MESA/Boogie MARK V | The Tone Monster

[@LeonTodd]

The world's most unforgiving amplifiers. You sound particularly great through this beast.

[@MorswinCzcigodny]

Nothing beats your mark IV tones Leon. Unless Euge gets it on his channel of course lol

[@SluggerStark]

They definitely are. Similar to my old VHT/Fryette Pittbull UL in that respect.

Best review of this amp on KZbin. I have the same Mark V 90 watt going through a dual rectifier oversized cab. There is nothing that compares in my humble opinion. I get exactly what you are trying to say. Just watching the smile on your face as you talk about the Mark said it all. Thanks for a great review.

[@levanchikvaidze3519]

The amp used by some of my all time favorite musicians. Sounds sick! It can be tight or give you sag. It can be really wide, but still mid-heavy. Also, your demos are the best amp demos on KZbin imo. It’s awesome to hear a song in the beginning every time, cause you do it right so amp shines with it’s best.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Indeed 👌. Thanks man! Really glad to hear this!

[@beeps123]

It’s amazing how the presentation can change the perception. I’ve owned this for more than a year and tried it just once. Now I can’t wait to get back home and plug it in. I have the 90 combo. But I’ll wire it through the recto cab. Thanks for a great video.

[@akilaakso2641]

I’ve had a Mark V 90W for a decade, but your enthusiasm and playing on this vid was so contagious that I had to play with it again for a few hours right after watching this clip! 😁 What a brutally awesome and freakingly versatile piece of art this amp is 🤘🏻 A cork-sniffer’s tip: For the very best-est tone for recording, hard bypass the fx loop with the switch on the back panel. Bypassing the loop circuit completely improves further the clarity and openness of the sound quite a bit, especially in high gain modes. And for recording you don’t really need the loop circuit functions for anything - especially when using a reactive load and IR’s . You’ll probably be adding the post-gain effects like delays in DAW anyway (just remember that bypassing the loop circuit bypasses the Output and Solo level controls as well, so if you’re plugged into a real cab, it will be LOUD with typical channel master settings…).

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Glad to hear! Thanks! Exactly 👌.

[@howardgillingham4763]

[@leeforrester466]

Egue, you are a treat to watch, not only are you a monster player, you can write, record, mix, master with ease. I really enjoy these amp reviews a lot. I just discovered your channel a few months ago. You popped up one day when I was looking at mods for my 85 JCM 800 4103 combo, I learned to lift the extra capacitor on the mid-pot to make it sound like a regular 2203. Just wanted to say, thanks for being here!

I have a JP-2C, but your enthusiasm for this amp, especially channel two, made me want to try it out. I got one and absolutely fell in love with the crunch voicing. Unfortunately, the reverb wasn’t working so I had to send it back, but in its place I decided to just go for it and get a JCM 800 and I couldn’t be happier! Love your channel, cheers!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Cool man! Thanks!

[@luckycharm4623]

Euge nice demonstration! the Mark IV and Mark V amplifiers are just amazing. I have come to appreciate how flexible and useful that are as amplifiers. They take some more time to understand but they are very powerful gain and tone shifters and playing thru Greenbacks really gets those amps into Marshall territory. Remember the pre amp gain knob really acts like a tone control....set below 9'Oclock the sound is thinner, set between 9 and 1 the tone is less thin and has more meat to its bones, set above 1 or 2 the tone darkens and is thicker with more compression. Also the Midrange knob acts as a gain boost above 12 o'clock. Also the Bass knob (and the others) is before the preamp section so if you are in a hi gain mode typically lower the Bass as to avoid flub and muddiness. and as we all know shape that tone you got at the end with the (post pre amp section) parametric EQ.

[@fastnewbie]

Absolutely the BEST, I mean BEST presentation of this amp. I've had mine for a while and watched many, many videos on some ideas/direction for sounds, however, many of those videos give a good direction, but Euge, my Mark V has come alive! As always, great videos and thank you very much for the detail of your chain and settings of this beast. In addition, your excitement and honesty is very pleasing to see. Thanks again, keep the videos coming! Go Boogie Go!

Euge, I am editing my comment because I felt I wasn't really acknowledging your excitement about the Mark 5. I have always been a Mesa Boogie fan and I was an owner of the original Mark 2C+. I know you make the 5 sound absolutely awesome. And I know it's one of the best amps out there. I just like the sound of my Marshall better. I would like to hear your Boogie and JCM800 together as stereo. I bet that would sound way awesome.

[@jaewonjoen4180]

I've watched almost all of your videos, But I've never seen you so happy as when you play the Boogie. I'm your fan and got this amp today. My impression after playing the Boogie Mark V was that you are right! -From South Korea

[@Skoora]

With 34’s in it, I did a recording with the Edge setting on CH 2 that sounds easily as good and just like a ‘78 2203 I used to have. Also CH1 on a clean setting does an awesome hard rock sound if you max the gain, get the CH volume at about 2 O’Clock, set the treble fairly high, mids around 10-12 O’Clock and bass to just before it flubs. Also get the presence up a bit. Set the Overall Master volume to around 10-11 O’Clock and it’s just hard rock greatness. An Attenuator is a must to get everything out of this amp.

[@Affectronix]

Love this demo. Lots of settings for me to mess around with on my V90 combo!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Glad to hear! Thanks!

[@AnAmericanGuitarist]

I can add some important info here. The kind of sounds heard here need a traditional style cabinet if you're going to use a cab. In my experience playing this amp for an hour, you need a Mesa traditional cab with specs closer to a Marshall 1960 cab to get the mids to ring like they do here. I was able to get a lot of great sounds from one of these amps, but not at first because I was playing it through a regular deep back rectifier cabinet that is better for scooped mids style metal. . Once I switched to the traditional cab (that I think was also called a rectifier cab), the amp sounded great. In my experience THAT is what you need if you want to get the types of sounds that you hear in this video from an actual 4 x 12 speaker cab.

[@chaosmos1971]

Thank you Euge, I have a mk v it failed on me but I will get it fixed. It is really important to see things from others perspectives. I thought I needed a jvm 410 or an 800. So inspiring to see your take. Alex lifeson and chewy mongrain, willy Adler and petrucci played/play mk v. Thanks Euge...so inspiring!

[@Andosa90]

Not sure if anyone's mentioned this yet but try out hard bypassing the loop. It also bypasses the master volume for the whole amp so you'll have to set each volume to taste but in my opinion it sets this beast free. Really aggressive

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yeah I recorded the song in the beginning like that and I hard bypass amps’ loops always when recording 👌. It does indeed 💪.

[@Skoora]

Absolutely fantastic amps. Owned one (90 head) for about 13 years. Much prefer it to the VII because of the flexibility in the clean to medium high gain tones alone, on CH 1 and 2. Sounds really good with 34’s in it too.

Great video man. As other's said best Mark V video out there. It also doesn't hurt to have an 800/plexi kicking around for some A/B but I think its critical in understanding some of what the Mark V can do. Just bought one of these used 2 days ago for $1,400. It was built in 2012 and its an absolute time capsule, and 1/3 the price of new. Totally worth it.

I have the Mark IV and V. I actually dial the V to the best approximation of a Rectifier on Extreme mode with an overdrive in front. Then I use the IV when I want the Mark sound. I surprisingly didn’t like the 2C+ mode at all, and the IV mode doesn’t sound much like the actual IV to me, it’s much more modern sounding. The Crunch mode is the hidden gem on this amp, but it does everything pretty well

Being a Clash fan since '77, i looked into getting Mick Jones' sound on their 2nd & 3rd albums - he always used a LP & Mark I, diode rectifier with graphic EQ on a straight upwards diagonal and put it through Marshall 4 by 12s, to get what is pretty close to a MKII sound before Mark II was made (MKII removed the enormous lower fundamental extension of the Mark I). Gain 6 to 8 Treb~7 Mid5 Bass2 Pres ~7. Master vol about 5

Thanks!

I love this amp and I play mostly blues, and I use channel 3 all the time for the facemelting Hendrix songs. Most versatile and functional gigging amp I've ever used.

Channel 2 is super clear with the gain maxed out, sounds killer

And even clearer when it’s a hair above noon 😎.

Best review of Mark V I have seen. 🤘👋

Glad to hear! Thanks!

@@EugeValovirta230V Now you got that killer Sykes tone!

[@rodreyes8436]

I had a Mark V for many years. That crunch mode was a gem on that amp for sure.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Absolutely! 👌
