it seems like we lost Edge, Tweed and Extreme channels. I just don’t really get it why they duplicate FAT and Crunch circuits on Ch 1 & 2. That’s a stupid decision IMHO… not surprising since it’s owned now by Gibson, the masters of bad decisions!
@@Spidouz yeah, I was kind of wondering about the duplicate channels as well since you can get changes to a clean sound with foot pedals for example. Idk, seems like wasted channels.
@@Spidouz It also lost the Mark I mode (replaced by IIB mode I guess), Variac power setting, bold toggle on channel 1, thick Mark I toggle on channel 2, bright toggle on channel 3, global master volume, eq presets, solo boost volume, tube rectifier, class A 10w mode (replaced by class A 25w mode), and class A/B 45w mode (replaced by class A 45 mode). This is an easy skip for IMO an inferior amp to the Mark V.
After JP2C, didn't think we'd see any more mark amps with only set set of EQ sliders! That's a major bummer. But this looks like it could quite literally be used in any situation for any tone. Bedroom studio, bedoom jam, clean, classic rock, metal, small gig, stadium gig, etc. Really cool.
I still have my Mesa Mark Five 35 with matching 2x12 closed back cab. It took me a lifetime to find an amp that would do all genres of music to perfection AND do cleans and dirty tones awesomely. I went through MANY amps in my search and will never sell it. I didnt think it was possible to get great cleans and great dirty tones out of one amp so for many years I used a 5:50 for the great clean headroom and used pedals for dirt, but no longer
Modern amp with obsolete, maintenance heavy valve technology. Come on. I am Mark IV owner and would switch it to something that doesn't carry hidden cost of tube replacement. XXI century and we are still stuck with vacuum tubes that need to replaced from time to time, insane.
@@Max_94 I'm talking about analog amplification, not digital modeling. My point is what can be achieved with valve, can be achieved with transistor, cheaper and more reliably. Amp sound is in the pre-amp circuit. Mesa/Boogie also sells vacuum tubes so it's not in their interest to innovate in this direction. I don't think there's anything luxurious in obsolete, faults-prone technology. Are you playing your tube amp of keep it as show piece? I play mine but I'm scared of the day it breaks. And given the reputation Mesa circuits have in amp repair industry.. You are correct in this aspect that there are amp brands that sell well even on 2nd hand market. Mesa/Boogie surely belongs there, so you could treat your valve amp as money investment that doesn't lose its value much or at all. But they can you really affort the risk of playing the thing to break and pay the cost of very expensive repair?
@@reav3rtm I'm very sorry to hear that somebody is forcing you to be "stuck" with a Mark IV. Having owned more than one of those incredible amps over the years, I know first hand how devastating it must be for you. I hope somebody rescues you soon, so you can freely purchase one the many solid state amps, with their modern technology, that have been available since the previous century. Prayers and best wishes for your rescue.
Priced right out of the gate up at $3500. Damn. My guess is the rest of the line may be matched up in that same range soon. JP2C is still $150 less than this...but had already increased in the last couple years. Pretty sure large production amplifiers are gonna be a $5000 hit in the next handful of years.
My very 1st Boogie was a .22 caliber 1985/86? (worlds loudest 22 watts) followed by a .50 cal w/EL-84's than the -50cal + w/ 6l6's playing a Jackson. I had the "screaming Tubes" tee-shirt in cream color! My best friend ordered a Coloseium 300 that was custom made for him. Loudest grinding amp known to man. I used to call Mesa/Boogie and talk to Kevin. The receptionist was "Georgia" and was awesome!!!
My little beloved Mark V 25 isn't the flagship Mark anymore, and it gives me so much joy to see these amps evolve. Hope I can own one of these one day soon.
I own a 90 watt Mk V and I love it. Since then the Fillmore, Cali Tweed, Badlander and JP2C have been released all sound KILLER. I was very much anticipating news on the Mark front. I have to say, I'm disappointed. Most of the modes are the same. I'm sure some tweaking was done, but they don't sound that different.
To me it feels like this one and the badlander are great amps but they are purposefully stripping out features to simplify things. Idk if that’s a good thing or not.
thats maybe the most versatile amp ive ever heard , it has amazing range of tone,from the stones to metallica(im old) ive never owned a boogie,might have to try one. the only other amp i can think of thats this versatile all in one amp type thing would be the 3rd power kitchen sink,but thats a whole different amp
I usually play fender and vox amps but one of the best tones I’ve ever heard in my life was this guy at the beach playing a mark combo and a strat. It was so good. I kinda want one now
As a Boogie fan I am so happy. This basically brings the rich history of the MkII through MkIV into one amp with some really sweet features. Very much a killer amp that I would love to own but where are the new tones? What does Boogie do here that innovates like the amps included in this model? I suppose the point is the versatility in this amp is unparalleled. I'm sure the MkVII is great but there was a missed opportunity IMO. Still would love to play it though!
the JP2C with 2 individual GEQs cannot be beat i am afraid. The extra midi switching is a nice touch, it should come as standard for +2k USD amps whichever brand. I am not hearing anything new in the sound or specs wise that would make me want this. Why would you not get a MK5 or a JP2C?
The Cab clone and internal Reactive Load are the big additions here. Looks like a swiss army knife of past Marks with new tech added. Would have been sweet if it had Tweed voicing.
You really ought to have Doug West keep doing these videos. He’s much better at explaining what’s actually going on, because he knows, and having him out front preserves the credibility and continuity of the brand.
To be honest I like more Mark V. It's huge mistake that Mark VII skipped the Mark I voicing which is found from Mark V. Mark I is so creamy. If you want to have chocolate cake lead you need the Mark I. I am also very sceptical about that the Master volume is missing.
I’m betting Randall developed the VI, and Gibson killed it and replaced it with a VII that’s missing a bunch of features and is cheaper to manufacture. Gibson probably called it the VII to prevent Mesa engineers from revolting.
@@gitarman666 that's the best amp to have man! Congratulations! The mark VII IMO is a modified Mark V.. they just took off what defined the Mark V which was the extreme mode and replaced it with the Mark IIB mode, added cab clone and some other modern features in a chassis that's the size of the JP2C, smaller than the Mark V in terms of size. JP2C is so much more versatile and the channel 3 is literally the creamiest ever! You did the right thing man.. massive congratulations and no, you're not missing out on the Mark VII.
I bought a Mesa Boogie about 13 years ago, and they were expensive then, but now that Gibson have got their grubby little greedy hands on them, they are ridiculously expensive, and out of most people's price range! Is there nothing that Gibson won't kill to make a quid? Bastards!
Big mesa week! First neural dsp and now the mark 7! I have a 25w mark V and it's great, running through a captor X and neural dsp IRs. Really enjoying the neural plugin as well for convenience... Big mesa fan, all my fav songs were done on a combination of dual rect or jp2c+ / mark iv
Looks like a great amp, but it's missing some features that I love on the Mark V such as: Master Volume (Mark VII has channel volume only), Variac Power Mode & option to use Contour Depth control instead of 5-band EQ.
I've owned and still own only 1 Mesa Amp, the Mark v-35 head, and that has to be the Amp that I'll keep till I go tit's up! I must have searched for 2 yr.'s to finally choose that particular that Swiss Army knife of an Amp, and using a Two Notes Torpedo Captor attenuator with it, saves on replacing windows.
I ve sold a Quad PreAmp years ago. There is no other tube guitar sound. No. Played Marshall JCM800, Fender Twins, a POD V2.... but today, at home i use a zoom modeler
i hear the repair shop is located on the international space station... :) .... lets hope it never breaks down because there is not a shop on earth that knows how to fix one
U know like a triple diode rectifier tube . with some u know like chemical tube also and a rotovibe or Leslie ratio pot . u know change the metal on some of the tube wiring . More like a chemical fuse
I read that Randall Smith spent so many hours designing the Mark 6 amp, and with the final product being above and beyond expectations, he decided to jump to Mark 7.
You nailed it. Amp builders only ever seem to include like 50 of the features I NEED in an amp but then leave out like 2 or 3 and then I'm like "Oh well, guess I'm waiting for something else. Again." Back to my Crate G15XL - killer SCG channel.
I've just spent an hour trying to find any information on the power supply... is it the same as always? 110v and rest-of-world versions? or have we found a variable option? is this problem so hard to solve?
As a proud owner of the MarkV, I have a few thoughts from what I've seen so far. Due to the redundant modes in channel 2, there are only 7 different amps in this one. I'm okay with just a diode rectifier - seems to work better for me. The new Crunch, MarkIIB and MarkVII modes are intriguing, but this amp doesn't have Tweed nor Edge modes. The mode layout is odd - would prefer Tweed and Edge in this: (e.g. Ch1:Clean/Fat/Tweed Ch2:Edge/Crunch/MarkVII Ch3:MarkIIB/MarkIIc+?/MarkIV) There are no EQ preset knobs so it's either the graphic EQ or nothing. It could be me, but the demos without the EQ seem just a tad dull. Finally, there are no OUTPUT/SOLO knobs. I am glad to see another 90w amp, though. It sounds crazy but the higher wattage transformer is worth the weight.
played a Mark V yesterday and couldn't stop for 2 hours straight, was a guest at someones place and he had to kick me out LOL. Hopefully the Mark VII will be my first tube amp purchase and maybe the last.
Looks amazing, but you innovated and gave us dual EQs with the JP2C, no compromise anymore between rhythm and lead sounds, it was a huge improvement and everyone loved it, it's not a feature useful only to JP or Dream Theater-type players, why going back to a single EQ now that you have the design?? Amp could've been perfect, man...
It's almost like the Mark VII covers all of the tones I use a Mark V combo & California Tweed 4:40 for now. Now just reissue the V-Twin, Triaxis & Subway Blues.
Dear Mesa: I'm wondering if you could manufacture a 50 watt version of the Mini Rectifier. I like the fact that Mini Rectos are more simple and don't have the dual rectification option that the bigger versions do. I also prefer two channel instead of three, for me three is overkill. The only problem with the "mini" is that I need an amp that can compete with a drummer. Just a thought! Thank you! Big fan btw.
As much as I would love to buy another amp and this sounds really good, I can say that between my Mark 5 25 and my TC100 I'm pretty sure I got everything covered, love Mesa

Might also be good to get a demo of the mark 7 sound...
Looks like I'll still stand with my beloved Mk5.
I gotta get a JP2C though.
As a proud owner of the MarkV, I have a few thoughts from what I've seen so far.
Due to the redundant modes in channel 2, there are only 7 different amps in this one.
I'm okay with just a diode rectifier - seems to work better for me.
The new Crunch, MarkIIB and MarkVII modes are intriguing, but this amp doesn't have Tweed nor Edge modes.
The mode layout is odd - would prefer Tweed and Edge in this:
(e.g. Ch1:Clean/Fat/Tweed Ch2:Edge/Crunch/MarkVII Ch3:MarkIIB/MarkIIc+?/MarkIV)
There are no EQ preset knobs so it's either the graphic EQ or nothing.
It could be me, but the demos without the EQ seem just a tad dull.
Finally, there are no OUTPUT/SOLO knobs.
I am glad to see another 90w amp, though. It sounds crazy but the higher wattage transformer is worth the weight.
Sounds fabulous in every setting !
Why doesn’t it have a Mark V mode?
Saving it for the Mark VIII.
Guys, need some advice.
This or a Line 6 Pod?
Good luck getting it fixed.
played a Mark V yesterday and couldn't stop for 2 hours straight, was a guest at someones place and he had to kick me out LOL. Hopefully the Mark VII will be my first tube amp purchase and maybe the last.
Looks amazing, but you innovated and gave us dual EQs with the JP2C, no compromise anymore between rhythm and lead sounds, it was a huge improvement and everyone loved it, it's not a feature useful only to JP or Dream Theater-type players, why going back to a single EQ now that you have the design?? Amp could've been perfect, man...
What are we hearing in these demos? A direct out of the amp into a daw with no processing? Or is this mic'd up?
I had a TC 50 I love the amp you got stolen for me. The mark seven is my next team.
what speakers are being used in this demo? is the VII tuned to be used with certain speakers like the recto/V30's?
Hey,
what about the Mark I mode in Mark VII? Is it gone or you can tweak it?
I remember asking my Sweetwater engineer about a Mesa/Boogie Mark VI just a few years back.
It's almost like the Mark VII covers all of the tones I use a Mark V combo & California Tweed 4:40 for now.
Now just reissue the V-Twin, Triaxis & Subway Blues.
are the fat and crunch in channel 1 the same as fat and crunch in channel 2?
Dear Mesa: I'm wondering if you could manufacture a 50 watt version of the Mini Rectifier. I like the fact that Mini Rectos are more simple and don't have the dual rectification option that the bigger versions do. I also prefer two channel instead of three, for me three is overkill. The only problem with the "mini" is that I need an amp that can compete with a drummer. Just a thought! Thank you! Big fan btw.
excellent
I want it already. Anything Mark by Mesa Boogie has room in my home and heart!
Are the IIc and IV modes identical to those on the Mark V??
I’m guessing yes because they’re the real circuits. This amp is overpriced and unimpressive in my opinion. Leave it to Gibson to screw this up.
All those sounds. Any info on the switch pedal provided to control the channels/sounds when performing?
How are you changing volume?
is it possible to safe presets via a midi controller ?
Sounds great! Any plans on having a new rectifier with the tightness of the Single-Rec series one in a near future? :')
