what have we here?
looks interesting
could it be?
IT COULD!
A Mesa Boogie Mark V
I've really only just touched the surface of what this beast can do having had it for a few days now. I have to admit i was a bit worried to begin with as i have just had bareknuckle blackdogs put in my RG1527 and i thought their medium output had pussified this amp a bit. However... i have now had a chance to crank the volume a bit and stick my MXR GT OD in front and near crushed my ribcage this afternoon :yesway:
channel one is the 'clean' channel although set it to tweed and youl get some really nice overdrive or 'spankyness'. I prefer the cleans to be be very clean and not break up and using the clean or fat mode im able to achieve this nicley and get a really rounded full clean sound. I engaged the bold switch as i thought it pushed the sound out a bit more.
the second channel i havent really done a huge amount with but one thing i would note is that the lows on the Mark I setting are INSANE:scream: i had the bass set to about 9 oclock and it was still huge. i imagine this channel would be nice for leads once i get it dialed in right.
Channel 3 has the option of the mark II C+ mark IV or Extreme.
I prefer the mark IV and mark II C+ modes but im not ruling extreme out yet as i've not had a chance to play with it much yet.
great sustain and depth in the distortion which really growls which is what i was after when i bought this amp.
