John Petrucci Mesa Mark Five: 25 'Tone Lounge' Proto Playthrough

More details and settings: www.mesaboogie.com/amplitudes/...
Mark Five: 25 Info Page: www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Inf...
John Petrucci visited the Mesa Factory in April 2014 before his San Francisco show to hang out. It was also a great day to have John play through an early prototype of the Mark Five 25 for the first time.
We took the fly-on-the-wall approach to capture the experience and got some epic playing from John, some great tones and a bunch of good times with Mesa Founder, Randall Smith, Tone Boy Doug West, and the rest of the Mesa team.
John played through all the various modes and many different settings through a Mini Rectifier 1x12, a Rectifier 1x12 and at the end, a 4x12 Rectifier Standard Slant with Celestion Vintage 30s. He also played with a few different delays (T.C. Electronics G-Major and Jim Dunlop Carbon Copy) in the loop for singing solo tones.
Recorded with the Mark Five: 25, various cabinets (listed above) and a Shure SM57 and a Sennheiser 421.

"Can I use this tonight?" the amp maker must be proud.

[@JAFOpty]

this is probably the best demo/showcase of an amp of any brand I have seen.... unrehearsed, dynamic and honest....

[@mesaboogie]

Thanks!JAFOpty - Glad you saw it like that. This is how it went down and John is the best! :D

[@JAFOpty]

***** well, JP is not going to play djent or polka, because that is not what he plays. He is just looking for his tone. Ola is great too, he has tons of boogie stuff...

[@JAFOpty]

***** awesome, regards.

[@JELIFISH19]

***** I don't think Ola's demos are better at all. When most guitarists try out an amp, they look for tones that compliment their playing. And when you're showcasing a product for potential buyers, you want it to sound the best you can make it sound. No player can make every amp sound good. The worse is when an demo players says "x amp has a great y tone" and then attempts to show it by playing poorly in that style. It just doesn't sound good and it doesn't benefit anyone. Ola's a great metal player so his demos are practically all metal. Some of the amps he tries can do so much more than metal but he doesn't venture there because he knows his audience and what they're looking for in an amp. Every good demo player knows this. Turning every knob and switch doesn't make an amp sound good. Who cares what an amp sounds like with the bass turned all the way up or with the boost turned on. Hearing 3 great tones from an amp is better than hearing 10 good tones or 100 mediocre tones. Great tones sells gear the most because that's what people are really looking for. Petrucci playing tones similar to what he uses on stage and in the studio is displaying a lot. He gets great tone there and he's getting it here on a much smaller, less expensive amp. A Mark V costs $2250 and he's showing he can get similar tones from a $1300 amp. He seems really impressed and it appears that he's having a great time playing this amp. I wasn't interested in a Mark Five 25 until this video.

[@mesaboogie]

All GREAT points, JELIFISH19 - thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts... and thanks for the kind words! All the best.

John is like a kid in a candy store. You just can't get enough of hearing him playing guitar.

[@LordAethelstanVODs]

I love that John is still one of the most down to earth and friendly guitar players out there, despite his enormous success. :)

[@mesaboogie]

It's true +Tom Moulton! Thanks for watching!

[@gainonten4031]

indeed he is successful, and well known and we all admire him, but he really is not well known besides guitar nerds really. I think that makes him humble.

[@crusheverything4449]

I met John on the Images and Words tour in 1992. He's still the same down-to-earth, personable guy today. With all of his abilities, accolades and achievements, he could've had his ego grow to unbearable proportions, but he remains Johnny Cool and one of the most incredible guitarists to ever pick up the instrument. Freakin' love the guy!!

[@mesaboogie]

Agree, Crush Everything - Great guy and one of the best around. We love John too! :D

[@Gravy_Master]

Or poor.

[@jared_s2]

it is fortunate that they have such a great player to demonstrate the tones, because he knows EXACTLY how to use EACH tone AND he is a virtuoso! Everything in the tones they demo sounds GREAT. And I have no doubt Petrucci adds to it.

[@mesaboogie]

Thanks,Jared Szczesny - Appreciate the kind words and we agree! :D

[@mohitrahaman]

no u

[@vkuolema79]

Having designed my own tube amps and hearing how polished the crunch/lead tones are in that tiny amp made me realize how much dedication and passion is behind it. Anyone can put pieces together and make an amp "sound" like those companies that clone designs but not many can just take it to the next level. Its just like cooking, everyone might know how to cook but only a few can make it taste awesome.

[@mesaboogie]

Thanks for the VERY kind words, Alvaro Salinas- Very much appreciated by us and we remain committed to making the best amp's we possibly can and taking care of our customers like we, ourselves, would like to be cared for when purchasing musical instruments. Thanks for taking the time to write such an awesome comment! :DAlvaro Salinas

[@MattiaPanciroli]

I'm really into Mark IIC+/IV tones, but the the channel 1 crunch playthrough is the part of the video that really blows me away

[@mesaboogie]

Crunch is definitely gold! Thanks for the kind words, Mattia!

[@themaggot8]

IMHO, this video is even better than the actual demo video. It makes think about selling my Mark IV combo and getting this lunch box, because you know, combos are a pain in the ass when you travel.

[@neilprakasam3398]

Juan José Fonseca Godoy I'm thinking about selling my MK IV Combo for this too.

[@themaggot8]

***** the only bad thing about the Mk IV combo is the size and the weight of it

[@neilprakasam3398]

Juan José Fonseca Godoy True, that would be the reason I want to replace it. Although, I think I'd just prefer switching to a MKIV head for the same price as the V 25. I would be running through a torpedo live so noise level doesn't really matter to me.

[@neilprakasam3398]

***** Nice! That's going to be a more portable rig!

[@themaggot8]

Adam Devo The mark 5:25 is not even close to the full size. Funny enough, the 5:25 sounds way better

I love how Randall and Doug looks super excited demoing this amp, you can tell that they're proud of this product, i just got mine on friday with the recto 1x12 slanted cab and been rocking the hell out of it, i spend a couple of hours messing with the knobs and was so pleased with the tones i could dial... until i hit that EQ and was completely blown away!, seriously i couldn't be more happy with this amp, the IIC+ mode alone is worth the money, this is my first Mesa but i'm now a believer, you got a costumer for life.

[@mesaboogie]

Hi Pana - WOW - thank you so much for the kind words and so glad you're finding so much success with this mini rig. Hopefully you'll be dragging new tones out of the modes and channels for years to come - that's what we hope to design in everything we make! And thanks for noticing the enthusiasm with Doug & Randy. This video represents a great day with John and discovering the Mark Five: 25 as well as getting some final confirmation on the tone right from the man himself, weeks before they started shipping. Thanks again and rock on!

[@mesaboogie]

Ryan Doubblestein - Yes! That whole section is John playing through a Recto 4x12 Standard Slant. Thanks for watching! :D

[@eagleosen]

MESA/Boogie what about 3:50?

[@lucwilson1]

Mike Farrah - they switch to the 4x12 at around 12:33. Pretty sure up to that point it was all through the 1x12 (slant mini @ 3:52 like you point out), then a different 1x12 at 7:18 ??

[@AitorMorant]

@@MrLennonson I still have the same amp,.. .it worth every penny ;)

[@Swampster70]

I also have the same amp. Do you find that when you play harder or with a bit spirit the amp responds and sounds better? I know they're called amplifiers but I get the feeling that this little beast amplifies what (and how) you play rather in a unique way than just giving you 'that sound' like most amps do. It's like magic in a lunchbox.

[@AitorMorant]

@@Swampster70 yes! Its fast and full responsive to everything you do. Nowadays, the mor straigth(almost no efects, delay, boost and wah) to the amp, the better 🙌

[@liampellerin9696]

Great demo! Those guy at Mesa really know how to pack vast amounts of tone into small packages.

It sounds TREMENDOUS. I've ever loved the Mark sound, and in the near future I would have the chance to buy one. Now I'm really happy with my 1986 Mesa QUAD, no poweramp, unfortunately, but I connect it to the return of my Rockerverb 50 with a pedal that works like a master volume. great tone, massive, thick, big, clear as I want. Every time Mesa makes me happy to have tried their amps and still use..real love :-)

[@utooberblooper]

i was a Marshall devotee for years until i tried a mesa myself and explored it thoroughly and i can safely say now they sing like angels and have unduplicatable tones,meaning "no other amp does what a mesa does" and it does it very,very well.

[@mesaboogie]

Many thanks, trillriff-axegrinder - Very much appreciate the kind words!

[@Swampster70]

I'm an English guy that moved to California but my love for Marshall didn't die. What I got from the EL84's in Mark II+ mode, when I'm in a practice room otherwise the neighbors would definitely call the cops, is when the master volume goes past 1 o'clock you get that Michael Schenker on "One Night at Budokan" lead tone. The saturation is just so nice and full. You can replicate it at lower volume levels in Mark IV mode but getting the power tubes working is always a treat. The one and only thing I don't like about this amp is simple. It is way, way louder than a 25 watt amp should ever be. Great if you're gigging in small places, if you buy it to crank it at home you're kinda screwed. LOL. But it does sound great without the power stage being driven! It packs as much punch as my old Marshall Super Lead 50w head and those ain't exactly quiet for their 50 watt rating. In fact, the Mark V 25 did the Super Lead thing so well that I sold my Marshall. Mini EL's for the win!

[@snotskieter1]

I know right! Selling my Marshall JCM2000 TSL100 and Orange Dark terror for one of these and a rectifier 2x13 cab. I've tried it with other cabs but nothing compares to the Mesa cab

[@chrisa586]

I own this amp and can't say enough good things about it. When I first got it, it sounds ehh not so good. I learned how use it(Mesa learning curve), and I still wasn't happy. Contacted Mesa and resolved the issue in 30 minutes..had a preamp tube that wasn't seated well from shipping. Now it blows me away. It really does sound this awesome..but you won't because you're not John Petrucci.

[@chrisa586]

Power tube*. The preamp tubes have a spring loaded casing on them. They aren't going anywhere.

[@mesaboogie]

Glad to hear we got it sorted, +Chris A :) Thanks for the kind words and let us know if anything else comes up!

[@PandaSharpener]

Is it good for bedroom volumes?

[@Swampster70]

@@PandaSharpener You can get some nice meaty tones at very reasonable volumes but don't let the size of the amp or the mere 25 watt rating fool you. This feisty little bastard feels as loud as an old Marshall 50 watt Super Lead when you get the master past 2 oclock. To get the best of it you do need to get the master up past 11oclock (IMHO) but at lower volumes it's still fantastic. I hear the 35W version is a little more versatile and in 25W mode has a bit more spank to it due to the bigger transformer. It also has the 'solo' (alternate master volume) feature and bigger switch/pedal. If you're thinking of gigging the 25W will keep up with a hard hitting drummer but 35W will give you a bit more headroom to spare.
