whoever edits these videos deserves a raise

[@daniellongo7873]

I think Rabea edits all the videos

[@markg2861]

Mesa Boogie makes the best amps

[@scription7277]

Yesssssssss

[@Crazy3189]

who ever is editing these videos (Dan?) has really stepped up their inserting funny graphics game in the last few videos

[@grantcahn2794]

I cried laughing at the closed back open area conversation !!

[@xJaGG3d]

A certain magical man named Rory.

[@coffeedog2355]

Much mesa, very boogie, such sound, wow.

[@neonether]

Nice one gents! I do live in sunny Southern California, and boogies are still wayyy expensive! On the plus side, 10 years later my triple rec still sells for 90% of what I paid for it originally!

[@BrandonNevermind]

These are some of the most versatile amps around, the whole mark series is... But this one in particular. I highly recommend it!

[@Lysdexia]

Hugely impressive rhythm playing throughout from Rob Chapman.

[@RobChappers]

Thanks dude ;-)

[@freddiew12345678910]

Rob Chapman your a really good player i have a question too though. how long have you been playin?

[@alitheo1]

Antony Zhuk it does not matter how long have you been playing ... to be a good guitaris the most important thing is how often do you practice or better how long you practice a day you can learn in a year what ve learned in 15 years

[@larrytate1657]

What's your fav amp for versatility Rob?

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

to play at this level requires severe dedication,no shortcuts to talent regardless of what you might have heard daily practice of several hours,to play lead fast requires hours of starting slow perfecting it,(for weeks)going a little faster perfecting it(for weeks)going a little faster,perfecting it(for weeks)

[@brucehartsell7863]

Rob, you always keep your playing fresh and really rock your channel dude. Love it!

[@danielsalcido3467]

By far the most entertaining and informative demo videos period! It helps that the playing is excellent too...

[@davidkay7673]

Lee's really improved his guitar skills since I first started watching these videos :) it's awesome to see that improvement documented so closely in loads of videos. Great style too!

[@12ealDealOfficial]

I highly enjoyed the tones in this one. That Les Paul is gorgeous as well.

[@leeanderton7100]

Yes it is!!

[@ryanybh]

Love mesa boogie products. A little expensive but the different tone you can get from one amp in mind boggling! Totally worth it.

[@tomreid2096]

I really liked Chapper's playing in this video! Its great to see how much he has improved over the last few years, keep up the good playing and the awesome videos! :)

[@anxiousmindmusic]

Of all the amps you've demoed this is my favourite.

[@shredmechanic]

These guys are so fun and versatile - they really make gear reviews entertaining :P

[@BlakeMullens]

I love that Rob edits these vids now, I CANT STOP LAUGHING!!!

[@leeanderton7100]

Yup - he's really nailed the last couple!!

[@briandennehy6380]

Ah man, those dread locks. No on so many levels

[@kittyairsoft]

He has normal hair now and I think he looks very mature

[@realtruenorth]

Brian Dennehy munky from Korn?

[@fadejmg]

Lee's playing is so much better. He is getting a really nice tone and feel out of that fingers!

[@leeanderton7100]

Thanks Juan!

[@FairlyUnknown]

You should do an active pickup myth-busting video. Take a guitar or two that has active pickups (mainly the infamous EMGs) and play the guitars through all different kinds of amps and really see how the tone does or does not change with the amps. The main haters of EMGs always claim that they sound the same regardless of the amp and that they suck the individuality out of the tones you can get. I would love to see a type of video like this cause it seems like a really cool idea and it's an interesting topic! Cheers! :D EDIT: Just to clarify further, the amp choices could be based on price. So example, you could start with a small $300 combo amp and work your way up to a Silverback, let's say.

[@BrandonNevermind]

They are basically normal passive pickups run through a small buffer circuit, the same as running a guitar with passive pickups through a pedal that has buffered bypass, or through a buffer pedal. It won't really matter all too much electrically unless you are running through fuzz or other impedance-based pedals.

[@Sensates85]

..or the same guitar with a different neck! like Capt's Squier maple neck swap with a rosewood as suggested below.

[@florianbaiker5519]

Actually it doesn´t sound the same regardless of the amp. It´s more the guitar. You can put an active pickup in any decent guitar and it will sound the same.

[@florianbaiker5519]

I used to have the EMG 81/85 Combo in my Ibanez RGA42. Switched to Dimarzio Titans and don´t regret that step. The Dimarzio have way more output in my opinion, but don´t crack up my clean signal. I think it´s a feel thing. Passives are more responsive IMO. Way more interaction with what actually comes out of my hand. I´m not a active hater. But honestly I would never go again with the 85/81, wouldn´t mind the 57/66, though.

[@Iron883Man]

In my experience they aren't any different from passive pickups sound/tonewise. They are just made to be loud and you loose alot of the interaction that way. It's like playing forte all the time and not beeing able to play 'piano' anymore. Not a problem if you play rock or metal, but kind of a problem when you're playing Jazz or Classical.

[@misticformula1485]

Rabea was killing it for a few seconds. I wanted to see him rip it on the Mark V 25 some more.

[@samatkinsphotography]

Big dynamic sound with a big price tag but the availability to tweak and find a tone which best suits you as a player can't be overlooked. Mesa Boogie's always seem a little daunting and intimidating for me as a player but I can certainly see in the right hands how fantastic this amp would be. Great review lads.

[@dcp10200]

Meh, the Dual Recto and the Royal Atlantic are more my speed in the mesa line up, big, fat, aggressive gain. Also the 5150/6505 is tighter and have more usable gain for less money

[@daw162]

the manual is a must read before noodling away, but it clears up how it works and it's quite nice then.

[@mjr2470]

omg!!! Bea Nailed more than words.... I had my lighter out!!..lol, great review guys, Thank you as always!

[@addictedtogear]

This thing will be my next jamming amp! Small enough to carry around easily and full of useful tones!

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

That last bit sounded really new. And very good. All the best with the record!

[@mcasey1]

Rob is such a great musician.

[@adamf.4823]

That Mesa tone is so unique and identifiable. It has this creamy, soaring, compressed sort of siren sound highlighting everything that makes it so vocal and expressive. You can always hear Trey Anastasio.

[@tresixteen]

Coming back to this video it’s so weird when the coffee cups don’t explode.

[@8KilgoreTrout4]

Damn these guys both know their shit. Great playing and truly in-depth knowledge.. Well played boys, well played

[@ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmism]

oversea purchased this little amp head few weeks ago...absolutely happy with this product and anderson's service !

[@Driftuner]

Man...Robs playing on the ML1-Pro (nicest Chapman guitar btw) was sick! And Lee! please make us a video of the Paula you will be getting next week! cheers guys

[@andonis.haniotakis]

Loved the ML1, sounded like a perfect match for the MESA. Great performance by Rob (magic fingers) + Captain (Fender fingers) + Bea (KFC fingers :-) on this video. Excellent review as always.

[@leeanderton7100]

Cheers!!

[@michaelstone7514]

Just bought the 1×10 combo. The crunch channel on this amp is phenomenal. Its so easy to play and very expressive. All the other channels kill as well but the crunch on the first channel is worth the price of the whole amp.

[@stefan.bar88]

Just my 2 cents. I only use this amp in my bedroom at it is perfectly fine and sounds great at low volumes. I have added a volume pedal into the loop but it wasn't 100% needed.

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

From what I've heard Yousician is the best way to learn, practice and master the guitar.

[@emilysmithguitar_8740]

NO WAY!!!! WHY HAVEN"T I SEEN AN AD FOR IT???

[@kannoncarey7482]

Just pick up your electric or accoustic and youll be on your way to mastery .

[@liamearly4883]

EmilySmithGuitar _ download it and practice.

[@RUHDD4HVN]

Shameless plug........

[@aguitarist2246]

RUHDD4HVN whooosh

[@mvramos]

Always awesome to see Bea shredding some Nuno Bettencourt's riffs.

[@JesseLeeKing]

Nothing beats the old classic Chappers and the captain... Best shit on KZbin and in the KZbin rabbit hole.

[@chrispygingerpie]

That ML 1 looks wonderful!

[@megaisaac9ify]

This video was so helpful and so entertaining haha loved it

[@insanemtl5890]

Wow, that's a killer amp! - And incredibly amazing guitar playing, I wish I was that good! ^^

[@GhostPoetCrow]

I was freaken WAITING for THIS review. Hell Yeah

[@maringo15]

Such a perfect guitar, such a great amp! you can't go wrong with those two..

[@joepell3352]

Lee please please keep playing that same lick, it sounds awesome :) also thanks for the video I've been waiting for yall to do this amp!!

[@Nsypski]

There's something about the distortion from the Mark amps that's so much fuller and alive than any other amp. GOTTA GET ONE!

[@Boomheyyou]

Did you get one

[@Nsypski]

@@Boomheyyou not yet

[@robertkscorpio3680]

That was very informative and very funny and entertaining as well - running through a wide range of Tones from the Amp. The playing demonstrated the Tones very well. The British Accents are sounding very authentic now as well- almost "Bloody Real". There was one Scene where Rob Chappers not only changed his playing Style but his hair style and even his face ! . Very Impressive Chameleon-like ability to change Playing Styles.

[@cwilson8083]

as always, good demo !

[@erikceman5354]

Oh man, this sounds really nice

[@biaco.6435]

Just wanted to do my part because he mentions its not really an amp to take back to your flat. This and the 35w can easily do low volume bedroom playing and sound good doing it. I love these reviews and nearly didn't buy it because of this one line in the video, and a similar comment in another demo. Also on the flip side this thing will shake your pant legs before the volume hits 12:00. Very few drummers will drown that out.

[@marklewis6889]

I agree with you.I was put of by that comment as well,until I noticed that most other reviews said the opposite.The official demo is pretty informative,

[@charlesroberts5369]

Thank you for clarifying that. I almost didn't buy one because they said that.

[@cgnefarious5785]

I just got mine today. I was surprised by how loud it wants to be, but yes, you can still play it fairly quietly. Seriously, I want to see how loud this will go but I can't really do that in my condo. It freaking roars.

[@jdl2180]

Mesa boogie amps sound amazingly good at low volume.

[@ssblu2112]

Holy shit Rob you played the fuck outta the guitar in this vid. Very Nice.

[@RobChappers]

Thanks bro ;-)

[@PrismaticDemi]

Rob Chapman You're turning into Devin Townsend :P (Not a bad thing)

[@keiths7942]

Lee! That custom LP is a beauty for sure!

[@MRKUE]

I like the D/I option! I see lots of possibilities with this. as well as a lighter practice amp!

[@drumualife]

incredible tone

[@GuitarJoooN]

just liked before watched, because i know its gonna be epic!

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

Really interested in one of these. I know you could never test it with every guitar so I guess I'll have to find one myself to play a junior through and listen. Great demo.

[@MrChiniwis]

That ml-1 sounds so good. really cool guitar

[@thebestanswer2]

fav yt channel thanks dudes

[@Enski94]

Hahaha, I love your video-editing. :D

[@chrisleguen2813]

Nice video guys, I have this amp and it's extremely versatile and is weapon of an amp 🤘

[@harrybroadbent1008]

Sweet boys keep up the good vids ✌️

[@snotskieter1]

Hey Rob. I tried one of these Today and I've decided to buy one. Since we are the importers of Mesa Boogie here in South Africa lol. Btw... I am the guitar specialist here at Marshall Music. Ps: Can't wait to get my hands on a Chapman guitar later this year.

[@jfrog3602]

Hahaha best intro ive ever seen chapters and the Capt. the corner stone to the guitar world on KZbin

[@elkinsplayboy]

In love with that ML-1 Pro!

[@Mr_Chocolate_]

What a beautiful guitar

[@charly88888888]

Something not mentioned (I think): having a fiddle with my brand new one, the EQ knobs appear to be pre-gain and the sliders are post-gain. Which is pretty cool, as it allows you more tone-shaping possibilities than you normally get. I.e. if you whack up the bass knob with a lot of gain it won't actually increase the bass level, it'll make the timbre woofier, and so on.

[@KazR]

God I love the editing on your videos...

[@giggs102]

editing on this video is so on point.

[@tommybrown4191]

I've got the combo version of this amp. I moved to Nicaragua. I put the amp in one of my suitcases and now it's melting faces here in Central America.

[@DudeOfTheState]

Impressive tones from Mesa

[@935lucas]

Man, the Ml-1 sounded better than the lp to me. Well done Mr. Chapman

[@DaManJoeWho]

16:37-17:02 BEST PART OF THE WHOLE DAM VIDEO! This is a great demo of an AWESOME amp, but god dam I am DYING for new Dorje!!! Those riffs kick so much ass

[@watisdis84]

What song was he playing during that?

[@DaManJoeWho]

watisdis84 last I heard Rob called it Collective but that was a while ago and they may have changed the name. Rob has been playing riffs from it for months

[@martinjaramillo5205]

He plays deliciously

[@lucianos1990]

you know what i wanna see? the whole view of how you record videos. the cameras, the mics, the people behind

[@buddinmaplestory]

Lee, you should really play more! I love your blues playing on a Strat!

[@imabookwyrm]

I got this with the 2x12 cab last year. I placed a Fishman amp on top of the cab with the head to the side of it. It's very nice. Love my setup! All around a great tone!

[@michaelcatone6186]

TheCannon101

[@ctcm]

Great demo! You guys should demo the PRS Archon 50 (It's a great amp as well) or the new Archon 25. I think both of you guys would love it!

[@mausoleummouth]

I'd really like to hear what you guys think of those 20 watt valve king heads peavey is doing....I love the micro guitar heads out there. Love my half/half stacks!

[@justyo96]

Always love the Peter Green! 7:35 :)

[@Gullintanne]

i know you've had people complaining about seeing to many chapman guitars in these reviews, but i totally want to see more of the ml3 classics

[@themaggot8]

The Bromance is strong with you guys.

[@mattchurchill]

The Strat sounded great ;-)

[@azazelophoenicia6295]

rabea afrooo chears from Lebanon brooo 🍻 keep the good vids coming !!!

[@jongregory886]

boogie rocks!!

[@marcbrowning7868]

Loving that Tele on the wall.

[@HansAaraas]

Love that amp.

[@Gizzorge]

Mark Series can't be beat!!!

[@discnmandoe9667]

Sweet amp, hope to have one someday.

[@paulbateman]

Like the little jam with John Petrucci's 'animate inanimate' riff :) Cool stuff

[@TJPenitencia]

Excellent run through. Thanks, guys! Laughed hard at the palpable discomfort in discussing price. Yah, it's expensive for a shoebox amp. Also love how you Brits pronounce it "BEW-ghee". :)

[@daw162]

It's interesting that this little thing makes huge clean sounds, huge marshally sounds, huge high gain sounds. It's got an EQ, two separate sets of controls and various power output level choices. If it was marketed as a 35 watt full size head, nobody would have an issue. I have one of these. Used for $1100. It is an outright dandy, and with reading of the manual, relatively easy to use. and enormous sounding. Other options are things like vintage amps that have no master volume, are noisy, and don't really sound that good at anything less than WFO. I haven't found an amp for less than this that sounds as good. And, I'm cheap - it's my most expensive amp by a mile. It's good.

[@purplerocket666]

what about a comparison of the mini rectifier 25 vs. the mark V:25 ?

[@Counterpoint]

18:43 - Bea sets the fretboard on fire! Good video guys, looks like you were having a laugh! Like the closed back fun! :D

[@guitarzrule718212]

I just wanted to say thank you Rob & Lee for doing these videos. I live in the USA. However, I watch your videos because I find them entertaining as well highly informative. Thanks again. About this amp, is there a fan like the big Mark Five head? If so, is the fan noise bothersome and can you turn the fan off?

[@kindnick58]

I like!

[@iangarrott21]

kickin' licks Chappers

[@noahtheviking1]

that chapman 7 string was just mint

[@EventHorizonPrdctns]

That's curious that you say it's not a "play it in your flat (apartment)" type of amp; I basically consider every amp against my ENGL Screamer 50watt combo that can get crazy loud, but still sounds GREAT at just .5 volume (master 1/10, channel 5/10). It makes me SO happy seein how much Lee is in love with his tricked out Squire. Money and brand names don't make music, having a relationship with your instrument and your gear is what it's all about.

[@SleepFan771]

Chappers was so great here! I hope you guys use Rabea more for these. I personally love his playing style! Let him know how awesome he is too Chappers!

[@alexmcrobbie8751]

Hey Rob, love the videos. Was wondering if you could do a small tutorial on playing guitar whilst singing? It's something I've been struggling with in my band.

[@yobhsiFehT]

Best superfluous editing ever lol

[@xPBKM4x]

everyone who watches this.... take into consideration that youtube could never do this mk25:5 head justice. this amp is the cleanest most amazing tone out of any amp ever. i am amazed. i have played through one but i did have the funds so if you have enough for the amp... DEFINITELY buy it.

[@ericboreen4040]

Interest-free credit is a great idea, kudos for you on that point. For my taste, this was one of the best demo videos you've done. Would that we could be in the room to hear the sounds before flash has its way and gives us whatever.

[@danhunsinger9788]

I love this little amp. I'm strongly becoming a Boogie fan. I've resisted them for many years but I think I might have to have a go with them. By the way I much prefer when Rob actually plays then just noodles around. You get a much better presentation of what the amp actually sounds like and responds. Even better when he plays Dorje Stuff.
