    @kenottenson9511 Год назад +1

    Wow I recently picked up this amp and just had the chance to play for an hour or so. It’s fantastic!!! So much versatility. Took me a few minutes to dial in and understand how the dials and faders on eq work but then pure sonic gold. I noticed with the dials and faders small adjustments make very noticeable changes. Love that eq section. Can go from V shaped scooped mods to a tight metal esqu tone in seconds. And plenty of volume for most jams and gigs, through my 212 that is. Not sure about a 112 but a 412 would go a long way with this amp.
    Very cool amp.
    Thanks for this and your other great videos. Definitely moved me to look towards this beast.

    Nice demo and comparisons. I've never been a "Mesa/Boogie-guy" either, but this amp sounds really good. I have to keep in mind that it's you who's playing and you definitely have your own signature style and tone which makes any gear sound fantastic. Personally, I've never been a fan of amps with built-in EQ's. To me it's just another thing to fiddle around with.

    i have one from a week now, lended from a student of mine, it's an amzing amp, gorgeous tones but i tested it live ( outdoor stage with drums, gtr, bass, 2 voices and sequences ) and even at 25 watts with a 1x12 the volume is really at the limit, it starts to compress too much, it doesn't have the necessary headroom for a live gig in my experience , you're constantly put on the spot because the amps reacts very differently when pushed at stage's volume. It's an unbeliavable amp for home use, rehearsals, little gigs or recordings but for live ....mmmmh i would go with real 90watt mark v. However it's a great sounding little monster and your videos are always good. Ciaooo

    Yes! haha... I wish someone took a picture of my face when I loaded up your channel and saw you reviewing my amp! and I think I asked if you would get one in not long ago. W2G, MusiX! :) I really, really wanted to hear you play through one of these. I bought this head with the accompanying 1x12 Slant and 1x12 bottom cab, mint, used here in town early this year. I also have a MKIV combo but it's in storage. Your comments and observations are spot on and what I really got a kick out of was when you went over the graphic settings, they're almost exactly like mine (I just had a little more 80hz). Also re the MKIV, I have to agree. With all due respect to Randall, it does not sound anything like my MKIV, as it shouldn't with the power section being such a big part of the MKIV sound. MKIV is still king as far as I'm concerned. For what I do, my MK5:25 is in the fat mode mostly as with the gain, you can still get some pretty awesome heavy dirty tones. Bottom line is for me at least, it's been fantastic here at home, and thanks to you, I bought the Bogren IRs and that was it as I really don't like the Cab Clone™ at all - too nasally. Thanks Euge, you continue to be the MAN!

    I've got the 90watt head and its awesome. funny thing is it sits on top of my 6505 head like what you have. I run it through k100s which really works well for me. also edge mode I find is a hidden jem for classic rock tone. I recently tuned my esp 7 string baritone also with emg 707s to g#. The mark v kills the 6505 due to it clarity and tightness. Great for recording. blending them is amazing however. so yea love your setup you gained a sub:)

    Fantastic demo. How does this sound with lower volumes through a cab - could you still get that JCM800ish tone?

      Sounds like an electrical hum. That happens quite often on tours at different venues etc. I’d recommend getting a power conditioner. I have Black Lion Audio’s one and everything in my studio gets the power from that and everything’s dead quiet.
      Sometimes also just plugging the power chord to a different plug or turning it other way around works.

    I am surprised you like this little Boogie amp. I almost bought the 35watt version years ago, but I am glad I didn't.
    I probably would have ended-up selling it. YOU need to get your hands on a Boogie JP-2c. Seriously. Best amp MESA ever made in my opinion.
    And yes, I don't like Rectifiers. After hearing the Mark V-25 against the Amp1 Iridium..... the Amp1 sounds so much better.
    And of course, the bad-boy too.
    Boogie amps are very expensive. The JP-2c is REALLY expensive. But you still need to try one! If I was going on-stage to play shows... I would want one of these amps: JP-2c, EVH 100watt Stealth, or ENGL Fireball 100. OR.... maybe...... a Fractal FM9! Hehehe!

    Hello Euge, I just purchased a Boss Sd1 overdrive. I have never used an overdrive on any of my high gain amps. I see in this video you are using it at a lower setting. Are you pushing the overdrive thru the front? It appears also you are using thru the crunch or higher gain settings on the amp? Setting the adjustments on pedal lower and using to define your sound? Would really appreciate your expertise answer on this. Thank You

      Yeah I’m overdriving tube amps preamp tubes to really fire them up. And since SD-1 have quite a narrow frequency (it boosts mainly the mids) you get a really tight & aggressive tone which I like a lot 💪.

      Cool! And Tube Screamer obviously does pretty much the same; the ”operating” frequency is just a bit different. I prefer SD-1 especially with Marshalls and TS-808 with my old 5150.

      @EugeValovirta230V  Год назад

      Likewise!
      I’m not that picky. I happen to own a clone of 808 and I’ve used that for over 20 years but I’ve also used ts-9, 10 etc. Whatever does the job and boosting an already overdriven there’s not that much a difference. At least to me. I mean a tubescreamer is a tubescreamer 😎.

I wanted to buy a Marshall SC20H, but first of all, they have none available here in Canada, and they also went up in price from CAD $1499 to $1799, which is the same price as the EVH 5150 III EL34. So my options are either that one, or a used JCM800 Re-Issue (the new one would set me back for $3999, and that's way out of my budget). The Mark V:25 is $2050 and the TC50 is $2600. Well, +13% tax on top of all that. So I'm debating what to get for that late80's - early 90's hard rock sound, without breaking the bank.
