Pro tip for any Mark V owners: wind up that global master up to about 3 o’clock and set your volumes really low on the channel volumes. Will sound way fuller and punchier than having the global low. Eliminates that mark v boxiness and anemic tone that people complain about.
Fantastic tip! Did EXACTLY what you described! That's a keeper! Between you and Kyle, I am finally loving my Mark V. Thanks!
Shouldn’t have sold mine 😭
1000000%
Kyle! This video TOTALLY cracked the code for understanding the interactivity of the channel tone controls and the gain. It's ironic that you have been somewhat reluctant to demo the Mark V, yet you perfectly outlined how to really dial-in the tone controls. The great Mark V tones have eluded me for years and your method is a gamechanger! I get it now!! Thanks for taking the time to make this!
I've owned a lot of MK series amps and still have a MKIIC+ and a MKIV. The trick with them is to realize that the "normal" EQ is in front of the preamp, which means that it won't change your EQ as much as it will change the feel of the amp and the amount of gain and tightness. Most people run the treble knob on 8-10, middle on 0-6 and bass on 0-2. I almost always run mine with the treble on 10, which will make the amp as tight as possible. With the treble on 10, the bass and middle knobs won't do anything. It's like you're hitting your preamp with a pedal that has an EQ on it. You'd want more treble and almost no bass to get that tightness. You can then EQ the amp with the graphic EQ, which gives you a lot of options and is very sensitive.
I love this amp. 2 yeara ago I lucked out and found someone selling a Mark V 90 combo near me for $1000, canadian.
Basically mint condition aside from the tubes being original and used... but still glow and respond perfectly.
Just an absolute beast.
Great demo by the way
I own one. The channel EQ controls basically are an overdrive/EQ pedal. Think of it that way. This is the most ridiculously versatile and tweakable amp ever made, for literally any style of music. The only question is whether anybody actually needs that many options. They seem to have dialed back the tweakability on the Mark VII in favor of cab clone, etc. On the Mark V, Extreme mode with pentode selected on the back, is insanely brutal and defined. The best high gain sound ever made. People are obsessed with the Mark IIC+, but it sounds like a practice amp compared to Extreme mode.
As for your sounds, there are no bad sounds, just taste. It will do literally anything. The only advice is, don’t use any pedals. You do not need them.
Extreme mode with all the pre eq knobs at 3 o clock and bright switch off gives quite a recto-ish sound. Great with a boost.
You’ll get punchier tones if in full power mode, not variac mode. But I do like how variac mode sweetens the top end on my V. There’s nothing I’ve heard in the VII demo’s that sounds better than this and actually not even as good, so maybe a testament to the V and the guy playing it…lol. I won’t be letting go of mine, 12 years and counting.
Owning this amp since 2015 and it's so much fun. I personally prefer it with EL34 (probably coming from JCM800 2203 background), there's so many different adjustment on tap, as it is well known for being versatile. I jammed with different friends from different styles and there was only good words for it. You can play pretty much all kind of music you want with this amp, including many types of metal. Go with your ears and not with knobs adjustments. You'll be satisfied.
The Mesa Boogie Mark amps series has nothing left to prove and the Mark V is no exception. A Mark amp in the collection is a must have (if you have the money 😅).
Once well handled, a Mark amp sounds absolutely killer. The amp sound from the video is great. Keep it up man ! 👍
I had a Mark V for a while and the crunch mode with the gain maxed and a boost in front was my favorite for rhythm tones on that amp
Crunch mode is my favorite channel on my Mark V 90, guess that's why they added 2 to the Mark VII. :P
OH MY! Dude this amp is just growing on my wish list! The price is just a bit high for me while plugins are killing it these days \m/
Killer tones. I personally like boosting mine but that’s partly because my main guitar has some pretty dark pickups. I’m a huge fan of the mark series and think they are criminally underrated for modern metal. #mesaboogie get this dude a Mark VII so he can show is what it can really do.
Day 1 of watching this channel: "Great content, not my style of music though"
.
.
.
Day 30 of watching this channel: "This person isn't getting this amp anywhere near saturation, why can't Kyle be doing this demo"
KB out here changing lives! Also go the MXR m77 and it's awesome with the OR15!
I really dig that silverburst Rhoads with EMGs. I need one.
Your videos make a real difference to aspiring musicians, it can be _very_ difficult and intimidating to navigate the space of music gear. Its hard to find good examples of anything that doesn't come directly from the manufacturer. These are big purchases and its just not easy to do comparisons without spending a bunch of money or at least a ton of time. You've helped me make decisions when I was shopping in the past, and I have future acquisitions planned that were informed by your demos. I definitely look at this channel whenever I'm in the market for another amp #mesaboogie
#mesaboogie Give this man one of your Mark VII amplifiers! We need to know how e standard thrash and dropped c hardcore riffs work on this with a simple SM57 setup and having the unprocessed audio on our end!
😂
Thanks!(in advance)
I owned and struggled with the V for 2 years before selling it and moving on to the good ol 5153 50w. No regrets letting this guy go.
Same here when I owned a Dual Rectifier. After 2-3 years struggling to find a sound I like, I sold it to stay with my 6505+ and get an Engl Savage MK2.
I also had the Mark V and sold it. I just couldn't find enough gain in the amp itself and for $3k I thought I ought not be dependent on a stomp box for my distortion. HOWEVER, I wonder sometimes if it's not just that I wasn't dedicated enough to dialing it in. I've thought several times about buying another if I found one cheap enough or maybe getting a JPiic when they come down in price several years from now.
I wanted the Mark V 25 from the day it was announced. Finally bought one last year and have been largely disappointed. About a month ago, I scored an insane deal on a brand new 5150 III 6L6 50w. From the second I took it out of the box and plugged it in, it sounded incredible. On top of that, the Mesa has been sent to Mesa Boogie for warranty repair after owning it for a year. Will probably sell it when I get it back.
I ended up also buying the EVH 2x12 cab. Didn’t care for the G12H and swapped them for some UK Mesa Vintage 30s. Absolutely killer with the 5150 III (and all of my other amps for that matter)
@@dennisfuzzhead4439 5150 style amps are just solid and reliable.
We want Kyle to demo a Mesa Boogie Mark VII!!! We want Kyle to demo a Mesa Boogie Mark VII. We want Kyle to demo a Mesa Boogie Mark VII!!! We want Kyle to demo a Mesa Boogie Mark VII.

16:09 those staccato palm muted parts are so satisfying to listen to.
the gain and presence knobs are crazy with this amp too
i never seen a Mark V head with the Mesa Engineering plate on it. My plate says "Boogie" :) great video... cheers..
I'll tell ya man this amp is a giant of al amps period. I have several of them and they ain't as hard to adjust as people make it out to be. Just about any sound is in it and sounds good at just about ever setting.
Old news, but it's going to be new to me since I have one in my online cart. So, I am completely pumped that you're doing this because only Euge has a decent knob turning session that I can find. Also, over the past few weeks of deciding on a new amp, I completely understand what you're saying about Mark Series Cultists and their annoying/bullshit opinions & rules.
Once one understands how the eq knobs work it is not that difficult to get good tones.
Glad you liked the MV. It's not that classic sounding, but it definitely can do quite a bit of different tones.
Grid Slammer on extreme is my go to sound. Love this amp
Great video man. Just got my Mark V a couple months ago, been playing a Dual Rectifier for years and loved that DR. Once I understood how the Mark works it opened up in so many ways. And I am using an overdrive in front of it to really make it scream.
Some channels are not really for metal saturated power chords. You can get a great SRV tone out of edge mode. Tweed is also a great blues setting. Crunch can get classic rock and classic metal tones and channel 3 is all about the metal tones, In my opinion. Appreciate the video though. Great job and nice playing
If you're going to demo/review/jam more of these mark series, you gotta learn some Testament the legacy riffs. You nailed the tone when you did master, before you changed the eq.
#mesaboogie Get Kyle a Mark VII! He'll review it better than anyone for us rhythm guitar players
Nice to see this amp in a play through again. It gets much hate compare to the mark iv etc. but I really like it. Great job 👏
Crunch mode boosted 👌👌😁 for mega chunky goodness. Would love to hear how the crunch mode on the V compares to the 2 crunch modes on the #MesaBoogie Mark VII !!
Thank you Sir! Just picked up my V and the other demos I’ve seen suck. Man you are so correct about how the slightest change of a tone knob can screw up the tone chase, but I’m finally making some progress. Much easier to dial in my Roadster.
Put eq in fx loop
Hey MESA BOOGIE, its time Kyle had your support with the availability of a MARK 7 for testing !
That’s my amp! Lol. Great demo. The amp is killer. Thanks Kyle! 🤘🏻💪🏻🤘🏻
I just picked up a mark v 90 watt. Sounds really good so far!
I thought the Gibson custom and the seven string sounded so good through the Mark 5. Really great video.
My God, how I love this amp. He's my favorite ever. The clean channel is also fantastic...
I literally picked up a mark V on Monday. I had the mark V 25, bit I wanted the big brother. The mark VII looks cool, but I don't think there's anything new that I would need from it.
Yeah I was saving for a MKV but from what I’ve heard I like the VII, so I’m just going to save and get that one.
@Gwynbleidd Roach I don't think you can go wrong with that, just has more features than the mark V.
#mesaboogie Get Kyle a Mesa Mark VII. The opening tone sounded killer.
#mesaboogie Kyle needs a Mark VII to demo please.
4:51 "The Mark Series doesn't need an overdrive!" 😂😂 So good! 🤣 Send Kyle a Mark 7 #mesaboogie !! 🤘
This makes me want a Mark series. I actually dug the shrill brightness on channel 2. By the time you said you liked it better, I heard a bit of a Recto sound. Never played one, but this makes me feel like I have. Your demos are the best.
I've comment on your videos before as a Rectifier nut but the Mark series has always been my dream amp. It's just so STUPIDLY EXPENSIVE. Thankfully Neural has my back with their new Mark IIC+ plugin they just released. But still want the real thing.
I love MkVs- and I have owned or played through almost every Mark made.
They are THE most versatile and easiest Mark amps to dial in…as long as you are experienced with them.
Great video, Kyle.🤘🏻
Great video Kyle, if #mesaboogie lends you the MK7 it would be awesome to get your perspective on it. And I agree the Mark series is tricky to dial in, but I've heard great tones and it's a very unique sound.
I'm more of a JP-2C guy but the V is still a cool amp and the VII isn't strictly necessary in my opinion. That being said, #mesaboogie needs to get this guy a VII to demo! Yes, I agree that the Mark series doesn't *need* an overdrive but it can be beneficial or sound good in certain situations.
JP2C is a beast... would be nicely updated with a cab clone IR....to make that function useful. But at $4800 retail in Canada... the Mark7 can collect dust... rediculous price...I'd rather grab a used V or a JP2C.
@@googuser3145 I would also argue the JP-2C has more tone shaping options even if it technically has fewer modes. It's got 2 GEQs, pull controls for alternate gain and presence voicings (you hardly see those on modern Marks anymore, at least not since the IV), and of course I absolutely love the IIC+ circuit, so having 2 channels where you can dial that sound in to taste for rhythm and lead interchangeably is just amazing. That shred mode is also so tight and further negates the need for an overdrive. Even beyond that I just love Petrucci and DT in general.
#mesagoogie sent this man a Mrk vii, we want to see his review please
#mesaboogie
You reviewed this on Variac Mode. The Full power mode change the channel 3 tone a lot.
#mesaboogie IMO, the key dialing in the Mark series amps is just learning how the controls work and what exactly they do prior to touching the knobs. Cause really, it's all very instinctive when you do that.
I pkayd the Mark V a few times but the Revv Generator I felt beat it out. Fatter, fuller and thicker tone all around.
5:33 sounded like you were on Edge, not MK1 there. Which also makes sense because it does have that “chirpy’ quality which can tough to dial around. You’ll get it perfect for the low strings and then it will slice right through in lead notes. I found 34’s in the amp helped that and then it’s a delicate balance of the gain, treble and presence knob. I found it recorded very well if going for a JMP 2203 kind of sound. The upper end sharpness didn’t seem to translate through the mic.
#mesaboogie Seriously, Kyle Bull knows his tones; you'll want to get him a Mark VII. I am surprised this hasn't happened already.
Hey Kyle, awesome video! Last week I was searching for some good tones from my Multiwatt Rectifier, then tried Pushed mode boosted with Fortin TS9 and it reminded me Mesa Mark series tone. I used to own an early Rev A Mesa Mark IV years ago and that tone from Pushed mode was pretty similar. Unfortunately I can compare those tones only in my memories, but have you ever tried that?
He did a video comparing them :D ruclips.net/user/livepYv-oJXLUHM?feature=share
Get this dude a MKVll to demo or I’m going to jump in a pool.
🎶Might as well jump🎶🤣🤣🤣🤣
#mesaboogie Get Kyle a Mesa Mark VII so we can hear his play through.
Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ, that Les Paul custom sounded killer.
I have all the big names, Marshall, Soldano, Fender, Vox, but my Mesa Mark V gets the most play and love out of all of them. Also #mesaboogie we need Kyle to get a Mark VII ASAP
Only Gibson would think anyone wanted another Mark series amp so soon after the V and the JP2C.
Pretty impressive demo for an amp I once had when it first came out.
Would love to hear you try the mark v 25.
I like to run mids high on the knob and scoop the 750 and 240 sliders. It gets the most aggression out of my 5:25
@Mesa make it happen with the 7
Awesome tone, sounds like a beast
Hi Kyle and Kyle's community! Just discovered this channel and after 2 vids I subbed. I am on the search for new gear and I try to cover the sound from AC/DC to Green Day to Metallica if that makes sense. I currently run high output passive pus (which I adore) in a JVM210h (which I don't like) and 2x12" Celestion V30s. My current plan is to go for 4x12" V30s with Marhsall 1960 vintage as cabinet. I also just bought the Boss SD1 Waza because I figured almost no matter in which direction I go, it's probably useful. I started looking into Diezel VH4 but I think I don't much like the sound of it. I see myself falling in love with the JCM 800 2203 more and more and I´m wondering if that's a good choice for what I plan on doing. IF yes then the question would be whether the reissued 2203x is alright or if I should opt for a pre '85 original JCM 800 and sell my kidneys. Thank you in advance
Just here to say, the quality of your channel is awesome, I love to see the dedication and effort made throughout all the vidéos. Inspiring!
Keep it up man!
The Mark VII is just a V with a higher price
You got that right .
I don't get the hype
New is always better, excuse to bump prices.
Most are saying the Mark V is better, who knows!
Killer vid way to do this amp some Justice the tones are sick
If you haven’t tried already, a Parametric EQ in the loop on a Mark amp is awesome, really makes these amps even better
I run the master effects puppet master EQ
Emprace makes a killer one too
Highly recommend trying one!
#MESABOOGIE!! You gotta get a shiny new Mark VII in Kyle's hands for a demo! He and Ola are some of the few gear heads that actually present usable heavy tones in the RUclips space!
Mesa amps have the hardest learning curve of any of the amps I’ve owned.
what fret wrap is that on ur headstock?
Looks like the Solar "Chug Damper." I have one. Nothing special, I'm sorry to say. It is just Velcro with marketing.
@@JoelCSabo I mean, that is what a fret wrap is.. were you expecting more?
@kanodogg I have a Gruv Gear wrap, a Chug Damper, and foam from an EMG 81 pickup package. The foam wins. I guess I'm disappointed that the Solar is literally branded rubbery plastic with some hook & loop inside. Maybe next I'll try some tape.
#mesaboogie I love my Triple Rectifier, but I still need to hear how glorious a Mark VII can be in Kyle's hands.
Help this man out and get him one to demo!
What is the difference between the Mark V and the Mark V 25/34
#mesaboogie we as Kyle Bull follwers and Mesa users would like to see Kyle do a video about your brand new Mark VII. I personally think he dials in some of the best tones on RUclips. Let him take it for a spin. Thanks!
Hey Sweetwater and Mesa Boogie,
Kyle Bull should demo the Mesa MK7. His videos give detailed reviews of amps for guys that play thrash metal and hardcore and more high gain tones. Let’s go.
Love your knowledge of amp alchemy! Do a series titled Amp Alchemy 101!!!
just a bumpI would love hit like button but i can't do because the number of likes (666) represents very well the essence of this amp hahaha. By the way you're completely right about the sensitivity of knobs from mark V. As far as presence, gain, master and treble controls, just a little touch and you turn your tone into completely different sound
What overdrive pedal do you have in the front?
That Les Paul sounded monstrous 👊
Wow it sounded killer in the lower tunings.
I never had the chance to play one but I really dig what I've heard from your video man :) If I ever find one (or a Mark IV) at a decent price, I'll grab one.
You won’t be disappointed if you grab one. I’ve been playing a mark iv for a long time and I’ve tried the mark v a few times. I think the mark iv sounds a bit more raw and pissed off than the v. Both sound amazing.
My friend owns one. I’ve tried so many times but I just can’t get a tone I like out of it. Its not very high gain at all.
using that mesa boogie is really intresting.
As expected, it takes the Grid Slammer really well.
I like complicated amps, I am a tone tweaker
Continually amazed how quick you can dial an amp in, Kyle. It would take me weeks/months to suss out what you get through in 20 minutes 😅
Guy knows his thrash
If it makes you feel better, there was certainly some footage that was edited out lol
IMHO Mark 5. I don't care for cab clone. I'll use my iso box instead. Tube rectification is the selling point for those cleans and some of the mid gains.
Edit: hey mesa!!!! This guy wants a mark 7!!!
#MESABOOGIE IDFK LET HIM DO IT!
Yes review the Mark 7 please
#sweetwater send Kyle the VII rack, then sell it to me at an open box discount once he returns it.
Hmm changing the guitar, BIG IMPROVEMENT. The rr and Les Paul.
Definitely, give him a M B Mark 7 to review.
@MESABOOGIE LET THE MAN PLAY IT!!!
Kyle, the MB Mk V sounds great... but how about the #MesaBoogie Mk VII!!?? Let's see how it compares 😊
Didn’t know anything existed after the Mark III!
So not only is there 10 pounds of improperly rated for the circuit electronic components crammed into a 5 pound chassis that make these an unmitigated disaster for techs to troubleshoot or fix, but they’re apparently also a nightmare to dial in for the end user. What’s the appeal again? Toans I guess?
I’m not certain about this amp. I would like to see you demo that Mesa mk vii
JPTR FX Nice Threads!
What’s the song at 9:56? 😏
It is old hats 🧢…… played them side-by-side, and the VII has more of what I want to hear from a Mark.
That being said….. you can’t really go wrong with any of them….. my IIB and IIC+ still rule….. IV as well……
IV is my favorite overall…. Single most favorite tone is IIC+….. IIB rules for bluesy grunge rock….
All sound best (IMO) through the Mark cab with EVM-12L’s on bottom and Celestion CL-80’s up top 🔊
Kyle- your tones always rule 🤘🏽
Have you done the MESA JP-2C yet?
All I know is I want a mk7
Chris Martin from Coldplay is getting this amp? Maybe they're going for a new sound.
