    I have the head version and a 1X12 cab with an Eminence EM12. This amp does everything I need it to, and that's saying a lot. This is a desert island amp for sure.

      wait, for this amp, the cab clone, can you just use a real cab? is the cab clone a simulation of a cab without using a cab? please explain, I am desperate.

    This was a really great review of the amp; clearly describing and illustrating features and demoing the sounds. I would have liked to hear a mic'ed cab as well by comparison, but the cab clone sounded pretty good to me. Your playing is terrific, and that guitar sounds fantastic as well. One thing I recently learned was that the Five: 35 cab clone has additional cabinet emulation options that are not offered in the Five:25 - maybe that is why some of the commenters noted that it sounded better than other demos of cab clone. I'm subscribing, if your other reviews and content are up to this level of quality, this is a great channel!

      Not sure if that's the case; in the video he says they're using the "Closed Back' CabClone option, while only the "Vintage" option is unique to the V:35. I think some people simply don't like it, but I think it sounds great here.

      Hi Tom, Big bad news about my 5:35... It came with a cracked tube. So the only sound I got was a loud hiss and then POP! Russia must be the only country that makes vacuum tubes, and well, we know what's going on with russia and sanctions. Sweetwater said they don't know when they are going to get any new tubes. So I am out of luck for who knows how long. Having said that, the amp is gorgeous.

    Fyi...when switching channels, if you have a different wattage setting between the 2, ie..
    Ch 1 set for 10w and Ch2 set for anything different, you will get a popping sound as he did here @11:13. And for the record, the popping sound is much more louder in person.
    If you have both channels set at the same wattage, doesn't matter what it is, then you will not get that popping sound.

      as good as the new cab clone might sound, the vast majority of people interested in this amp will use the speaker almost exclusively. That makes this entire review pretty much useless since it completely misses what we want to hear..

    • @corbitus1
      @corbitus1 8 лет назад +2

      For what its worth, the major selling point for me on this amp WAS the cab clone XLR out. I play weekly at my church and platform volume control is very important. Having the ability to go direct from the power amp section of a high quality tube amp to a sound board is huge. The three different speaker voice choices are just icing on the cake. I end up using the vintage voicing the most because it rolls the highs off a bit and creams the sound nicely. The actual speaker sound is a good sound when the amp is really pushing hard, but otherwise it can be boxy. Mesa tone tends to be clinical in the high end and the distortion character is quite sharp. Without saturating the power tubes, the sound can be a but fatiguing, but like he said, that also means playing really loud. Mesa Boogie produced some well recorded example videos of mic'ed cabs for both 4x12 and 1x12 paired Mark 5:35's. Check them out!

    • @usoppbarbosa981
      @usoppbarbosa981 8 лет назад

      regardless of the head, V30s are a bit harsh and ear piercing if you dont push them to make that cone wiggle a bit more.. if you don't care too much about low end i'd say yes.

    Is this really the Fibenare guitar straight into the amp? No pedals?
    And I don't quite understand -- he says they're plugged into CabClone with the presumption that it's going straight into the recording, but the note above says it's cabcone into the studio 4x12 cab, which presumably is then mic'd. What's the point of that, and doesn't it affect the sound of the CabClone?
