MESA BOOGIE MARK FIVE:25 V:25 HEAD NEW WITH WARRANTY!
This is a NEW Mesa Boogie Mark FIVE 25 head new just opened and played to be checked out. Comes with cover footswitch and 5 year warranty transferable This is one powerful little head sounds amazing and has plenty of power for the lager venues but small enough to use in your house. This is one versatile amp! Made in the USA with all the best parts and designs. With the built in cabclone great for recording at home or in the studio!
At 16.5 lbs., 14" wide, 2 Channels, 6 Modes and with a
Built in CABCLONE DI, the new MARK FIVE: 25™ provides a “greatest hits”
collection of our renowned Mark Series preamp circuits served up with a brash
new attitude all its own and packaged in a unbelievably small size!
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!
THOROUGHBRED STOCK. THE MARK IIC+™, MARK IV™ and MARK V™ ARE
HERE
The MARK FIVE: 25™ is born of thoroughbred stock that
carries worldwide accolades and is still setting trends with top Artists 35
years after its unveiling. The MARK FIVE: 25, like the MARK V™, 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! From the
groundbreaking MARK I™ that introduced the world to high-gain with it’s
cascading preamp, to the MARK II™ - the world’s first high gain Dual Mode
Channel Switching amplifier (and its later siblings that introduced Simul-Class™
power). From the MARK III™ that ushered in the era of 3 Channel footswitching
performance, to the MARK IV™ which gave all that power individual control, the
MARK V (and now the FIVE: 25) is the embodiment of the last 45 years of guitar
amp evolution. Packing the legendary preamp TONE, stylistic versatility and
aggressiveness of the MARK IIC+™, MARK IV and MARK V, the new MARK FIVE: 25
combines the power of our most famous Mark Series preamps with our exclusive
Dyna-Watt™ 2xEL84 power section to create a new Mark Series amp of
unprecedented portability, clip-ability and high-speed, tactile expressiveness.
The result is a new bench-MARK, every bit worthy of its ancestor’s storied
heritage.
CHANNEL 1
This Channel incorporates our best two Clean Modes ever,
CLEAN and FAT from the MARK V. These Modes offer two musically useful flavors
of this sparkling low gain voice that benefit from 35 years of continuous
refinement and take Clean sounds to a dynamic, new touch-sensitive plateau. A
third “crossover” Mode (CRUNCH) is also showcased here in Channel 1 and again,
it’s taken directly from the acclaimed MARK V.
The CRUNCH Mode covers the mid-gain ground between Clean and
mildly overdriven and ultimately, with this power section, on up to the higher
gain sounds of its namesake. CRUNCH by itself is worthy of—and delivers more
than—most stand-alone amplifiers. Also, here in the FIVE: 25, CRUNCH is
enhanced by the ability to blend in more power section clip at lower volumes
due to its lower wattage range. The EL84s accentuated top end harmonic content
adds a nice openness to lower GAIN settings and Brit-voiced shred to the higher
GAIN range, making CRUNCH even more applicable and valuable. You will likely
find it one of the most useful Modes of all in this MARK’s arsenal.
MID BOOST
Channel 1 in the MARK FIVE: 25 is also fitted with an
additional (patent applied for) MID/BOOST feature that increases both the gain
and flexibility in all three of its Modes. What was a switchable On/Off Gain
Boost feature on the original MARK I appears here as an adjustable MID/BOOST
found on the MID Control. From 0 to 5.0 on the MID/BOOST you will find the
normal range of a standard MID control in a condensed form. From 5.0 to 10 on
the MID/BOOST a wonderful graduation of overdrive possibilities unfold that
enhance gain over a wide midrange spectrum and saturate with increasing
thickness. The dial-to-taste smooth, warm overdrive found in the MID/BOOST
transforms Channel 1 into a full featured (high gain) amplifier all its own and
offers HUGE potential for great solo and overdriven rhythm sounds across a wide
range of styles.
CHANNEL 2
The top Mode of Channel 2 (the MK IIC+ Mode) is an exact
recreation of the iconic MARK IIC+ LEAD Mode and offers the blistering midrange
focus and searing top end of this classic 30 year-old circuit. Its urgent
attack and tight midrange focus provide the perfect canvas to create,
especially huge Rock and Metal sounds, with another iconic MARK feature... the
on-board Boogie® Five-Band Graphic EQ. Many Heavy Rock aficionados find the MK
IIC+ Mode with the EQ employed their go-to sound for aggressive high gain
rhythm work. For the rest it provides an articulate, singing high gain voice
with tons of mid-focus clarity from which to craft your signature Lead voice.
Channel 2’s middle Mode, the MK IV Mode, is another exact
recreation, this time of the MARK IV’s “Lead” Channel and it appears on both
the 6L6 MARK FIVE’S Channel 3 roster and here on the MARK FIVE: 25. This MARK
IV Lead Mode is fatter and creamier than its mid-accentuated brother, offering
a warmer voice that’s great for both single note soloing and high gain
chording. It’s nicely juxtaposed to the pointed, more forward voice of the IIC+
and is supremely balanced and full bodied. Played with or without the Five Band
EQ, the MK IV Mode is a great all around choice for so many styles, low or high
gain, and would be ideal even as the only Lead Mode. Its warmth, balance and
easy to play feel are the sonic anchor for Channel 3 in the EL84 powered MARK
FIVE: 25.
The XTREME Mode (bottom Mode) is also a faithful duplication
and taken directly from the 6L6 MARK V. It definitely lives up to its name and
delivers the radical dose of high gain infused with extra harmonics and even
more urgent attack than its cousin upstairs, the IIC+ Mode. This hyper reactive
voice jumps at the first hint of pick attack and roars with aggression. It’s
further antagonized by the similar response of the EL84 power tubes here in the
FIVE: 25 with their fast attack, higher mid frequency and relative lack of
sub-low bottom end. XTREME shreds, grinds and thrashes like the angry teen it
is circuit-wise and whatever it lacks in nuance, it makes up for in brash
attitude. It’s very fast, forward and furious and should be used in musical
environments where you don’t care if you offend and/or dominate... and in fact,
may even be the goal.
LEGENDARY BOOGIE® 5-BAND GRAPHIC EQ
The on-board 5-Band Graphic EQ has been an iconic trademark
of MARK Series Boogies since it first appeared on the MARK I back in 1970. The
shaping power of this feature can’t be denied, especially when combined with
the MARK II and IV’s tight, mid-focused gain sound. In the ‘80s the classic “V”
setting of the Graphic EQ on MARK II and III models became an instant Classic.
The Graphic EQ comes at the very end of the signal chain so you can shape the
final sound with the only consideration being how much of a certain frequency
your speakers, cabinet – and ultimately your ears – can handle.
MULTI-WATT™ CHANNEL ASSIGNABLE POWER
To the right of the Graphic EQ SLIDERS are the Multi-Watt™
Channel Assignable Power switches for each Channel. These allow selection of
either the full 25 watts of Dyna-Watt™ power with its more-than-rated punch and
impressive burst of headroom on the attack, or the brighter and oh-so-clip-able
10 watts of Class AB Triode power. Dyna-Watt is the choice for most gigging or
rehearsing with others and provides the maximum volume for clean sounds and the
tightest tracking response for high gain rhythm work, especially in the low
end.
The 10 Watt setting flips the 2xEL84s over to a CLASS A/B
Triode wiring configuration that offers an opposite power response to Dyna-Watt
along with greatly increased clip-ability. It produces a skinnier, slightly
brighter response and is the same low power scheme used in our Mini Rectifier®
25 for its ability to track many styles and it’s the perfect fit for the 6
versatile preamp Modes here in this MARK rendering as well. The 10 Watt setting
is great for lower volume practicing, rehearsing and recording and allows more
use of the power section as a gain source, enabling you to reduce the preamp’s
GAIN Control settings and explore the old school approach to achieving tube
overdrive... power saturation.
BUFFERED SERIES FX LOOP
The Buffered, Tube FX LOOP is the interface point for
outboard processing and it provides a junction between the preamp and power
section. The LOOP performs well with both Rack and Pedal type outboard gear
with the obvious exceptions being those effects that work better on the INPUT of
an amplifier (Wah, Compression, Gain and Overdrive Pedals, Envelope Filters,
etc.). Since it is buffered, you can use multiple units in line and relatively
longer lengths of cable (25 feet or less) before hearing too much degradation
in signal.
HEADPHONE OUTPUT
The MARK FIVE: 25 includes a HEADPHONE Output for personal
enjoyment of the amplifier when it is not possible to play through a speaker.
This jack derives its “speaker simulated” signal from the included CABCLONE™
D.I. feature and delivers a surprisingly good rendering of the FIVE: 25’s sound
and feel to your headphone set of choice.
ALL-TUBE, SPRING REVERB
Next up are the REVERB Controls and there is an individual
MIX for each Channel. This allows different amounts of the all-tube,
short-spring analog Reverb to be dialed in for each of the MARK FIVE: 25’s two
Channels. Anything from a subtle background ambience to a fully drenched effect
can be dialed according to taste and musical style.
INTRODUCING THE CABCLONE™ D.I.
And last but DEFINITELY not least, is possibly the coolest feature
ever to grace a MESA® Rear Panel, the on-board CABCLONE™ D.I. and Cabinet
Simulation feature. This built-in magic allows you to capture a wonderful
representation of the sound and feel of the MARK FIVE: 25 direct to a Console,
Converter or even direct to a Recorder without the need to mic up the speaker.
Taken directly from our acclaimed stand-alone CABCLONE, this
compensated D.I. (and HEADPHONE Output) does an incredible job of capturing the
signal from the SPEAKER OUTPUT and turning it into direct injection gold. The
four elements here allow for use both with a live speaker and without, so you
can blend the direct and a mic’d speaker cabinet if you so desire. The CABCLONE
section features switches for SPEAKER Status (OFF/ON), CABINET Style (OPEN BACK/CLOSED
BACK), GROUND (GROUND/LIFT; Pin 1 Float) and an XLR BALANCED Output. This array
of controls comprises perhaps the most valuable and welcome feature set on any
MESA amp and expands both the functionality and enjoyment potential many fold.
The MARK FIVE: 25 is the first of our amplifiers to include this powerful tool
built right in for speedy and convenient live use or recording applications
without sacrificing authenticity and Tone.
