    Goodbye car.
    Hello Mark Five:25.

  • @vilewills
    @vilewills 7 лет назад +6

    I can't put in words how much I love my Mark Five 25. Feels like the first time in my life that I own a real amp and all the ones before were toys (Hughes&Kettner, Roland, Marshall). Thanks for keeping up the great craftsmanship and greetings from Bavaria!

    I bought one two months ago and it is mind blowing the variety and quality of sounds you can create! So articulate,I’m willing to bet the people that don’t care for Mesa are impatient and lack a clean technique.

    Thanks for the kind words, +Robin Jahnsson! RUclips is a great place to help customers and answer questions. :D. Regarding the CabClone in the Mark Five: 25, it ABSOLUTELY allow you to record without a speaker connected when you have the SPKR OFF switch selected. This engages the internal load resistor that provides for silent direct recording. Hope this helps and thanks for your interest!

      MESA/Boogie Thanks for answering my question
      Now another question about the footswitching. Is it possible to change channels from an amp control jack (tc gmajor 2/boss gt 100) instead of the one that comes with the amp or even with midi. That would be so useful to me. Im trying to find the amp used so thats why im asking.
      And is the headphone jack part of the cab clone, so can you only use the headphone jack without connecting a cab.
      Thanks again.

    • @mesaboogie
      @mesaboogie  10 лет назад

      Robin Jahnsson - Regarding footswitching, YES! You would connect your control jack to the amps FTSW input and when you sent switch messages from your floor FX or other devices, the channels would change as you programmed them to on your pedals. The Mark Five 25 is not MIDI capable but you can buy devices that interface the amp's footswitching and turn the signal into MIDI if the rest of your rig is controlled by MIDI. Google RJM Music for some interface ideas if you want to go MIDI. Regarding the CabClone headphone jack, it works with the SPKR ON or OFF, but the headphone and the DI Output cannot be used at the same time (you can only use the headphones OR the DI - but not both at the same time. Hope this helps and thanks again for your interest!

      Thanks MESA/Boogie​, this helps me alot.
      Yes i have found a couple of those (trs/midi or mono/midi) boxes that i could use and they seem to do what i would need them for. But, is the footswitch cable trs or mono (i guess it's trs/stereo because both channel & eq can be switched).
      About the CabClone, i would probably never even use both methods at the same time.
      Now if i can find this amp used i would buy it immediately :)
      Thank you for helping me with this.

    • @mesaboogie
      @mesaboogie  10 лет назад

      Robin Jahnsson
      - Nice! The ftsw cable is TRS. Top controls the channel switching and sleeve controls the EQ on/off. You can find you nearest dealer/distributor here: www.mesaboogie.com/US/Dealers/dealers___support.htm

      @catchofthedave8681 2 года назад

      Those clean channels. Like I don’t like metal or high gain stuff or chugging….when i get real squirrely i might play a few van halen style licks. But i never saw one of these amps and always wrote mesa off as overpriced and high gain. Until i played a used mark v 35w at a music store. I couldnt believe the amazing sounds coming from the amp. With no eq and a humbucker pickup on the crunch channel it sounded like the beautiful sound from a plexi. But the most impressive was the clean and fat channels. With a strat on the fat channel playing with the post eq boosting the mids…..id swear i was playing a steel string singer amplified nation…..or a dumble (though ive never played a real dumble but ive played a few good clones. And then you could run up the gain to just get it thicker and chewier and fatter. Then the regular clean channel just sounded like fantastic fender clean or a v40 duchess clean. On the first higher gain channel i was very pleased that it was like a pushed marshall into jcm territory. The mark iv channel was getting into the higher stuff i don’t typically like, but i found that i couldnt stop playing…..it was a good higher gain sound. Extreme i didnt mess with really.
      But i guess its like 4-6 amps in one really. And especially with the eq, You can really make it sound like anything you want. Boost the highs a bit and drop the lows for a clean vox, use the pre eq and post eq together and youll never need another amp, ever. I think i just found my desert isle amp. Who woulda ever thought me with a mesa?? Everytime i see someone getting ready to play a dual rectifier on youtube i click off their channel cuz i hate that type of music typically. I always associated mesas with high gain. I was wrong. These mark v’s are a swiss army knife amp.

    I just got my 525. After owning the Mark IV. I was looking for an amp that had more versatility for the bedroom but could still give me the Mark tight high gain sound I enjoy. The 525 fit the bill and also has a nice clean with options for more vintage style of tones in the crunch setting on channel 1. The Mark IV had tons of tones available, but was a lot more difficult to dial in. I'm a hobbyist, so the Mark 5 is great, it's a lot more simple and straight forward when compared to the IV. I made a huge mistake and got rid of the IV to a buddy of mine and tried a good grip of different amps before getting the 525. And nothing inspired me, or gave me the enjoyment that Mesa has. The IV was the first Mesa I personally owned and gave me a smile even a naked picture of Oprah couldn't get off my face. I owned a Rectifier afterwards, tried the Trans Alantic, Dyna Watt and Stilletto. They're all great amps. I can tell you Boogie has an amp for any style you want!.

Once I added the Jens Bogren IR's to my DAW, I was really sold. I appreciate the Clone Cab effort but it still ain't there compared to the Jens Bogren cabs.

    I am a proud owner of a Mark five 25 half stack as well; yet switched out the stock vintage 30 for a 25 W greenback. Ever since getting my hand wired AC 15 with the Alnico blue speaker, I felt vindicated in matching amp wattage with speaker cabinet wattage for perceived volume and headroom. The greenbacks may not be as loud, but they definitely have the iconic Marshall flavor, and definition with an overall more manageable sound compared to the mid range heavy vintage 30 that was a bit nasally for my taste.
    All the same, it’s been loved, it’s been used in the studio, recording, has seen its first major show of a national anthem performance, Hendrix and Metallica style, and eventually needs fresh tubes as I use a parametric EQ pedal with it. I love using the graph EQ to get that signature metallica sound with the mark 2C+ setting ever since jamming with a JP2C, and it is definitely a definitive Mesa boogie amp that spans the history of it’s sounds. Even the extreme setting works well for the rust in peace Megadeth sound when playing holy wars.
    I will continue to use it for the sounds that it has, and is.

    Hi +No M - This is probably one of the more impossible questions to answer since
    there are so many variables to consider beyond the amp... Like, what
    kind of cab will you be using, how loud is your drummer, do you play
    INSANELY loud, what is your monitor situation, etc...??? You'll have to try it out to be sure with your other elements (guitars, cabs, etc.) but with the right cabs/enough speakers, there's probably very few gigs the
    Mark Five 25 can't pull off. Hope this helps and thanks for your interest.

    Wow. Just getting ready to buy an Express 5:50+, but may have to rethink that - and opt for the Mark V (25) route. BTW Mesa Dudes, nice job on the newer-larger graphics of your tone examples in this video. Easy to read! Great video and great job by Tien Lawrence on this demo.

    I haven't used an amp in years. I run through an amp emulator and rely on pedals for various tones. My entire band runs totally direct and we have zero stage volume. We have a fantastic sound that's fully controllable. As such I haven't had any need or desire for an amp for quite some.
    This amp, however, given it's size, portability, functionality, direct options, and tone is the first amp in a long time to give me a bit of G.A.S. I've never really been a "Mesa guy" per se but this thing is a beast that suits all of my gigging and recording needs at a reasonable price. Well done Mesa. You may have just won a new convert.
    Now I just have to convince my wife. :)

    Possible to do a "Plus" Version
    With a 3 Position Footswitch allowing
    1)Clean .
    2) Crunch EXACTLY like Crunch Mode on Clean Channel.
    3) Lead Channel.
    As you have heard -many could just use the Existing Clean Channel Modes .
    If at extra charge the above could be done - would be great for Gigging.
    The Crunch Mode is great as are the Cleans- amazing Engineering Feat.
    This Randall Smith guy has a Future in Amp Design - lol.

    I don't know if any other company does this but what i love about MESA/Boogie is that they actually reply to people's comments on youtube and answer their questions and help them if they have som problems.
    One question about this amp, when using the cab clone feature for silent recording, does it work as a dummy load or should you always have a speaker connected.
    Btw, it sucks to live in europe because this amp costs like 1750€ (about $2075 incl. tax) here new even tho it has the cab clone built in.

    @TheCrystalyne 9 лет назад +1

    I was thinking that this amp would be great for studio visits, I have had a 5:50 Express for the longest time but its a bit large to lug around...but watching this video, it sounds like it tries to be master of every possible genre with very high gain emphasis. I probably wouldn't use 70% of the sounds in it....a bit disappointed as I was all set to love it...

    • @mesaboogie
      @mesaboogie  9 лет назад +1

      Hi +TheCrystalyne - Nearly all Mesa amps try to be very versatile, which is a mantra of the company to provide amps that playters can find many sounds with as well as grow with the amp as their styles, gigs and needs change. Our video demos try to showcase many different styles so that you can see the variety that this amp (and all of the others offer. Our Founder, Designer and President Randall Smith calls it "Value for Your Amplifier Dollar"... meaning that you have an amp whose Gain & Tone Controls are capable of a wide range of adjustment and sounds. It's important to keep in mind that... well... there are knobs on it and you will set those knobs on it where you want them... and the next guy who plays it will do the same. Maybe you're working on a Blues album/song one day, and the next day is classic rock, and the next day is metal. This amp will do ALL of those sounds - you just have to turn the knobs and find them. Compared to amps that are often referred to as "one-trick ponies", this is just ther way we do it and the way we think our amps should be. Your mileage may vary but hopefully this response will encourage you to check out the amp in person for yourself, turn the knobs where you want them and find out if it has the range of sounds you want/need. At the end of the day, no demo can encompass everything everyone will be looking for. It just gives you ideas and if it interests you, it;s time for more research. The best research is playing it for yourself - nothing beats that and usually the first couple of notes will tell you one way or the other. Hope this helps and thanks for your interest! :D

      +MESA/Boogie Thanks for the very detailed reply :-) Went into the dealer today and arranged for them to get one in from their HQ to try. One thing I do find very useful is the Cab Clone feature. I use a Cab Clone with my Maz 18 for recording at home and its excellent.

    I have a lot of amps... I'm still waiting on a boogie. The sound is excelelnt but it looks like a lot of work for a live player that has more than one sound. Other than being able to control the features remotely I would give it 8/10 based on the sound. I have reference monitors I'm listening to this thing from this video. It is spot on with a diversity of tone however -2 for ease of use.

    Very cool amp, and at $1299 it's within reach of a much larger number of guitar players who can't justify the purchase of a >$2K Mark V. I'm curious as to how this fits in your lineup compared to the Express 5:25 -- is it meant to be a replacement for the Express (lots more features with only a slight bump in price)?
    Unfortunately, 10 watts is still way too loud for home use, especially in an apartment. I know it has the silent record feature with cab simulation, but even the best cab sims don't quite have the same "mojo" as a real cabinet. They do a great job at what they are designed for -- emulating the sound of a mic'd cab -- but this has a different sound and feel compared to playing on an actual cabinet in the room.
    I would love to see an ultra low-wattage version of this amp. Specifically, a 5W / 1W, or even better, a 5W / 0.5W version. My main amp is a 15-watt Egnater Tweaker, and the master volume rarely goes above 10 o'clock when the gain is set at noon or higher. Even my tiny 2-watt Vox Lil' Night Train can be too loud to really crank it late at night. Price this "Micro Mark" a bit lower (or even the same) as the 15-watt Transatlantic head and I think you'll have trouble producing them to keep up with sales. I know I'd sell my Tweaker and Lil' Night Train in a heartbeat to help pay for one.

  • @fatboydashredder9877

    I dont use the gain channel. so its good to know i can run my distortion pedals thru a sparkly clean channel. but its nice to be able to use the fat sound to add some thickness.

  • @gakus123
    @gakus123 8 лет назад +1

    Hey. I got the two channel tipple rectifier. I wondered what the sound difference is to the rectifier and mark series. Thanks :)

    • @mesaboogie
      @mesaboogie  8 лет назад +1

      Hi Marcus - This is a somewhat difficult question to answer because there are many things to consider. That said, most people find the difference in bass to be the most obvious. The Rectifier offers HUGE sub low bass that still remain tight while Mark series amps offer very tight and controlled bass that can be made to sound huge with proper use of the Graphic EQ. The saturation is somewhat similar but many people hear the Rectifier distortion to be slightly more polished and heavily layered whereas Mark Series distortion is heavily saturated but slightly more raw. Finally, most people find Mark Series amps to have a little more forward midrange, whereas the Rectifiers often appear to be a little sccoped in Midrange, despite the fact that, compared to lots of other high gain amps, the Rectifier has a solid midrange content. Most importantly, we must suggest you get out and play the amps for yourself. The Rectifier is easier to set and just play, but if you like to spend time dialing in tones, the Mark series amps offer tonal explorations for years and decades. Hope this helps!

  • @sylvainalain6637

    Hi mesa/boogie,
    I own an express 5:50+ and really enjoy how the blues channel at 9:00 o'clock interacts with my od and boost pedals. Would the FAT mode on this 5:25 have an equivalent effect to the cleaner side of the blues channel?
    I am considering going the 5:25 route because it seems the second channel's IIC and Mk IV modes sound more aggressive... but I would not want to miss the clean blues channel due to how it loves my pedals...
