there isn't much to tempt a mark v owner. The vii strips out a lot of sound affecting functionality. It's a downgrade aside from built in IR and reactive load. I'm betting the mark v prices skyrocket.
@@Returnality im surprised to hear that. In the demos I’ve seen, the mark VII sounds tight to a fault. Almost like it’s a solid state amp. I’m interested in seeing demos from regular consumers.
@@jcradical2520 I just listened on a better set of speakers (I was dumb ad using my laptop) and yeah, you're probably right. I stand by my observation on the top end though, I don't like the way it's shaped in the mark vii compared to the mark v
Literally majority of the character comes from the IR or the mic. The clean sounds sounded so different they may have both been different amps. Love the sound of the 7
Hmmm not sure if this is an amp people would need. A revised mark V, better irs, midi .... apart from the platform upgrades, soundwise i have my doubts. It sounds killer, but nothing sounds really new. If this would've stereo, that would be a whole different deal for me.
It's a Mark V thats missing the edge, Mark I, and tweed voices, partially shared voices on channels 1 and 2, only has one rectification option (silicon) rather than silicon or tube, and has less interesting power scaling options with no pure class A/B mode. What's new is the addition of a new Mark VII mode, a Mark IIB mode, and a 8-position cabclone IR. Honestly, it sounds like an inferior Mark V to me that also costs more...
Also missing Extreme circuit and variance (Tweed power mode)… that’s a lot of missing, probably better to stick to Mark V that stays the best studio amp…. While mark VII just seems more oriented for live.
ooh I was dead worried for a sec that my Mark V is past it....but there doesn't seem to be anything on the MKVii that I wish my one had. In fact, there are things missing on this new amp that I couldn't do without! If the Mark V is no longer produced, I think they will go up in value as I can't be the only Boogie owner who's not feeling' this?
I also can’t imagine to use my mkV without the tube rectifier on ch1 and 2. Missing master volume and solo volume…yes, IRs and cabclone are fine but it can be added later in the chain if needed.
Great vid, like all your vids. Question, I started watching your vids back around 2012 when I got back into playing again. What happened to the other bald headed guy who was older? Have not seen him for quite awhile.
@@NStuffMusic thank you very much for the info. There was another guy who did demos too that was more into rock than Mark, I forget his name. Mark was more of a clean tone player. I like this new guy, he gets some good rock and crunch tones going.
It seems like 3/4 of the amp is basically nothing that you can't get out of a fender twin reverb, then the rest 1/4 is something that you could BETTER get out of a JP2C....This up has Gibson all over it. Too much "authentic" playing, but misses the bullseye. I would rather pay for a JP2C which is the best metal amp in the world probably and has at least 2 similar cleans which is more than you will ever need really.
Thank you for perfectly describing what I was thinking. The mark V 90 was a jack of all trades and master of none, but it was really great at several things. This new one seems like it’s not great at anything. It’s great that it has variety, but it somehow sounds more flat than a modeler.
@@aaronshortmusic Not at all. It is a versatile amp, so it does take a little bit of tinkering, but that's like every other amp as well... Infinite possibilities!
@@phishphan5732 Yes, that’s Gibson’s marketing department’s reasoning for V > VII. But Peavey’s classic Mark VI bass amp is the most obvious copyright stumbling block for skipping VI.
Great. Way to play this like someone on Cialis. What’s with all the fucking dad rock demos on this fucking amp? It’s like you’re all afraid you’re going to accidentally make this amp do ANYTHING other than live art festival ambience.
Anyone looking for mark V or triple crown, prolly gonna be a buyers market on those, lol.

@@jcradical2520 Yeah, the vii has a much mushier low end and loses a lot of the top end sparkle that the v had.

I just got a brand new Mark V out of the box last night and I am in absolute heaven with it!
Came for the tones, stayed for the faces
Long live the Mesa Mark IV 😂😂
I think you meant VI lol
And Mark III is always forgotten :'(
Sounds killer…love those clean tones

Great clean tones in this demo! Just wished they had kept the Tweed mode.

Aaah yeah…very important for me when recording in studio…hardwire bypass switch missing as well.
First! Seriously I was not expecting this?! Might need to check one out in town meow!!! \m/
I still can't get used to the idea that it's One Punch Man testing guitars and amps on this channel
No global master?
I have a Mark V 90 and various cabs. Did I miss the Mark VI?
The JP-IIC was labeled mk VI internally if i recall correctly
Great vid, like all your vids.

Thanks for being a loyal watcher! Mark actually still plays all over the Pittsburgh area, but he parted ways with N Stuff back in 2017..

I have the MKV 90w combo, despite the Cabclone, what is the big difference? to be called a VII
Its great to have another choice in a midi controlled Mark. I would rather have this than a JP2C.
@@chrisx742 a RJM gizmo do the job
The bigger transformer in the 7
Cab clone bits sound dreadful compared to the mic’d portions.
can anyone help and how to figure out certain fuzz sounds with the rams head big muff?
It seems Mesa Boogie has a bit of a problem with Roman numerals 😂

Wait a sec??!?!! I didn't know Joe Satriani had an evil twin?!?!?!
A Mark V Version 2 ???
april fools? (1 month early)
More dad rock please -.-
What is the story behind the intro song?
It's a bad Avril Lavigne joke....
@@NStuffMusic Are you saying that the amp is hard to dial in? I’m thinking of getting one!
@@aaronshortmusic Not at all. It is a versatile amp, so it does take a little bit of tinkering, but that's like every other amp as well... Infinite possibilities!
Was it Peavey which owns rights to Mark VI title? Thus, Mesa goes straighth from Mark V into Mark VII.
Mesa’s own press said the revisions to make Mark VI took so long, they just went to Mark VII

What do you want him to play in the demo? Djent? You don’t need a markvII for that just a cheap peavey and a metal master pedal.
