Great review guys, I really dig that guitar& combo. The mid-boost feature only works on the top channel though, not the bottom channel, it’s a regular mid control on the bottom channel.
+LoudonGuitar - The MkV:35 will punch and them some! A couple of the guys here are using them as part of their gig rig & they have nothing but praise for them. They also have a Cab Clone built into them, so you can go directly into the PA too. Hope this has helped Murdoch
it will get through,,trust me...my drummer is loud as hell and hits the skins hard..my bassist has tremendous cut and this 35 watt fits the bill just fine,,,,i play rock and metal,,and use the clean channel a great deal for the Funky stuff we do...lion-hearted.us.org..check us out
Question... If V35 were compared with V25, in 10 and 25 watts, will be the same sound, tone, headroom, etc... it feels like losing tone compared to V25.
Allan Ardon Because the 5:35 has a bigger output transformer than that of the 5:25, the 25-watt and 10-watt settings will be warmer and bigger than those settings on the 5:25.
Allan Ardon According to the official Mesa product video (as well as my heavy research), the 5:25 and 5:35 are identical in every way, with the exception that the 5:35 adds the solo controls, the "Vintage" mode on the built-in Cab Clone, two more EL84 output tubes, and a larger output transformer, as well as a long spring reverb tank (as opposed to the short spring tank in the 5:25). Apparently the 10 and 25 watt settings on the 5:35 sounds better than the 5:25 because of the larger output transformer. All in all a better amp.
couldn't help notice but you didn't have the eq controls set at 12 o clock at all ... just an observation, why not just include the changes and due a proper revue?
You can throw it down to 10watts and it's really good. You won't get the punch at the full 35watt but this amp kicks ass !! Get a 1x12 for the bedroom and 2x12 cab for everything else. Enjoy
I try really hard to like it but. Having that dialed in Mkiii purple stripe sitting in the next room. Mesa needs to start making that quality of amp again. There really is no comparison. Maybe they just CAN'T do it anymore.
@@aaronshortmusic Its been like it since I bought it... its a real problem... Im having teh tubes changed this week...I did try another one a 25 watt version, and that was the same... lots fo people say that its normal...i say un usable...LIVE. does yours thud.?
