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.
Congrats on the new amp, James and thanks for the kind words. So glad it's working well for you and we hope it continues to exceed expectations and deliver TONE!
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.
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.
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

Ugly pig b*tch you should not be mentioning women I'll make your slutty white sister suck me off. :-) punks looking like little pigs lol. Everyone knows you whites can't fight, y'all have already gotten beat up. I scared you little dumb punks for life
I am a long time fan and Mesa Boogie owner, (Mark III) and have always enjoyed the rich intense sound it, and all Boogies produce. This smaller amp has possibilities in my routines and I am considering adding one to my stable. Thanks Mesa Engineering for producing such magnificent equipment.
Thank YOU,Michael DiGregorio! We genuinely appreciate the kind words and hope this mini Mark delivers the goods for ya! :D Let us know if you have any questions - happy to help. Thanks for watching.
I love my Mark V and when I saw this I knew I had to have one! This is just beyond awesome! And with the built in Cab Clone it just takes it over the top! Thanks Mesa!
By far this is the greatest amp that I have ever played. It is the perfect amp to pair with any rock or metal guitar. It is the ultimate pedal platformer and will bring out the full potential of your pedals.
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've always wanted a Mesa..I've had the pleasure of trying a few. Well, hopefully before I leave this Earth I'll be able to come up with the money. Great presentation !

Mesa Boogie has been my Dream Amp ever since I could remember. There's just something special about the spongy crunch that I can't find with any other amp.. One day!
Yeah man , it is not only expensive in Europe it is also expensive in Asia . It costs almost rs120000 in India which is £1200 . But mesa amps sound really great.
@@jsullivan2112 In main Europe (I'm checking a fairly popular german site), it's listed as the equivalent of $2200 (usd). That's for the 25w. The full mark V costs $3500. Granted, this is including VAT and 3 years warranty, but still a very hefty upfront cost.
Compliments on the product video. So many videos are hit or miss. I nearly felt like I had played the amp myself after watching. Seems like the most versatile and tone rich amp ever made. Watch out dumble
Your engineers are very literate! Or someone lucky with hearing and a sense of sound or both together). I've just broken my head how to get it!) The sound of your amplifiers really deserves respect!
Thank you Mesa Boogie , just got mine and I LOVE IT !! I also have the RV combo and roaster head and I love them both but this little mark just seems to get me !! Very happy customer
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!.
Thanks huge for the amazing kind words,Johnny Six! So glad the Mark Five: 25 is going great for you and we genuinely appreciate the glowing review and your enthusiasm for Mesa in general. Keep on rockin' and let us know if there's anything we can help with!
This is almost my story as well. There's still a few things my MKIV does that I can't totally replicate with the MK5:25 (which I've nicknamed "Grogu" lol) but this doesn't detract from what a fabulous little package this and I love it with the mini 1x12 stack I have as well. 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.
literally who disliked this video. you guys are absolutely killer and im so proud and happy to have even the one piece of MESA gear i have (mini recto 1x12 slant) and i cant wait to get better and pick up more, hopefully without gibsons grubby mitts having been on them. KEEP IT UP Y'ALL
Just ordered this last night with a Fillmore 19 inch cab. I regretted getting rid of my Dual Rectifier. My ex wife loathed all my guitar gear. I am very thankful to be part of the Boogie family again.
You should get John Petrucci to demo this! He gets amazing sounds out of the regular Mark V, so I'm interested to see if he can get tones that are just as good out of this thing! Also, I was hoping you guys would make this. This is next on the gear acquisition list for sure!
I can't turn mine off. I have a Mesa 1x12, 2x12 & a Bogner 4x12, sounds great into all of them. 10w/25w switching is handy for getting a monster tone into a 1x12 at low volumes. Great cleans too.
Love this demo up to 7:40... then it starts to go haywire, going full djentard at 8:36. You NEVER go full djentard! :) Excellent amps, I can't think of a single feature that would be missing, action packed with switches and options!
MESA/Boogie That was a bit mean of me, I don't like Djent that much. But this amp cooks! I have an old Studio .22+ and I'm thinking of upgrading... is there a mini Mark combo in the making as well?
I thought it was very funny, actually. No offense taken. ;) That's why there are so many different styles represented throughout the video. Studio .22+ rocks! There are currently no plans in the works for a Mark Five 25 combo. Thanks again!
I would love to add this to the stable. I'm currently running a dual recto half stack but I love the mark series sound. Closest I ever got to owning one was my mesa studio preamp that I ran into a peavey classic 4x10. Guess I'll just have to save my dollars up...
Thanks,GuitarToneFreaks. Appreciate the kind words and look forward to hearing what people do with this amp when it starts to land in stores (and gigs and players hands) in the next week or two!
It's a bummer Tien Lawrence isn't with Mesa Boogie anymore. He did a great job in the product demos!! I actually bought the Mark V:25 based on this video. Excellent job with the video production and presentation. Let's hope he lands with another amp company!
Still haven't found it in Mexico, I might have to import it or bring one on the plane next time I visit the U.S. I really need this amp, lol. All the features and tone in a head I can actually carry with one hand, I'm in love.
HiAristowi - Thanks for your interest and the kind words. We don't currently have distribution in Mexico so please contact the factory directly to discuss purchase options: mesaboogie.com/support/contact-us.html
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.
Great innovation Mesa! This minI version has all the things that I need of the original one. But I'm wondering if It has the same sound quality. It would be great if you guys make a comparison between both amps with hi gain leads. Thanks.
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.
Thank you kindly,Bob Venegas. Appreciate the feedback on the graphics as well. Mesa's graphics guy has outdone himself on panel art once again. ;)Much appreciated!
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. :)
Thanks,spalmer718 - Given your approach, this is a ringing endorsement and we appreciate the kind words. Let us know what you think when the wifey gives you the green light! :D
Just preordered one at Sweetwater.com with my rep, Joe Schafer. I’ve been going back and fourth for months on the EVH 5150III 50w head or the Mesa Rectoverb 25 Head. I’m glad I waited. Can’t wait to get my hands on this little bastard! Thanks!
This video was very helpful for dialing in a variety of tones! I found one that was not called out that y’all should try with the Fat channel with the Master cranked and minimal Gain! It is shimery, spanky and beautiful!
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.
+RobertK Scorpio I'm with you... I wish there would be an option to footswitch between clean/fat and the crunch mode... I wonder if it's possible to build in an option like that?!?
ALL CAPS EPIC WIN!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS MESA BOOGIE WE ALL HOPED AND DREAMED OF THIS DAY AND YOUR TEAM DELIVERED THE GOODS!!!! THANK-YOU THANK-YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!
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.
we need that extreme-mode-duo-demo in a full video version right away or my heart and brain will simply refuse to keep working..mesa, boogie it for me please, do it, i swear it will work, please!
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...
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.
Awesome, TheCrystalyne! Hope you dig and glad to hear the CabClone is working well with your Maz (great amp!). Let us know how the tryout with the Mark Five: 25 goes... :D
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.
Hey Mesa! have you ever thought of combining your three best amps into one? lonestar(clean) dual rectifier(ryhthm) mark 1V(lead).make it a three channel amp with your built in eq and solo boost.i dont know of ANYONE who wouldnt buy that amp!
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.
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.
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!
Another good idea : mark v 25:5, yeah a power switch like on the 5:25 from 25,15 to 5 w or even the power soak to have a true bedroom volume. Just an idea.
It would be awesome if you did a video comparing the roadster and mark five combo tones side by side. Maybe I should just buy em both. Wife would freak!
Yes.They say the didnt find faulty issue.Ive sent to them video as well.That faulty is not happend always.First time was after 3 days use amp and another one was last sunday.I just turn off the amp (wait about 20 min)and still the same.When supplier get amp yesterday- they said working fine but today tell me about verdict.
OK - good information, +Greg Zet - Again - sorry for the hassle. INtermittant problems can be difficult to find sometimes but I trust that your supplier knows what to do to make things right. Keep me posted and feel free to email me with questions.
Congrats, mrcali68 - Thanks for the kind words and hope the Mark Five: 25 is working great for you! I think the Gretsch is a Black Falcon model and agreed - great sounding and looking guitar. Thanks again!
GREAT amp ! I've been using mine for 6 mos now ...best, most versatile amp I ever used. The one thing that would make it even better is having the Channel 1 modes footswitchable - there's SO much just in Channel 1 ! Thanks, MESA
As long as the guitar signal isn’t passing through the mode switch itself, adding a foot switch for it probably wouldn’t be a difficult mod for an amp repair shop.
That last set of notes that were chorded were very distorted in a bad way;but got better when he played the singular notes. Loved the high gain power chorded sounds
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...
This just blew me away... Mini Mark V with the CabClone fit directly in the unit ? Well I guess I have to sell one of my amps and begin the long wait for the units to arrive here in Poland :)
givemeajackson Yeah, it's just plain ridiculous and I hope it's not Mesa that are setting these prices for European market... Even with tax, vat and UPS shipping it would be still less to import it from USA. Problem is the 110V, I'm not buying a small amp to pair it with a huge transformer :(
givemeajackson I can pretty much guarantee that if the amps were voltage universal and more people would buy them directly from the US the prices in Europe would drop within a year or two to a reasonable level.
Goodbye car.
Hello Mark Five:25.
João Gustavo de Águida
Hahahaha
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.
Congrats on the new amp, James and thanks for the kind words. So glad it's working well for you and we hope it continues to exceed expectations and deliver TONE!
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.
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.
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
Love this amp. It's perfect for my small home studio. I get all the Mesa sound without having to crank it up too loud.
PS: whoever is the man or woman behind the keyboard for Mesa/Boogie responding to all these comments - bravo; you're very diplomatic and knowledgeable. It's refreshing to see constructive, critical, and mature comments on a video these days :)
Likewise,Ugly Bunny. Appreciate your contributions as well. The innernet is a good thing...
You can just say "person" these days. Gender is not relevant here.
Ugly pig b*tch you should not be mentioning women I'll make your slutty white sister suck me off. :-) punks looking like little pigs lol. Everyone knows you whites can't fight, y'all have already gotten beat up. I scared you little dumb punks for life
Bunch of jealous ugly little b*tches liking your comment lol
I am a long time fan and Mesa Boogie owner, (Mark III) and have always enjoyed the rich intense sound it, and all Boogies produce. This smaller amp has possibilities in my routines and I am considering adding one to my stable. Thanks Mesa Engineering for producing such magnificent equipment.
Thank YOU,Michael DiGregorio! We genuinely appreciate the kind words and hope this mini Mark delivers the goods for ya! :D Let us know if you have any questions - happy to help. Thanks for watching.
Best Mesa demo video so far, IMO. Nicely done!
Many thanks,Ken Brownfield. Trying to step it up and appreciate the kind words!
I love my Mark V and when I saw this I knew I had to have one!
This is just beyond awesome! And with the built in Cab Clone it just takes it over the top!
Thanks Mesa!
Thanks txguitarslinger! Much appreciated and glad you dig!
yup I *love* small amps and I am buying this amp for sure.... Thanks Mesa more great products
love the demo with the Gretsch.
I bought this little beast week ago..Love It..One of the best amp ever had!!
By far this is the greatest amp that I have ever played. It is the perfect amp to pair with any rock or metal guitar. It is the ultimate pedal platformer and will bring out the full potential of your pedals.
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.
So happy to see this product. AND it includes the CabClone DI! You have out done yourself Mesa/Boogie. Well done!
I've always wanted a Mesa..I've had the pleasure of trying a few. Well, hopefully before I leave this Earth I'll be able to come up with the money. Great presentation !
I have a Mesa MK3 I bought in '89 and a 2010 Dual Rec. Best amps on the planet!

MESA/Boogie Mark Five: 25 Official Demo Video
Mesa Boogie has been my Dream Amp ever since I could remember. There's just something special about the spongy crunch that I can't find with any other amp.. One day!
I'm fairly convinced this is the best amp available right now. Unfortunately it's criminally expensive in the UK.
Yeah man , it is not only expensive in Europe it is also expensive in Asia . It costs almost rs120000 in India which is £1200 . But mesa amps sound really great.
@@darklibra2488 £1200 is a bargain, its double that price in the UK!
@@jsullivan2112 In main Europe (I'm checking a fairly popular german site), it's listed as the equivalent of $2200 (usd). That's for the 25w. The full mark V costs $3500. Granted, this is including VAT and 3 years warranty, but still a very hefty upfront cost.
In Canada it’s around 2000 to 4000
@@cookingwithbrady94 I can buy one super clean for 2000can. I'm tempted
Might I say that all of the licks and riffs were played AMAZINGLY!
Just bought a Mark V head from Wildwood Guitars in Louisville, Co. AMAZING AMP! Mesa makes a amazing amp, very pleased!
Thanks for the support and kind words, Dylan Steiner - So glad you're digging it! :D
Compliments on the product video. So many videos are hit or miss. I nearly felt like I had played the amp myself after watching. Seems like the most versatile and tone rich amp ever made. Watch out dumble
Your engineers are very literate! Or someone lucky with hearing and a sense of sound or both together). I've just broken my head how to get it!) The sound of your amplifiers really deserves respect!
Wow, this is so awesome. Might be just what I've been looking for to add to my arsenal.
This is so amazing mesa! This is exactly what I needed! Please don't discontinue this for years! In a few years I will buy this if its still around ;)
hope u bought it
Thank you Mesa Boogie , just got mine and I LOVE IT !! I also have the RV combo and roaster head and I love them both but this little mark just seems to get me !! Very happy customer
Thanks,jetrecords11 - Glad you're diggin' it! :D
Good lord! That's a great sounding amp. Hope it's available soon worldwide... Have to get my hands on it!
Great amp. Saving up for one.
Just got my hands on one, with mini recto slant cab.
What an amp, and LOUD!
Awesome amplifier! I glad I waited for it to be released, to ad to my mountain of other various amplifiers!!!
Just a great, well described and demonstrated amp, and kudos to the manufacturer for answering questions. Love the versatility.
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!.
Thanks huge for the amazing kind words,Johnny Six! So glad the Mark Five: 25 is going great for you and we genuinely appreciate the glowing review and your enthusiasm for Mesa in general. Keep on rockin' and let us know if there's anything we can help with!
@@mesaboogie Mark 525 is still my favorite amp, #000204. going strong!
This is almost my story as well. There's still a few things my MKIV does that I can't totally replicate with the MK5:25 (which I've nicknamed "Grogu" lol) but this doesn't detract from what a fabulous little package this and I love it with the mini 1x12 stack I have as well. 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.
Just tried the 1x10 Combo, and was wowed by the tones in that little monster. Very helpful video, thanks.
That Les Paul tone in the Mark V :O:O:O
Eat your heart out Gibson/Marshall combo
I like this very much.
Must decide between this or the new 50/25 watt PRS Archon they just released.
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.
Congratz, this is going to be a huge hit for you guys. wow
Thanks,satch72 - hope you're right! :)
Just ordered one, really excited to try it out!
Wonderful amp - its almost too wonderful - so many good sounds its hard to dial in for live use....you need three of these amps on stage!
SO FREAKING AWESOME ... NOW I KNOW WHAT I'M GETTING FOR CHRISTMAS !!!
Yes agree this I'd the best demo of an amp I have seen. I used to have a rectoverb and had to sell..but if funds are there would like one off these:-)
literally who disliked this video. you guys are absolutely killer and im so proud and happy to have even the one piece of MESA gear i have (mini recto 1x12 slant) and i cant wait to get better and pick up more, hopefully without gibsons grubby mitts having been on them. KEEP IT UP Y'ALL
Just ordered this last night with a Fillmore 19 inch cab. I regretted getting rid of my Dual Rectifier. My ex wife loathed all my guitar gear. I am very thankful to be part of the Boogie family again.
You should get John Petrucci to demo this! He gets amazing sounds out of the regular Mark V, so I'm interested to see if he can get tones that are just as good out of this thing!
Also, I was hoping you guys would make this. This is next on the gear acquisition list for sure!
HeyAaronmac404 - This is a great idea... AND - a distinct possibility! Stay tuned. ;)
MESA/Boogie This would be ULTRA awesome !
MESA/Boogie John Petrucci is the best advertising for you ;)
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/gjkfArHfV6Q/видео.html
I can't turn mine off. I have a Mesa 1x12, 2x12 & a Bogner 4x12, sounds great into all of them. 10w/25w switching is handy for getting a monster tone into a 1x12 at low volumes. Great cleans too.
Love this demo up to 7:40... then it starts to go haywire, going full djentard at 8:36. You NEVER go full djentard! :) Excellent amps, I can't think of a single feature that would be missing, action packed with switches and options!
HAHALeon Žunec - full 'Djentard', huh. Gotta go big at the end, though. ;)Thanks for the kind words!
MESA/Boogie
That was a bit mean of me, I don't like Djent that much. But this amp cooks! I have an old Studio .22+ and I'm thinking of upgrading... is there a mini Mark combo in the making as well?
I thought it was very funny, actually. No offense taken. ;) That's why there are so many different styles represented throughout the video. Studio .22+ rocks! There are currently no plans in the works for a Mark Five 25 combo. Thanks again!
I would love to add this to the stable. I'm currently running a dual recto half stack but I love the mark series sound. Closest I ever got to owning one was my mesa studio preamp that I ran into a peavey classic 4x10. Guess I'll just have to save my dollars up...
Hi Tien, this is absolutely an amazing innovation by Mesa Boogie. For $1299, this is a great amp at a great price!
My next amp!
Thanks,GuitarToneFreaks. Appreciate the kind words and look forward to hearing what people do with this amp when it starts to land in stores (and gigs and players hands) in the next week or two!
Come on tax return!! :)
$2400 in Australia. Terribly overpriced.
Got mine a week ago. Its everything I'd hoped for and more! And I'm still exploring
These things look and sound amazing.
Many thanks, +James Cooper ! Glad you dig... :)
It's a bummer Tien Lawrence isn't with Mesa Boogie anymore. He did a great job in the product demos!! I actually bought the Mark V:25 based on this video. Excellent job with the video production and presentation. Let's hope he lands with another amp company!
Still haven't found it in Mexico, I might have to import it or bring one on the plane next time I visit the U.S. I really need this amp, lol. All the features and tone in a head I can actually carry with one hand, I'm in love.
HiAristowi - Thanks for your interest and the kind words. We don't currently have distribution in Mexico so please contact the factory directly to discuss purchase options: mesaboogie.com/support/contact-us.html
We are so close, and at at the same time so far, lol. Thanks, I will contact you.
excellent! I'm just waiting for a new version of Triaxis or Mark Series preamp/ Rack version.
Very very versatile sounding amp!
Another masterpiece by Mesa!!!!!
heard lots of good steve vai tones in there, i'm getting one!
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.
The most beautiful amp ever.
Well, this seems to be a great option for the ones that want something smaller with all the options the mark series can give.
Very nice guys!
Thanks, Christian Overland - exactly what we were going for, there. ;) Appreciate the kind words.
;)! Im hoping one day you will have a dealer here in Chile hehe.
Never been so convinced to buy an amp since the big Mark V!
Those are some ferocious tones! And extremely versatile! Awesome!
Great innovation Mesa! This minI version has all the things that I need of the original one. But I'm wondering if It has the same sound quality. It would be great if you guys make a comparison between both amps with hi gain leads. Thanks.
at last!! a boogie I can afford!! superb ...
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.
Thank you kindly,Bob Venegas. Appreciate the feedback on the graphics as well. Mesa's graphics guy has outdone himself on panel art once again. ;)Much appreciated!
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. :)
Thanks,spalmer718 - Given your approach, this is a ringing endorsement and we appreciate the kind words. Let us know what you think when the wifey gives you the green light! :D
Just preordered one at Sweetwater.com with my rep, Joe Schafer. I’ve been going back and fourth for months on the EVH 5150III 50w head or the Mesa Rectoverb 25 Head. I’m glad I waited. Can’t wait to get my hands on this little bastard! Thanks!
How much is it at sweetwater?
ProgRockMetal2112 Sweetwater has it for $1,299. Call Joe Schafer at extension 1393, he can pre-order one for you.
Thanks!
This video was very helpful for dialing in a variety of tones! I found one that was not called out that y’all should try with the Fat channel with the Master cranked and minimal Gain! It is shimery, spanky and beautiful!
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.
+RobertK Scorpio I'm with you... I wish there would be an option to footswitch between clean/fat and the crunch mode... I wonder if it's possible to build in an option like that?!?
ALL CAPS EPIC WIN!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS MESA BOOGIE WE ALL HOPED AND DREAMED OF THIS DAY AND YOUR TEAM DELIVERED THE GOODS!!!! THANK-YOU THANK-YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!
ThanksKelly Jackson - much appreciated and glad you dig!
I LOVE MESA BOOGIE FOR EVER AND EVER !!! THE BEST OF THE BEST'S !!!
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.
we need that extreme-mode-duo-demo in a full video version right away or my heart and brain will simply refuse to keep working..mesa, boogie it for me please, do it, i swear it will work, please!
Pe Peroni Working on it, mate. Hang in there. ;)
MESA/Boogie
it will be the longest hanging-in of my life! XD thanks guys)
We need a file of that duo as well haha : )
AutonomistBand
nice work guys)
I'm so sick of hearing my guitar through headphones and a DAW; it's time to move some air.
Hallelujah, Walt Chalmers - We're with you! :D
haha same for me !!! Can't play through headphones !!!!!!!!
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...
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.
Awesome, TheCrystalyne! Hope you dig and glad to hear the CabClone is working well with your Maz (great amp!). Let us know how the tryout with the Mark Five: 25 goes... :D
Been Waiting For An Amp Like This 4Ever.....\m/....
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.
I'm thinking about replacing my Dual Rectifier with this one . Looks better for playing at home. Looks great.
Hey Mesa! have you ever thought of combining your three best amps into one? lonestar(clean) dual rectifier(ryhthm) mark 1V(lead).make it a three channel amp with your built in eq and solo boost.i dont know of ANYONE who wouldnt buy that amp!
That sounds like a great idea, boogieplex ! ;)
I think you literally predicted the Triple Crown 😅
@@mesaboogie please tell me that because of this comment, some good hardworking men, and alot of circuits, you built the triple crown.
JP2C
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.
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.
Hey. I got the two channel tipple rectifier. I wondered what the sound difference is to the rectifier and mark series. Thanks :)
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!
Another good idea : mark v 25:5, yeah a power switch like on the 5:25 from 25,15 to 5 w or even the power soak to have a true bedroom volume. Just an idea.
It would be awesome if you did a video comparing the roadster and mark five combo tones side by side. Maybe I should just buy em both. Wife would freak!
Got Mini Rec. already. Next Station is Mark V 25 :D
Yes.They say the didnt find faulty issue.Ive sent to them video as well.That faulty is not happend always.First time was after 3 days use amp and another one was last sunday.I just turn off the amp (wait about 20 min)and still the same.When supplier get amp yesterday- they said working fine but today tell me about verdict.
OK - good information, +Greg Zet - Again - sorry for the hassle. INtermittant problems can be difficult to find sometimes but I trust that your supplier knows what to do to make things right. Keep me posted and feel free to email me with questions.
I'm now a proud owner of one of these awesome amps! Question, what type of Gretsch is that at 5:17 That sounds (and looks) gorgeous!!!!
Congrats, mrcali68 - Thanks for the kind words and hope the Mark Five: 25 is working great for you! I think the Gretsch is a Black Falcon model and agreed - great sounding and looking guitar. Thanks again!
Dreams eventually comes true 8)
Ive had mine for about 2 weeks - finest amp ever!
Congrats, Paul! :D
My New Amp Is HERE!
GREAT amp ! I've been using mine for 6 mos now ...best, most versatile amp I ever used. The one thing that would make it even better is having the Channel 1 modes footswitchable - there's SO much just in Channel 1 ! Thanks, MESA
Thank YOU Phillippo - so glad you're digging it! :)
Anything on the horizon for that extra mode switching capability??
Philippo Franchini
Sorry to say, but no. :/
As long as the guitar signal isn’t passing through the mode switch itself, adding a foot switch for it probably wouldn’t be a difficult mod for an amp repair shop.
i wish i could afford one, sounds unreal
A smaller version of my favorite amp!? Time to start saving..
That last set of notes that were chorded were very distorted in a bad way;but got better when he played the singular notes. Loved the high gain power chorded sounds
Una sola palabra EXCELENTE !!!
Mi favorito, definitivamente
Thanks, M Valencia ! :D
LOVE my M5 25.
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...
Fantastic amp have played it the crunch mode is Aces ! Its expensive true but the build quality is outstanding!
sounds much more convincing than the mini rec.
Tien is awesome at these demo's. I want one.
Too kind, Mark Boogie. Thanks!
I will..Thx..I hope so they sorted out or the swap for different one.
This just blew me away... Mini Mark V with the CabClone fit directly in the unit ? Well I guess I have to sell one of my amps and begin the long wait for the units to arrive here in Poland :)
Well I just found out it's going to cost $2500 in Europe... My heart sank ;(
cubixthe are you kidding??? alright, i'll stick with engl in that case.
givemeajackson Yeah, it's just plain ridiculous and I hope it's not Mesa that are setting these prices for European market... Even with tax, vat and UPS shipping it would be still less to import it from USA. Problem is the 110V, I'm not buying a small amp to pair it with a huge transformer :(
cubixthe true.
givemeajackson I can pretty much guarantee that if the amps were voltage universal and more people would buy them directly from the US the prices in Europe would drop within a year or two to a reasonable level.
