The mini Mark is finally here… The Mark Five: 25!
The MARK FIVE: 25, like the MARK FIVE it is born from, is really a collection of iconic amplifiers. There are far too many circuits and sounds to think of it as merely an amp... it’s a living history of MESA/Boogie!
In this latest 25 watt incarnation, the sounds and attributes that make MARK Series amps so popular on stage and in the studio are not only shrunk to their smallest possible physical size, but are also further refined and improved. The gorgeous sparkling Cleans and soaring high gain Lead sounds have made the jump successfully across output tube platforms and a new and exciting timbre of the MARK Series voice is created here in the MARK FIVE: 25™’s EL84 Duet. Brighter, tighter, more shredding in the top end, a bit more forgiving in feel and exceedingly more clip-able, the FIVE: 25 is right on time. Whether introducing the MARK heritage to a new generation of low wattage devotees, or fulfilling the ultra-portable Tone Dreams of steadfast MARK Series fans, the MARK FIVE: 25 has got what it takes to inspire and fuel your passion in the most manageable package ever!
The quick specs of the Mark V 25 are 2 channels, 6 modes - 3 per channel via 6 12AX7 preamp tubes, a 5 band Graphic EQ, 3 spring tube reverb and Multi-Watt Power selectability PER Channel, between 25 watts Class A/B Dyna-Watt and 10 watts Class A/B Triode… And the CabClone direct XLR and headphone outputs with Open and Closed back cabinet voicings.
Playing Examples
1:58 - Clean - Tight Funk & R & B
2:10 - Clean - Clipped Clean Blues
3:10 - Fat Clean - Overdriven Blues
4:40 - Crunch - Vintage Les Paul Crunch
5:16 - Crunch - Classic Rock Crunch
6:15 - MK IIC+ - C+ Solo Gain
7:18 - MK IV - Alternative Modern Rock
7:39 - MK IV - Classic Metal Punch
8:35 - XTREME - Modern Metal/Progressive Rock
12:00 Rear Panel Features
Recorded with a Shure SM57, Shure KSM313 and the on-board CabClone direct via XLR into MESA 1x12 Thiele speakers with Celestion C90s, 1x12 Mini-Rectifier and 2x12 Rectifier Vertical cabs with Celestion Vintage 30's. Mixed with varying levels of the mics and CabClone to taste for each clip and mastered for optimized output.

Thanks for the kind words, +Robin Jahnsson! RU-vid is a great place to help customers and answer questions. :D. Regarding the CabClone in the Mark Five: 25, it ABSOLUTELY allow you to record without a speaker connected when you have the SPKR OFF switch selected. This engages the internal load resistor that provides for silent direct recording. Hope this helps and thanks for your interest!

@robinjahnsson5684 9 лет назад

MESA/Boogie Thanks for answering my question Now another question about the footswitching. Is it possible to change channels from an amp control jack (tc gmajor 2/boss gt 100) instead of the one that comes with the amp or even with midi. That would be so useful to me. Im trying to find the amp used so thats why im asking. And is the headphone jack part of the cab clone, so can you only use the headphone jack without connecting a cab. Thanks again.

@mesaboogie 9 лет назад

Robin Jahnsson - Regarding footswitching, YES! You would connect your control jack to the amps FTSW input and when you sent switch messages from your floor FX or other devices, the channels would change as you programmed them to on your pedals. The Mark Five 25 is not MIDI capable but you can buy devices that interface the amp's footswitching and turn the signal into MIDI if the rest of your rig is controlled by MIDI. Google RJM Music for some interface ideas if you want to go MIDI. Regarding the CabClone headphone jack, it works with the SPKR ON or OFF, but the headphone and the DI Output cannot be used at the same time (you can only use the headphones OR the DI - but not both at the same time. Hope this helps and thanks again for your interest!

@robinjahnsson5684 9 лет назад

Thanks MESA/Boogie, this helps me alot. Yes i have found a couple of those (trs/midi or mono/midi) boxes that i could use and they seem to do what i would need them for. But, is the footswitch cable trs or mono (i guess it's trs/stereo because both channel & eq can be switched). About the CabClone, i would probably never even use both methods at the same time. Now if i can find this amp used i would buy it immediately :) Thank you for helping me with this.

@mesaboogie 9 лет назад

Robin Jahnsson - Nice! The ftsw cable is TRS. Top controls the channel switching and sleeve controls the EQ on/off. You can find you nearest dealer/distributor here: www.mesaboogie.com/US/Dealers/dealers___support.htm

@johnnysix7162 9 лет назад

I just got my 525. After owning the Mark IV. I was looking for an amp that had more versatility for the bedroom but could still give me the Mark tight high gain sound I enjoy. The 525 fit the bill and also has a nice clean with options for more vintage style of tones in the crunch setting on channel 1. The Mark IV had tons of tones available, but was a lot more difficult to dial in. I'm a hobbyist, so the Mark 5 is great, it's a lot more simple and straight forward when compared to the IV. I made a huge mistake and got rid of the IV to a buddy of mine and tried a good grip of different amps before getting the 525. And nothing inspired me, or gave me the enjoyment that Mesa has. The IV was the first Mesa I personally owned and gave me a smile even a naked picture of Oprah couldn't get off my face. I owned a Rectifier afterwards, tried the Trans Alantic, Dyna Watt and Stilletto. They're all great amps. I can tell you Boogie has an amp for any style you want!.

Once I added the Jens Bogren IR's to my DAW, I was really sold. I appreciate the Clone Cab effort but it still ain't there compared to the Jens Bogren cabs.

@spalmer718 9 лет назад

I haven't used an amp in years. I run through an amp emulator and rely on pedals for various tones. My entire band runs totally direct and we have zero stage volume. We have a fantastic sound that's fully controllable. As such I haven't had any need or desire for an amp for quite some. This amp, however, given it's size, portability, functionality, direct options, and tone is the first amp in a long time to give me a bit of G.A.S. I've never really been a "Mesa guy" per se but this thing is a beast that suits all of my gigging and recording needs at a reasonable price. Well done Mesa. You may have just won a new convert. Now I just have to convince my wife. :)

@catchofthedave8681 Год назад

Those clean channels. Like I don’t like metal or high gain stuff or chugging….when i get real squirrely i might play a few van halen style licks. But i never saw one of these amps and always wrote mesa off as overpriced and high gain. Until i played a used mark v 35w at a music store. I couldnt believe the amazing sounds coming from the amp. With no eq and a humbucker pickup on the crunch channel it sounded like the beautiful sound from a plexi. But the most impressive was the clean and fat channels. With a strat on the fat channel playing with the post eq boosting the mids…..id swear i was playing a steel string singer amplified nation…..or a dumble (though ive never played a real dumble but ive played a few good clones. And then you could run up the gain to just get it thicker and chewier and fatter. Then the regular clean channel just sounded like fantastic fender clean or a v40 duchess clean. On the first higher gain channel i was very pleased that it was like a pushed marshall into jcm territory. The mark iv channel was getting into the higher stuff i don’t typically like, but i found that i couldnt stop playing…..it was a good higher gain sound. Extreme i didnt mess with really. But i guess its like 4-6 amps in one really. And especially with the eq, You can really make it sound like anything you want. Boost the highs a bit and drop the lows for a clean vox, use the pre eq and post eq together and youll never need another amp, ever. I think i just found my desert isle amp. Who woulda ever thought me with a mesa?? Everytime i see someone getting ready to play a dual rectifier on youtube i click off their channel cuz i hate that type of music typically. I always associated mesas with high gain. I was wrong. These mark v’s are a swiss army knife amp.

Possible to do a "Plus" Version With a 3 Position Footswitch allowing 1)Clean . 2) Crunch EXACTLY like Crunch Mode on Clean Channel. 3) Lead Channel. As you have heard -many could just use the Existing Clean Channel Modes . If at extra charge the above could be done - would be great for Gigging. The Crunch Mode is great as are the Cleans- amazing Engineering Feat. This Randall Smith guy has a Future in Amp Design - lol.

As much as there is no doubt that John Petrucci is amazing and he gets absolutely tight tones out of the big version, I was hoping that mesa could, for once, focus more on the 'not-so-progressive-or-djent' side of the amp. I know, there's the mini recti if you want that, but in my head right now, it's almost as if 'Mark V = Dream Theatre'. So I like where they're going with this particular demo...

JP is really a great gear-seller and having him do amp demos is great (do you know of other guitarists that do such things?). This demo was far from being progressive/djent it was more about classic rock, blues and clean tones, they barely touched the high gain super tight aggressive tone...

Hi +No M - This is probably one of the more impossible questions to answer since there are so many variables to consider beyond the amp... Like, what kind of cab will you be using, how loud is your drummer, do you play INSANELY loud, what is your monitor situation, etc...??? You'll have to try it out to be sure with your other elements (guitars, cabs, etc.) but with the right cabs/enough speakers, there's probably very few gigs the Mark Five 25 can't pull off.

Personally, I have been using the Mark IV for the last 25 years and wouldn't have it any other way. I like utilizing the warmth and sweetness that can be obtained from the amp, whether through the clean channel or the overdrive. Most of the tones in this demo are not my cup of tea. I don't say that as a criticism of the amp or those demoing it, but just that my personal taste is different from the sounds I am hearing on this video. That being said, the amp has unlimited possibilities combined with effective use of whatever guitar you are using,

One question about this amp, when using the cab clone feature for silent recording, does it work as a dummy load or should you always have a speaker connected. Btw, it sucks to live in europe because this amp costs like 1750€ (about $2075 incl. tax) here new even tho it has the cab clone built in.

Still haven't found it in Mexico, I might have to import it or bring one on the plane next time I visit the U.S. I really need this amp, lol. All the features and tone in a head I can actually carry with one hand, I'm in love.

@mesaboogie 9 лет назад

HiAristowi - Thanks for your interest and the kind words. We don't currently have distribution in Mexico so please contact the factory directly to discuss purchase options: mesaboogie.com/support/contact-us.html

My New Amp Is HERE!

@UglyBunnyJase 10 лет назад

So many thoughts... Absolutely gorgeous little amp - especially the nice wood one. I think its only selling point for those of us that have the big daddy V is the built-in cab clone, unfortunately. I guess it'd be great for people that were on the fence about getting the Mark V but were put off by the price. I almost never use channel 2 on the V so this might be nice. However, i use channel 2 on my Mark IV exclusively, so take that FWIW. Anyway, M/B - as always, great work and nice vid. I don't think this is gonna become a classic, but it's a great compromise if you REALLY wanted the V. Hell; I might pick one up just cause I'm addicted. I'm being pushed out of my house by all my Boogies!

@mesaboogie 10 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words and thoughtful comments,Ugly Bunny. Interesting to hear you prefer Ch. 2 on your Mark IV. Cool.Thanks for being addicted to Mesa stuff and we'll keep making smaller stuff too so you don't get pushed out of house and home... ;)

@fubitz6496 9 лет назад

I have a lot of amps... I'm still waiting on a boogie. The sound is excelelnt but it looks like a lot of work for a live player that has more than one sound. Other than being able to control the features remotely I would give it 8/10 based on the sound. I have reference monitors I'm listening to this thing from this video. It is spot on with a diversity of tone however -2 for ease of use.

@themaggot8 10 лет назад

You guys should get Mark Morton to demo one of these beauties. And for anyone who gets one of these amps, READ THE DAMN MANUAL, because most of my friends who get a Mark say "oh, mesa sucks, I can't get a good tone out of my Mark", and that is because the Mark series has so many options, that you must read the manual in order to get the most out of your amp. With my rectifier I just plugged and played, but with my Mark IV I had to read the manual, and damn, totally worth it.

@mesaboogie 10 лет назад

Thanks, Juan José Fonseca Godoy - great advice about the manuals. Lots to know about the inside details of Mesa amps, settings and best uses. Plus, our manuals are written by guitar players, for guitar players. Well worth the read.We'll give Mark a call and see if we can get him to come out and play some for us! ;)

@themaggot8 10 лет назад

MESA/Boogie That would be great. And If you get Mark to demo a mini Mark, I bet that I'll probably get one.

@jessereyna7408 10 лет назад

That last set of notes that were chorded were very distorted in a bad way;but got better when he played the singular notes. Loved the high gain power chorded sounds

@edwardjohnsabado862 8 лет назад

Hello MESA/Boogie! Good question. Just wondering if you could use the Cabclone in Markv25 along with my Mini 1x12 recto cab simultaneously for recording? will it cause any damage ? Thanks

@mesaboogie 8 лет назад

HI Edward - This is EXACTLY what the CabClone is designed to do. In fact, we highly recommend blending of a mic source and your CabClone direct source for amazing recorded tones. The CabClone Direct Out works when the Spkr switch is ON or OFF. Rock on. :)

@Terribleguitarist89 10 лет назад

I would love to add this to the stable. I'm currently running a dual recto half stack but I love the mark series sound. Closest I ever got to owning one was my mesa studio preamp that I ran into a peavey classic 4x10. Guess I'll just have to save my dollars up...

@JerryBaezAlchemus 10 лет назад

What an amazing amp for this price! I'm just in LOVE with it!! And IMO, your best demo video so far. Question: Can I assume that the 'Speaker On/Off" switch activates an internal load box when in the 'Off' position? To be able to use the integrated CabClone D.I. without the need to connect the amp to a speaker cab, like with the original CabClone? (it'd be great to hear a demo of the amp recorded from the CabClone D.I. by the way) Thanks in advance, and again, what an amazing amp!

@RafaelQuintanaRivera 10 лет назад

epic!

@mesaboogie 10 лет назад

Hi Jerry Baez - Thanks for the kind words and you are correct! Switching the Mark Five 25 CabClone SPKR switch to OFF engages the built-in load for silent recording or headphone use without the speaker. In the SPKR ON position, the speaker is active and the CabClone is using your speaker/cabinet as the load while the internal load resistor is bypassed. Still wrapping up the sample videos but hope to do a comparison video between the mics and CabClone in the near future. Thanks again for the kind words, glad you dig and hope this helps!

@HarrrySpider 10 лет назад

IMO: it would be useful to hear (along with what you have here) a single chord... just play a chord and let it ring out, in all these different modes, so we can HEAR what the amp does with notes over a few seconds of time. Are there harmonics? sustain? feedback overtones? can't really tell from this... So, rather than just bouncing through all this frantic playing (which is cool in its way), I'd prefer to also hear a single chord ring our, and a single note, bent maybe, and let the amp do the talking, yeah?

@mesaboogie 10 лет назад

HiHarrrySpider - A fantastic point and one that we do our very best trying weave both creative & interesting playing with the exact thing you're describing. The Demo video environment means all the clips are cut to their shortest possible lengths to demonstrate what were discussing but also try and cover our generally feature rich products in the shortest time possible (and the demo still ends up being 15 minutes Input Jack to Speaker Output - sheesh). As the sample videos are posted, hopefully you'll hear a bit more of what you're looking for nicely woven into some good playing examples. Thanks for the great feedback!

@HarrrySpider 10 лет назад

MESA/Boogie you mean you HAVEN'T been working on that time-travel project? wth? don't make me come to Petaluma ... Got a Mk 4 still going strong for years... Interesting that the Mark's have always been 6L6 (with EL34 option), yes? and now an EL84? curious to see what that does to the character. Small format = GREAT idea, espec. for gigging. Different feel, on clean channel? Inquiring minds want to know... I do get that you simply can't do everything in one demo, but to hear an amp's REAL character, gotta let a sound breathe a few seconds, no? cheers...

@kloaked1138 10 лет назад

Glad to see someone who actually knows how to hear the overall tone of an amp. I see nothing but people throwing fits in the comments of Premier Guitar's channel on the high-gain videos because "those guys aren't good enough" when they're playing a mix of everything to give you an overall idea of how the amp that they're playing sounds.

@prometeo9891 10 лет назад

Great innovation Mesa! This minI version has all the things that I need of the original one. But I'm wondering if It has the same sound quality. It would be great if you guys make a comparison between both amps with hi gain leads. Thanks.

@Justin.Franks 10 лет назад

Very cool amp, and at $1299 it's within reach of a much larger number of guitar players who can't justify the purchase of a >$2K Mark V. I'm curious as to how this fits in your lineup compared to the Express 5:25 -- is it meant to be a replacement for the Express (lots more features with only a slight bump in price)? Unfortunately, 10 watts is still way too loud for home use, especially in an apartment. I know it has the silent record feature with cab simulation, but even the best cab sims don't quite have the same "mojo" as a real cabinet. They do a great job at what they are designed for -- emulating the sound of a mic'd cab -- but this has a different sound and feel compared to playing on an actual cabinet in the room. I would love to see an ultra low-wattage version of this amp. Specifically, a 5W / 1W, or even better, a 5W / 0.5W version. My main amp is a 15-watt Egnater Tweaker, and the master volume rarely goes above 10 o'clock when the gain is set at noon or higher. Even my tiny 2-watt Vox Lil' Night Train can be too loud to really crank it late at night. Price this "Micro Mark" a bit lower (or even the same) as the 15-watt Transatlantic head and I think you'll have trouble producing them to keep up with sales. I know I'd sell my Tweaker and Lil' Night Train in a heartbeat to help pay for one.

@gakus123 8 лет назад

Hey. I got the two channel tipple rectifier. I wondered what the sound difference is to the rectifier and mark series. Thanks :)

@mesaboogie 8 лет назад

Hi Marcus - This is a somewhat difficult question to answer because there are many things to consider. That said, most people find the difference in bass to be the most obvious. The Rectifier offers HUGE sub low bass that still remain tight while Mark series amps offer very tight and controlled bass that can be made to sound huge with proper use of the Graphic EQ. The saturation is somewhat similar but many people hear the Rectifier distortion to be slightly more polished and heavily layered whereas Mark Series distortion is heavily saturated but slightly more raw. Finally, most people find Mark Series amps to have a little more forward midrange, whereas the Rectifiers often appear to be a little sccoped in Midrange, despite the fact that, compared to lots of other high gain amps, the Rectifier has a solid midrange content. Most importantly, we must suggest you get out and play the amps for yourself. The Rectifier is easier to set and just play, but if you like to spend time dialing in tones, the Mark series amps offer tonal explorations for years and decades. Hope this helps!

@BlvckjvckRecordings 10 лет назад

A smaller version of my favorite amp!? Time to start saving..

@anthonyknight5114 9 лет назад

While this amp is ultra cool and versatile, it really sucks that Mesa has never made these amps flexible in a live setting (meaning all the modes are not available to the user via midi. Not everyone is John Petrucci and can afford to buy three of these amazing amps just to have all the modes available at the press of a button. I'll definitely buy one when that happens. Great job though as always, Boogie.

@mesaboogie 9 лет назад

HiAnthony Knight- Thanks for the kind words! Regarding switching, this is the age old issue with providing versatile amplification. If you provide switching between the MODES, you HAVE TO include a separate Master to be able to balance the levels between the modes based on the level differences which are inherent to modes with different amounts of gain and voicings, etc.. THEN, you deal with channels and modes that are sharing settings, and that RARELY works out EXACTLY like you want it to... since you want one setting with a certain mode and another setting with another. MIDI switching is basically irrelevant in this case if you can't balance levels. There are compromises in almost every design, but particularly when you are trying to offer more compact and affordable packages like the Mark Five 25, there's no way to offer the modes as footswitchable because what you really want is a 3 or 4 channel amp. In this case, you still get the modes (which are distinct amplifier sounds), it's just not possible to provide all the circuitry needed to make it 100% useable from a footswitchable perspective. Next best thing... Pedals... to get you that third sound for your gigs... if this is the amp that gets it really close to working for you. Otherwise, we offer 3 and 4 channel amps that do it. Hope this helps. It would be awesome if it was easy to make the modes footswitchable. If it was, we would do it!!! :D

@TheCrystalyne 8 лет назад

I was thinking that this amp would be great for studio visits, I have had a 5:50 Express for the longest time but its a bit large to lug around...but watching this video, it sounds like it tries to be master of every possible genre with very high gain emphasis. I probably wouldn't use 70% of the sounds in it....a bit disappointed as I was all set to love it...

@mesaboogie 8 лет назад

Hi +TheCrystalyne - Nearly all Mesa amps try to be very versatile, which is a mantra of the company to provide amps that playters can find many sounds with as well as grow with the amp as their styles, gigs and needs change. Our video demos try to showcase many different styles so that you can see the variety that this amp (and all of the others offer. Our Founder, Designer and President Randall Smith calls it "Value for Your Amplifier Dollar"... meaning that you have an amp whose Gain & Tone Controls are capable of a wide range of adjustment and sounds. It's important to keep in mind that... well... there are knobs on it and you will set those knobs on it where you want them... and the next guy who plays it will do the same. Maybe you're working on a Blues album/song one day, and the next day is classic rock, and the next day is metal. This amp will do ALL of those sounds - you just have to turn the knobs and find them. Compared to amps that are often referred to as "one-trick ponies", this is just ther way we do it and the way we think our amps should be. Your mileage may vary but hopefully this response will encourage you to check out the amp in person for yourself, turn the knobs where you want them and find out if it has the range of sounds you want/need. At the end of the day, no demo can encompass everything everyone will be looking for. It just gives you ideas and if it interests you, it;s time for more research. The best research is playing it for yourself - nothing beats that and usually the first couple of notes will tell you one way or the other. Hope this helps and thanks for your interest! :D

@TheCrystalyne 8 лет назад

+MESA/Boogie Thanks for the very detailed reply :-) Went into the dealer today and arranged for them to get one in from their HQ to try. One thing I do find very useful is the Cab Clone feature. I use a Cab Clone with my Maz 18 for recording at home and its excellent.

@mesaboogie 8 лет назад

Awesome, TheCrystalyne! Hope you dig and glad to hear the CabClone is working well with your Maz (great amp!). Let us know how the tryout with the Mark Five: 25 goes... :D
