Marty Music I have 2 amps, a fender champion 40 watt and a fender deluxe 90 watt. They are both pretty good I do find with the 90 watt fender it's harder to get the tone, as even small adjustments make such a big difference compared with the 40 watt. but it sounds so awesome when you get the tone you want.
I was actually looking for a solid Mesa amp demo. This is solid, and I trust the player. Funny though, how simply leaning forward and blocking a mic from picking up the amp totally changes the tone! All the tone chasing in the world but all it takes is a mic moved an inch and it all gets warped.
100% agree. I've had rect-o-verb 50 combo for going on 20 years. Absolutely rock solid amplifier. A mark v combo just showed up used locally for seriously cheap. Hopefully, it'll be in my possession by the end of the weekend 😁
I have a Mess Rectiverb 25 combo that I think is just as good. I originally had the Rectoverb 25 head & 2 mini Mesa Rec cabs but I had to pay property taxes so I sold it all. When it was time to 'who's up agaun, I tried this amp & a few others. I bought the Rectoverb 25 combo & could be hap pier. (:
Man Your videos are so good ! Respect what you do !! Keep it up ! You help learn to play guitar like 3 or 4 years ago and I can't thank you enough for your videos !
I've had a rect-o-verb 50 for 20 years and added a roadster to the mix a few years ago. The knob spinning is definitely real. And the when you finally get it just right....mmmmmmm
Nice demo. I bought a new .50 Cal around 1992. Versitile, loud and heavy. Sold it 20 years later when I went digital. Not quite as authentic as the real thing, but amazingly close without the weight or maintenance.
I have never seen someone who has the graphic EQ, not use the graphic EQ. It adds a whole new dimension to the Mark series. I have a mkiii and iv and I don't think I could use the lead channel without the G.EQ. Is this how you normally gig with the V? Obviously there is no right or wrong way. Just wondering. You have a lot more gain on tap with that G.EQ too.
Man, my neighbors will LOVE that one!!! I already have 120 Watts transistor yamaha, 100 Watts transistor from BOSS and this one... man oh man - they will worship me :D they might even set some welcome fire! :D :D
Thanks for the settings explanation i have a mark v combo it is a great amp but after about a month of use the amp blew a fuse in the middle of a gig got it fixed 2 months later the same thing happen .....have to say mesa has outstanding customer service there was no problem getting them on the phone the amp has 5 years warranty its only been a year so far lol...but its a kick ass amp for sure
You're the best guitar salesman on You Tube! Thanks for the Explanation... Just ordered the Mesa Boogie Mark V 35 Combo.... (not as many features, but.....)
No entiendo todo, chico. Pero me gusta como le haces. Ya he visto muchos videos tuyos...y continuo mirando...Siempre muy instructivos y agradables. Thank you very much !!!
Great amp. I have Mark Five head and 2x12 vertical metal grill cab with EVM12L and C90 speakers. Crazy amount of bass in Mark I mode when bass knob is that high!
Could you please do a lesson on the solo in Chris Stapleton's new song "I Was Wrong". I cannot find a lesson anywhere and I've been looking for a couple months. Thank you!
Excellent walk thru Marty! Been curious about this amp. I still prefer the crunch of the Mesa Boogie Double and Triple Rectifier however for modern metal stuff.
Undoubtedly the greatest amp ever made (except for maybe the JP-2C)....Until it breaks. One of the hardest amps to dial in too; but once you do, it's simply magic. Helps to understand that the EQ controls are pre-gain unlike all other amps, so they greatly effect the character of the gain. Drop the bass for high gain to tighten the distortion up. If you try to use the BMT tone knobs like you would on another amp, you'll be frustrated. Too much bass & you'll bet blocking distortion. Marty kind of did it here. the way he set the lead channel it was completely farting out. The Sliders are active & post gain and shape the tone. You can boost the harmonics to get the bass back without sacrificing the tightness & getting flubby. They're ridiculously sensitive. Used properly, there's no other amp that can chug like a Mark. These can cover the tone of every other amp from a Fender DRRI to classic Marshall to a Mesa Dual Rectifier.
Spot on brother. My amp guy HATES working on boogies. And he's no slouch. Dude does work for George Lynch. But he still takes my money and when I pick them up, they sound better then the day I bought em.
12:32 SRV's Cold Shot kinda jammin' over there. Love the sound of Mesas. Mostly the Mark V. But lets not forget that the one playing is the most important element of all that. Your playing is amazing. Keep it up.
@@danim5881 Back when I was lucky to have a Road King, my tube screamer helped fix the loose low end. I though, how sad, this $3300 amp still needs a tube screamer.
It’s just way more amp than I have the patience for! Actually I’ve got the TA15 and I’m drooling for the California Tweed. Doesn’t matter what I get…I’ll eventually want something else. I’m pathetic!
And then regret it because literally nothing compares tone wise. People that struggle with dialing in a good tone with mesas do so because they have a shitty ear.
I wanted this or a Mark 4. But got a S O B instead. Much easier to play with. 7 knobs no confusion. All them knobs ,all them controls. Don't get me wrong. These are awesome. Just always need to learn each control over again. Cause when you move 1 it changes what the 1 behind it does. Especially in the E Q part. In a way mine does the same thing. There's just only so few changes I can make finding my fav sounds.
Would love to here this amp paired with some good humbuckers! The strat sounds great, though. You can really here that thing shine on the clean chanel.
This is really helpful. I just unboxed a bad lander and it’s my first tube amp ever. I am not well versed on this stuff and considering I sold 6 of my children into slavery to purchase this thing (all 6 were girls but still it was a high price to pay as I am just a hobby guitarist of 3 months now)… I would like to get many years of heavy crunch from it.
Ok Marty because you asked.... Id love to see my vids that dmonstrate the WHY certain amp and guitar combos or picup combos result in a certain sound. Such as a fener strat played through a __ and a __ played through a __ and why that HELPS create a certain well known artists sound. Id find that interesting and helpful
Marty, good basic clean sound! Should I get this or the ML Deville? What are the pluses and minus of each? We play a lot of R&B, Pop, rock and soul? Your thoughts Marty!
check out a guy named jamie humphries. he does a killer tc 50 demo. the kind of playin i was wanting to see. all jammin with no b.s. tc 50 is killer btw
