[@YsAbTones]

One amp to rule them all !

[@centaurus5676]

This guy wipes the floor with Ola Englund, better reviews and player....no talking gets straight down to business! Superb video!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

I do talk sometimes but definitely not often :)

[@centaurus5676]

@Malcolm Reynolds Just my opinion Malcolm. Too much yapping and chugging for me, this guy has more variety in his playing. Yes I like leon todd.

[@sporkcrx]

Always click for the amp demo, then love all the different guitars and riffs

[@g_giac]

As someone that’s been having a love-hate relationship with dialing in a Mark V:25 for over a year now, this really helped me get some useful tones out of that amp.

[@shakesquire84]

Boogie should use this video to promote how awesome this amp is. It can cover everything.

[@tannerboil6765]

Excellent job as always. This has to be the most complicated amp I have ever owned. Some days I love it, and then some days I wonder why I loved it a few days ago. It really takes time to understand and its safe to say the controls are not your conventional/normal controls as any other amp. For instance, the Gain and Treble controls work together, should have been labeled Gain1 and Gain2. Treble is controlled more by the Presents control and EQ.

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Totally agree! Making this demo has really helped me to understand this amp better though

[@rangerdoc1029]

You have to think of it like the Gain & EQ is a Built in Boost/OD. And the Drive + GEQ as the actual amp controls. Except they're active.

[@studiolargo8320]

Multiple guitars playing multiple riffs (not the same damn riff oner and over), a comprehensive series of amp settings, great recording quality and playing and NO TALKING, this is what all amp demoes should be about.

[@lantean7321]

By far the coolest demo of a Mark 5 I’ve seen. Thanks for doing this... I’m still learning my way around this thing!

[@nihiabstracto]

The heavy Tele rock sound at 8:03 it's just perfect ! Tele are the best sounding guitars !

[@jayarlafontaine]

The amp sounds incredible and also DAMN you have a huge style vocabulary in your playing. Awesome listening to this demo.

[@taztherocker1]

This is one of the best videos of the Mesa 35 V on KZbin!

[@PeanutButterPavement]

I love my Mark Five: 35. It's amazing how versatile it is!

[@victorreyes4304]

After seeing this, I am fully convinced that I need to get one of these amps!!! Awesome demo and face-melting riffs!!!

[@l5e2n9]

He is just showing off his guitar collection guys😜

[@kenkaneki575]

Definitely getting this amp now. Clean is impressive, gain is even more, and even has a headphone out for when my parents get annoyed. Great demo, earned a sub.

[@davehald9352]

Sounds great. Great videos. Keep em coming. Just got my Mark V35. Love it.

[@vicente9929]

I love the fact that you state the guitars you use and the pickups and the irs, because the tone is not only the amp and this makes us know more about the tone. The only smallish problem is the youtube compression, so maybe you could upload the wav files too in the description, but that´s a bit too much. Love your channel!

[@06szymonszymanski]

Best amp demos in the universe! What the f•ck is wrong with people? Why only 15k subscribers?

[@nicwilson89]

16.7k now...it takes time to build a base. Clearly not all that long when your content is this good if it really has gone from 15-16.7k in a matter of hours, but it's exponential anyway. Come back in a year and I'd eat your choice of hat if there weren't more 0's after that number :D

[@GearGasms]

I put him in my last weeks video of 10 YT channels to binge watch on my channel. I agree - he’s great! It takes forever to get a lot of subs in a very crowded field. Make sure you tell all of your guitar buddies about channels you like. That’s the best way to help get the word out

[@mylesedwin4328]

I dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost the login password. I would love any tricks you can give me!

[@paxtonkobe6720]

@Myles Edwin instablaster ;)

[@planetwells]

@@paxtonkobe6720 Hi I saw a post that possibly you can help to get my Instagram back please let me know if that is true thanks .

[@xtatyda]

Great demo! But I suggest to try Channel 2 modes with low gain settings. You can achieve very useful crunch sounds. I prefer, for example, Xterme mode with gain at 10:30 o'clock, treble 13:00, mid at noon, bass at noon, presence 14:00, EQ on with mid little bit lowered.

[@djkolcun]

That was as thorough a demo/playthrough as I’ve ever seen, or more importantly, heard. Thank you!

[@skeevybastid689]

Just upgraded from the boss katana 50 mk ll to a katana artist mkll so I can practice and experiment with all the different styles you can set it up with .One day... when I deem myself worthy that is! I'll buy the mesa boogie mark v:35 with a 2x12 mesa cab. I just love how versatile it is and how it sounds. This demo just proves why everyone should own this amazing amp!!!

[@NAZGVL_147]

Not only are the tones fantastic, your playing and songwriting is awesome!

[@austyrocker4231]

Whelp I have been watching all your demos on many, and I mean darn near all the amps you have on your channel and I am 100% sold on the Mark V. Been on the hunt for the perfect tone for my ears and this amp very well nails it

[@ChannelForty2]

I think the mark series is absolute perfection. It seems endless the types of tones you can get from these amps and every single one of those tones is above anything other amps are doing.

[@koonsickgreen6272]

the single pup clean tones are tight and dense. Not hollow chimey like fender amps. Which is good as its not trying to emulated something else. Love my mkV35s cleans. Distorted tones? No need to even mention it - Fantastic to my ears.

[@jasonsapp792]

Had a Mark V 90w head... recently sold it ...this MKV 35 just might be a great replacement....awesome review

[@philipcoaxum8792]

What brought the sell on for that amp?

[@danc3746]

Dude! You are killing me here with these tones. Awesome job.

[@joelflmartinho]

Best demo of this amp so far! You have a colossal amount of guitars and killer shops to demonstrate what this beast can do! Such quality work definitely deserves more subscribers! To help with that, I just subscribed! Keep that great work, good things will come to you. Cheers!

[@stereodamage]

Greeting from Russia! Your videos awesome, such a balanced sound always.

[@kanjosidr]

йес йес окей

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Greetings! Thank you!

[@theadambair]

Great demo. Fantastic playing. Amazing recording quality. I've been watching this all week... for the MUSIC part... these riffs are great and are great background while I'm working :D

[@Tiger1016.]

Rightfully spent more time on the Crunch voicing than anything else. That is the only thing that I am really missing from the couple of years that I owned the 90 watt Mark V. The rest of the tones in the Mark V amps, irrespective of the wattage, are fabulous; I just have the rest of the tones covered in my Axe Fx III. But I miss this damn Crunch voicing so much that I keep finding myself watching videos like this in hopes that I might eventually find a way to get the same tone out of my Axe III eventually. Stellar demo by the way! Easily one of the best, if not the best, I have seen so far!

[@RealZacharyLee]

Yo I loved this video. Im obsessed with this amp. Thanks for throwing more fuel on my GAS fire.

[@ahaua1]

Great demo!! This amp handles the heavy riffs very well. Nice skills my friend.

[@MisterTotality]

I just bought this amp today. This video, and videos like it, are super helpful. Now, I have even more settings to try out!

[@GearGasms]

Very nice! I have the 25 and did a First Look video but need to do an in depth on it. Nice playing as always brother!

[@michaelcernosek4779]

Thank you for this video, I just got a mark v (partially because of your demos) and I am constantly referencing it for settings. Great playing as well.

[@basscrossbreed]

great demo. no frills, plays plenty of styles, simple riffs not trying to show off.

[@dyonight]

extremely high quality demo, probably the best demo I've heard full stop! Awesome work pal! Subbed!

[@blueshawk60]

Great demo the best I’ve ever seen and heard .

[@Mega_trav]

Love your demos!

[@MaksymBubyriev]

Excellent Video! As always! I would also like isolated segment. Thanks!

[@Nymblz]

Damn, man, fantastic demos. So well done. Really interesting bits, excellent playing, perfect miking. And that Mark V is killer. This is how it's done.

[@PinchTune]

Absolutely fantastic! Love your demos and your playing. I just got my V:35 in the other day. Only scratching the surface.

[@oliv9632]

Awesome demo ! I came here as Mesa Boogie recommended this vid on their facebook !

[@shuster1921]

My Friend, you're the reason I bought this amp!! It has become my favorite amp of the amps I've owned. It has so many flavors, it amazing, and v30's are far this amps favorite speaker from what I've tried,,,, ymmv😊

[@tomguit89]

@ Passive Baritone Riffs - awesomely great riff!!

[@Ilikeloud]

You do such a good job with these. Everything is so clean and polished. Keep it up! Cheers

[@PointlessExistence.]

You have tons of beautiful toys and awesome talent. Thanks for sharing.

[@moonlight-reveals]

Great playing and great tones, as usual! I'd recommend trying out the 90W version. It's less compressed and has even more depth.

[@geraldkucharski9147]

outstanding play and control .ROCK ON!

[@DaveyBoyCrocky]

So nice to see a demo that isn't 2 minutes of uninspired clean then all chunk chunk chunk. Nice job.

[@jettsom]

This amp can do everything.

[@felipefarias7654]

Best amp demo I've seen!

[@Swampster70]

For the Mark 5:25 and 5:35 amps for lead tone, back the gain down and drive the power section. Instead of trying to compress the tone with the preamp (gain all the way up), let the tone breathe by dialing the preamp back to about 1 o'clock and crank the volume. With the 35 watt amp you may want to knock it down to 25 watt mode, with uses the two outer tubes rather than all four but getting the compression on the power stage pretty much also gives you a free noise gate. Drive the volume past 2 o'clock and there's a wonderful compression that makes even the deadest of guitars sing but the extra drive in this stage has a hard time dealing with superfluous noise like slight hand movements so you get the notes without the background guff when soloing. If you hit the strings harder in the next video I might even click the subscribe button! ;)

[@oliv9632]

That s a good advice, and it is completely true ! But man the master at 2 o'clock is almost impossible to sustain with a 4x12 ! because it is extremely loud, even on stage, the sound ingeeners always asks me to lower the volume... (so I have to set it at 8 or max 9 o'clock) I think that's the only way to play with these settings is to get an attenuator...

[@ahmadshani6682]

Love Mesa Boogie

[@azzazelo]

What a great amp man, well done

[@EmptyKingdoms]

Make that bay area thrash into a full song, it is amazing!

[@kbroomall]

Sick riffs brother

[@kbroomall]

The riff you played with the SE 277 inspired me to get an SE 277. Should be here Saturday! LOL!

[@SwainBjornstrandt]

Impressive collection and tones.

[@andreasbahl9816]

Great Demo - Awesome sound - Top & Thanks

[@Thirteen31Music]

Thanks for this I’m going to try out some of your settings 🤘

[@djritm3215]

Who the hell would down vote this video?! Do these tone deaf people not understand how much effort is put into making something like this? Anyway great vid as always, and I can say with 100 percent certainty that this is my favorite amp I will ever own.

[@MarkoPavicMusic]

My favorite amp! Great demo, thanks for sharing \m/

[@diniscorreia5754]

Such a great video Great job!

[@foxysilver549]

I used to play a Triaxis in the 90s. I loved that sound but had a lot of issues and eventually had to go to something more reliable. Went to a MkIV about ten years later and it was DOA. Went to Engl and other amps. Being able to switch something on and instantly getting great tone even with knobs at noon is awesome. I picked up a MkV 25 5 years ago or so trying to recapture that tone and spent way too many hours trying to figure out Mesa's unintuitive controls. I commend you on wrangling some good tones out of it.

[@HansAaraas]

Fantastic demo man. Good job

[@tman6495]

This Boogie can actually sound very close to the Mark 1 and 3...They had the real Mesa tone. (we had both and the Studio Preamp)

[@jcwear89]

Sounds monstrous !

[@ZillionBadillion]

I have to check out all these RED channel dial settings, everything so dialed down (treb, mid, bass).

[@The0ldboy]

Great job men,thanks for the video.

[@MRxr400]

i feel with this amp, i'd like two identical channel one's in an amp. really love the crunch tone, but would miss the clean or fat to switch between in songs. crunch with volume rolled off for cleans might work. then third channel for the mk series drives.

[@Boomheyyou]

Awesome I just ordered this amp awesome tones you got there

[@Degrinder]

Best Demo´s !! THX !

[@LevitatorMusic]

great....you made me buy that Rocker 15 when I was playing with the classic rock band. Now I got a gig as a lead player for a Metallica tribute so I come to check this out and you're playing the same guitar (kh602) I got for the gig...and now I have to get this amp too...

[@ashtonshelton8584]

So badass dude🤘🏻

[@progpogs]

Rewatching this during the mark7 release, and honestly wish they just got you to do the official demos instead of the dadrock extravaganza that is everything posted so far.

[@KySlowIsSmoothSmoothisFast]

Always liked triple rectifier but these mark series amps are just crunchy and tight

[@jt5326]

YES!

[@TheDeedeeFiles]

Awesome amp

[@RyanMaziarz]

One of the best demos of this amp I've ever seen! One question for you - I got my Mark V 25 and 1x12 standard recto V30 cab about 6 months ago and I need to push my GEQ low and high sliders way more than you do here to get a full tone that sounds like it has enough punch to it. Does upping the master increase those frequencies a lot? That's the only difference I can see, I'm not able to push it up to 3 or 4 like you do here because I'm in an apartment.

[@SonicDriveStudio]

I had the Recto 1x12 for a little while and I wasn't a fan to be honest. I did sound very small imho and a little bit too bright at lower levels. Could have just been me, my room or my setup though. I just prefer the sound of bigger cabs.

[@dfarr6518]

@Eagleeye Jones sorry I know this is an older thread, but what speakers do you have in your 2x12?

[@BillyBlaze7]

I had one of these and like a fool i sold it because i didnt think i could justify ever owning such an expensive amp. I finally just got another head, cab is on order...I searched for a very long time to find a one and done amp that could do it all, the Mark Five 35 head and 2x12 cab is it for me, only use a optical compressor pedal with mine

[@dougross2256]

That is really awesome amp. Thank you for your video 🤟🤟🤟🤟 I have the TC 50 good amp also but a mark 5..

[@remiestronks]

13:25 riff. Inspiratie vanuit Nevermore's - We Disintegrate? Goede video overigens! Keep it up :)

[@SonicDriveStudio]

[@silentmelodiesstudio9924]

17 dickheads giving thumbs down are missing their balls... this vid got everything, guitar, amp settings and even the used IRs, which is 90% of the sound and is missed in 98% of the amp demos on KZbin... and last but not least good sound on each sound sample! Good job done on this one!

[@vidarvartdal6857]

Now I just feel bad for not having explored mine enough. I've just found the sound were the amp does Skynyrd great with my Duesenberg 49er and then left it there.

[@Locoandchooch]

Sounded like “The Ocean” for a minute

[@adriandespot]

Awesome job! And man, that fckin tele.. uuuhaaa!!

[@stephencline685]

Moral of this story: I need to get the OwnHammer IRs!

[@jesperholmolsen2330]

Great demo! Do you use the amp live? I can't help but think it's missing a third channel to give you options for 1) clean 2) rhythm 3) lead or how do you solve this? Do you keep the Green Channel for clean and just boost / EQ / use a pedal on the red channel to change the rhythm sound to a lead?

[@SonicDriveStudio]

I haven't used it live but I imagine there would be ways to solve your potential 'issues'. You could use the boost master volumes for solo's of course. 4 cable method with a good multi-effects unit would be great.
