The All-New MESA/Boogie Mark VII

[@noahphillips7404]

Anyone looking for mark V or triple crown, prolly gonna be a buyers market on those, lol. Glory to Christ Jesus ✝️✝️🎸🎸😎❤️

[@jcradical2520]

there isn't much to tempt a mark v owner. The vii strips out a lot of sound affecting functionality. It's a downgrade aside from built in IR and reactive load. I'm betting the mark v prices skyrocket.

[@Returnality]

@@jcradical2520 Yeah, the vii has a much mushier low end and loses a lot of the top end sparkle that the v had.

[@jcradical2520]

@@Returnality im surprised to hear that. In the demos I’ve seen, the mark VII sounds tight to a fault. Almost like it’s a solid state amp. I’m interested in seeing demos from regular consumers.

[@Returnality]

@@jcradical2520 I just listened on a better set of speakers (I was dumb ad using my laptop) and yeah, you're probably right. I stand by my observation on the top end though, I don't like the way it's shaped in the mark vii compared to the mark v

[@jorgiewtf]

I just got a brand new Mark V out of the box last night and I am in absolute heaven with it!

[@phishphan5732]

Sounds killer…love those clean tones

[@davereynolds679]

Long live the Mesa Mark IV 😂😂

[@rockon856]

I think you meant VI lol

[@daviribeiro8997]

And Mark III is always forgotten :'(

[@Skoora]

No global master?

[@joejohnson8966]

Literally majority of the character comes from the IR or the mic. The clean sounds sounded so different they may have both been different amps. Love the sound of the 7

[@xchump]

Great clean tones in this demo! Just wished they had kept the Tweed mode.

[@maxmenius9839]

What fantastic sound!

[@DoobTube71]

I have a Mark V 90 and various cabs. Did I miss the Mark VI?

[@dervpool]

The JP-IIC was labeled mk VI internally if i recall correctly

[@psycofdo]

Hmmm not sure if this is an amp people would need. A revised mark V, better irs, midi .... apart from the platform upgrades, soundwise i have my doubts. It sounds killer, but nothing sounds really new. If this would've stereo, that would be a whole different deal for me.

[@daviddodsworth1842]

Dudes a little heavy on the guitar faces

[@Michael-bm8hi]

Glad to hear there is not only metal sounds demoed. However how does it feel playing in your home studio, practicing at lower volumes and having the fan turning in this amp? The fan is what keeps me away from giving it a try.

[@bodd66]

ooh I was dead worried for a sec that my Mark V is past it....but there doesn't seem to be anything on the MKVii that I wish my one had. In fact, there are things missing on this new amp that I couldn't do without! If the Mark V is no longer produced, I think they will go up in value as I can't be the only Boogie owner who's not feeling' this?

[@peterglavanov]

I also can’t imagine to use my mkV without the tube rectifier on ch1 and 2. Missing master volume and solo volume…yes, IRs and cabclone are fine but it can be added later in the chain if needed.

[@peterglavanov]

Aaah yeah…very important for me when recording in studio…hardwire bypass switch missing as well.

[@HELLNO10]

I have the MKV 90w combo, despite the Cabclone, what is the big difference? to be called a VII

[@chrisx742]

Its great to have another choice in a midi controlled Mark. I would rather have this than a JP2C.

[@HELLNO10]

@@chrisx742 a RJM gizmo do the job

[@jimmysavage258]

The bigger transformer in the 7

[@philipcoaxum8792]

Better sounds than the Mark V hands down. And yes i owned one with AT7 mod. The V was good don't get me wrong. But that bigger tranny, cabclone di function, Mark VII mode alone makes it much better. The clean itself is just as good even with the missing tube rectifier. Which I was very surprised at. The sounds are more linear.

[@aaronshortmusic]

What is the story behind the intro song?

[@NStuffMusic]

It's a bad Avril Lavigne joke....

[@aaronshortmusic]

@@NStuffMusic Are you saying that the amp is hard to dial in? I’m thinking of getting one!

[@NStuffMusic]

@@aaronshortmusic Not at all. It is a versatile amp, so it does take a little bit of tinkering, but that's like every other amp as well... Infinite possibilities!

[@m.thephilosopher]

A Mark V Version 2 ???

[@alexdenton6586]

I still can't get used to the idea that it's One Punch Man testing guitars and amps on this channel

[@Mets_xx_Fan_01]

can anyone help and how to figure out certain fuzz sounds with the rams head big muff?

[@OfficialSNMvids]

First! Seriously I was not expecting this?! Might need to check one out in town meow!!! \m/

[@yotatech]

Great vid, like all your vids. Question, I started watching your vids back around 2012 when I got back into playing again. What happened to the other bald headed guy who was older? Have not seen him for quite awhile.

[@NStuffMusic]

Thanks for being a loyal watcher! Mark actually still plays all over the Pittsburgh area, but he parted ways with N Stuff back in 2017..

[@yotatech]

@@NStuffMusic thank you very much for the info. There was another guy who did demos too that was more into rock than Mark, I forget his name. Mark was more of a clean tone player. I like this new guy, he gets some good rock and crunch tones going.

[@bruhskifrfrnocapbussinmate]

It's a Mark V thats missing the edge, Mark I, and tweed voices, partially shared voices on channels 1 and 2, only has one rectification option (silicon) rather than silicon or tube, and has less interesting power scaling options with no pure class A/B mode. What's new is the addition of a new Mark VII mode, a Mark IIB mode, and a 8-position cabclone IR. Honestly, it sounds like an inferior Mark V to me that also costs more...

[@Spidouz]

Also missing Extreme circuit and variance (Tweed power mode)… that’s a lot of missing, probably better to stick to Mark V that stays the best studio amp…. While mark VII just seems more oriented for live.

[@miikkamakela329]

Was it Peavey which owns rights to Mark VI title? Thus, Mesa goes straighth from Mark V into Mark VII.

[@phishphan5732]

Mesa’s own press said the revisions to make Mark VI took so long, they just went to Mark VII

[@miikkamakela329]

@@phishphan5732 Yes, that’s Gibson’s marketing department’s reasoning for V > VII. But Peavey’s classic Mark VI bass amp is the most obvious copyright stumbling block for skipping VI.

[@Tiger1016.]

​@@miikkamakela329 haha sound like a great point. You could be onto something and fairly pointing out something that the BS radar does pick up.

[@jasonstone1046]

Looks like they just rebadged and whacked a single EQ on the JP2C.

[@FaberGT86]

It seems Mesa Boogie has a bit of a problem with Roman numerals 😂

[@JeremyVarao]

Cab clone bits sound dreadful compared to the mic’d portions.

[@irmasil3]

It seems like 3/4 of the amp is basically nothing that you can't get out of a fender twin reverb, then the rest 1/4 is something that you could BETTER get out of a JP2C....This up has Gibson all over it. Too much "authentic" playing, but misses the bullseye. I would rather pay for a JP2C which is the best metal amp in the world probably and has at least 2 similar cleans which is more than you will ever need really.

[@jcradical2520]

Thank you for perfectly describing what I was thinking. The mark V 90 was a jack of all trades and master of none, but it was really great at several things. This new one seems like it’s not great at anything. It’s great that it has variety, but it somehow sounds more flat than a modeler.

[@AnimeAsLeaders998]

april fools? (1 month early)

[@Breathemusic4202]

Wait a sec??!?!! I didn't know Joe Satriani had an evil twin?!?!?!

[@enrico1856]

No thanks, my V 90w Head has everything I need and more than this thing lol

[@lordofthepranceiii801]

Great. Way to play this like someone on Cialis. What’s with all the fucking dad rock demos on this fucking amp? It’s like you’re all afraid you’re going to accidentally make this amp do ANYTHING other than live art festival ambience.

[@sloppy95]

What do you want him to play in the demo? Djent? You don’t need a markvII for that just a cheap peavey and a metal master pedal.

[@NStuffMusic]

@@sloppy95 HaHA! Keep an eye out for our upcoming Mark VII Djent Demo... 1 note. 1 string.
