The year was 1989. I had worked my ass off working for the parks department cutting grass in our local parks to pay the bills for me and my new wife and to save up for my first tube amp to play in my band. That amp was a Mesa Boogie 50 Caliber+ through a Mesa 4x12 with their Black Shadow speakers, a couple pedals and it was a GLORIOUS tone. That put me on the path to never ending tone chasing. I didn’t have to chase much because I started off with a great tone. My tone was better than my playing! 😂

@dangtreeallaandra2014 Год назад

I have a 2X12 C90 Black shadow cabinet . I'm 57 and i will newer let it go until I die !! 😂

@cshortlife9179 Год назад

I think if you conceptualize the Mark Series style Eq being an Overdrive pedal and the 5 band Eq as being the amp tone stack, then makes them easier to dial in.

@RX120D Год назад

100%. The knobs are pre-EQ, the sliders are post-gain EQ like the B/M/T knobs on any other amp. This is so overlooked it blows my mind.

I should work with it more often until I master it, I suppose.

@@mindspace696 oh yeah, C50 are weirdly wired in the Eq section but they're vintage and really good when you find the sweet spot (a boost/OD helps!) There's not many amps capable of that tight attack and texture. This amp is an flawed pearl but a pearl nonetheless! 😁

@ibnzboy2009 Год назад

I have a Mark V and it literally has taken me years to figure out how to properly use it. The biggest thing I learned about "Mark ___" amps is that the treble and gain work together. The treble knob is really more of a saturation control than anything else, you shape your sound mostly with the graphic eq.

@dangtreeallaandra2014 Год назад

That's why you have the fabric pamphlet to set your ground , and it is a great beginning ! Try that and then move to the sound that you like !!

@robvoyles Месяц назад

Mike B from boogie said...more treble equals more gain.

@retrocny5625 Год назад

To me, this is about as iconic as it gets for thrash tones. Soon as I heard the tone in the intro, smiled from ear to ear. You know it when you hear it.

@Stretchwreckedem469 Год назад

I like the way the mids on that amp sounded bumped all the way up on that amp. It has a very modern and a very prominent sound that i would compare to maybe even a 5150's blue channel. What's even crazier to me is that this is an amp that was made in the 80's/90's and is still tight and focused enough to keep up with today's amps.

@John-mh9ty Год назад

The Mark series and then the interpretation of the same that became VHT's were pretty much ideal amps waiting for genres of music. So much richer harmonically. Like you can back down the gain much lower to make it percussive AF without being weak vs where you have to set it in a Marshall. Of you back off a marshal there's nothing left there tonality.

@CastingwithKirk 4 месяца назад

@therealcharliebrown 11 месяцев назад

I had been on the hunt for a reasonably priced Mesa Boogie, something older. I got lucky a few months ago when someone offloaded two (2) Mesa Boogie Dual Caliber DC5 Combo Amps at the local GC that they used to play -- in stereo -- when they were gigging. Everything was included - manual, footswitch, cable, dust cover. I played through both of them and bought what I thought was the one in the best condition. WHAT A MONSTER! I just love how it sounds when it reaches saturation, and the clean is absolutely dreamy with a hollow body or semi-hollow body if you ever break from metal or chugging and noodle around with some rockabilly. For someone like me (who is just noodling and playing along to their favorites in a spare bedroom), it is awesome to get that gnarling tone at low volumes and the be able to break up with just a simple tap on a footswitch or roll on the volume knob. The user manual even came with recommended settings for their famous "scooped" mids. And, as I understand it, John Sykes (Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Blue Murder, etc.) just plugged his Gibson LP into a Mesa Boogie, fiddled a little bit with the EQ and volume between songs, and recorded all the crushing riffs that are embedded in our memories today...

@luca4352 3 месяца назад

John Sykes didnt play in Deep Purple and played a Mesa Mark III Coliseum 300W Head together with an old Marshall 4 holer. But I guess the Caliber should be in the same ballpark as the Mark amps, thats why I'lll probably pick one up

@angusorvid8840 Год назад

I played the combo version for a decade, played a lot of clubs on the Sunset strip in the late 80s, early 90s with it. That amp absolutely rocked. It could also power my Marshall 4x12 cab just fine. But I just used it as a combo for gigs and it was more than adequate. I preferred it to the Mark III because it had a more organic, Marshall kind of tone and was also lighter. I didn't need three channels anyways. The Mark series give me a headache and I never liked the Rectos.

@whitebread940 Год назад

My thrash band back in the 90s used them. a lot of bands were amazed we didn’t need pedals and plugged straight in. Then, the dual rectifier was released.

Dude, I love your facial expression at 5.42 - 5.44! 🙂It looks like "OK, I´m slightly scared of what´s to come, but probably it will be good". And it is! Also have this one and agree with most you said. The one thing where one can notice this was meant as a "budget" Mesa is the power amp section. Mesas typically sound way louder and powerful than their rating, but this one does not. The later DC-5 I had years ago was significantly more in your guts & face at identical power amp rating. The Caliber 50 struggles against our very loud drummer and it does not develop as much low end thrust as other Mesas I have had. I prefer smaller cabs due to portability, so it may be more noticeable than with a 4x12 recto which makes everything sound huge.

@gil9903 Год назад

@lgv3051 Год назад

@washingtonirving2137 Год назад

The tone stack is NOT before the lead circuit in these amps, look up some schematics to see for yourself. The lead circuit is the very first two gain stages. With that being said there is still some clipping happening later in the circuit so it's still not like a Marshall for instance with the tone stack at the very end of the preamp. Compared to a Mark series amp this tonestack has a lot less influence on the feel/gain structure of the amp and while some settings translate between the amps quite well (as it still is the same Fender tonestack essentially), some don't, In my opinion at least. I also think these sound a lot more grainy than a Mark (and many other amps), brighter and with far less bottom but the graphic EQ is the same which gives it some of that familiar Mark character. The looks suggest that it's just a stripped down Mark amp but that is not quite true. It has its own thing going on.

I owned one of these and a MKIII blue stripe (purchased because I liked the 50cal so much). I believe its extremely close to a MKIII preamp. The power section is less beefy (smaller transformers) on the 50 cal. I think theres one less volume off of one of the gain stages compared to the MKIII (rhythm2), so the 50cal is a bit easier to dial in. But overall its like a diet MKIII.

@@John-mh9ty sadly, the vertical 2x12 Mark series cabs weigh about as much as my Peavey 4x12. But that’s one of the reasons they sound so good.

If Leeway riffs sound good on this then it's good period :)

Great video! Where do you have the Lead Master and Master knobs set? I find it gets much flubbier with the Master above 3.

Thanks Kyle for making me spend over 2 grand on the silver Jubilee 😂😂. Now I'm in the market for a 2x12 mesa cab that pair nicely with the head. Any suggestions??

Looking forward to the Obsidian video.

Hey Kyle, What Mesa Cab are you running this through? The Mesa Rectifier Traditional, or Standard 4x12?

@eternalskull Год назад

Greetings Kyle, I'm not 100% sure but have you, or have you considered doing demos of the old Ibanez solidstate heads? Like either of the Toneblaster series, or even the short lived Thermion Tube amp?

@Rforce78 Год назад

Another amp you demoed that makes me want to throw my crate Excalibur in the trash and invest in something that actually sounds good

@ChiAeNima Год назад

Just an idea here or suggestion. Wouldn't it be cooler if you write a new riff for each show. I mean, it's starting to get a little repetitive listening to the same riffs over and over again. And maybe you could do an in a mix demo sound with the original new riffs. Just my suggestion, no negativity here. Cheers and happy new year dude.

@sauerkrautoneverything7807 Год назад

Maybe it doesn't matter, but I'm randomly curious how you'd dial in an amp with a 1x12, 2x12, and a 4x12, all with the same type speaker, maybe same brand cabinet. I say this, cause I have a 2x12 Mesa. heh

First time I've heard a Life of Agony riff in a demo video (16:23). This rules.

Do you think this would nail John Sykes tones ala 1987 Whitesnake and Blue Murder? The prices on Mark III coliseum are nuts.

@saltpeter7429 Месяц назад

I think that was a Marshall combo on the Whitesnake 87 album. There are video's here on youtube about it. If I remember correctly, ( and there is a huge chance Im wrong) Zakk Wylde ended up using the same amp a bit on NO REST FOR THE WICKED. It was the same producer in the studio who advocated for the use of that particular amp.

@@saltpeter7429 All good. To be fair Sykes did own a couple of JCM800s that were modded by the late Jose Arredondo. He used them on the last Thin Lizzy album with Phil Lynott and I think he might’ve used them on the second Blue Murder album.

@andreazampieri5513 Год назад

Kyle, I was waiting for this demo from years in on yt! Thx man! I owned a Mesa Boogie DC5 for 5 years, then sell to a friend… great amp that too, the direct descendent from your 50caliber+. I never got a sound like your out of that amp. I think it had a different circuit, with treble, bass and middle controls after the gain and not pre gain like your amp. Will you make a demo of the DC50 in the future, just to compare it to this? It will be interesting! Me, like other guys out there, love 90s mesa boogie staff! Thx man!

@chipchiperson679 Год назад

The DC-5 and the Calibrer 50 are two completely different amps. The DC-5 has a the rectifier voicing and the caliber .50 is voiced after Mark. Had both, the caliber .50 is better having a sharper dark tone than the DC-5’s spongy low midrange tone. Either is still way better than a Marshall DSL, peavey 6505 the EVH 5150 or the mesa rectifier all of which try to sound like these two Mesa’s but fall short. Only reason most bands play the other amps is because of the availability and endorsement deals
