I don’t understand haters man. You’re great at what you do and you crack me up all the time! This channel is a great resource and your opinion carries a ton of weight. Thank you dude!
THANK YOU Kyle !!!!!! You And Ola are the ONLY ones that have TRULY Been able to dial in THE Tones ...This into the oversized Mesa cab is HEAVEN ...🤘😄😄😄😄😄😄😄🤘 And YEAH, F **K the Haters .... You are awesome sir !!!! Keep up the GREAT content !!!!!
Disregard all the hate! Your content is genuine and presented in a very relatable way and guitarists find a lot of value in it! Also, I own two thunderhorses, a mk IV and MkV so Im really happy to see that come out! Bring that shit out more!
OH YEAHHHH. Gotta love the Mesa Sound. The pull shifts and such are so useful at really shaping the tone. They put some of those in the Mark IV, but I think in the Mark IIC+ and Mark III, which had them all accessible, were able to be really dialed in. Also big thanks for the SG tones. I LOOOVE my SGs, and you really dialed in a great 80's hair sound.
sounds awesome man! Ya I was thinking the same thing about how shocking it must've been to hear those amps in person for the first time, it was so ahead of its time. When you think of it, if there was no Mark 2C+ we wouldn't have the metallica sound that we know any love. It basically has a boost pedal built into it because of the EQ knobs being ahead of the preamp/gain. The 5 band is where the actually eq'ing occurs.
Everyone hates the uberschall twin jet but after a dial in with no external input from anyone else ever it just sounds amazing. Sometimes people talk about the gain level but what you realize when recording with it or mixing it with external audio anything more is really useless and it’s about the tone not the level of gain. I like it because it’s so bright and has a glamorous sizzle.
Disregard might be deemed negative comments. Your videos are always fun, they just keep getting better. For this one, say it's a little "mid forward" sounding, but double the guitars, mate it up with bass and drums providing the thunder, and these tones would probably be crushingly massive in real world context. Whatever "real world" really is. 🤔🎸🤘
The absolute joy in your facial expressions is infectious. Always has been. Glad you're digging it. I've watched you wrestling with an amp a couple of times before, and that's no bueno.
Always here for the belligerent amateurity. I hope you and your family had a Merry Xmas. Also once again thanks to you I am ordering a new pedal (Lichtlaerm King In Yellow OD) Your OD choices have yet to steer me wrong
Sounds really good!! You did excellent at demoing this! Much better than the original promotion! Makes me want to get one! Heck, you've inspired me to actually buy things before with ZERO regrets! \m/
@@_Stay_Curious yes, just read the manual, there is literally a IIC+ setting for the Mark IV. I own a IV rev A, a friend owns a Rev B and an OG IIC+ and with that setting they sound pretty much identical.
Good vid. Very glad you ditched the boost for this one. This is one amp that I don't want to hear additional input stage filtering on top of what is already available with the onboard controls. That drop C(?) Nazgul loaded Explorer sounds phenomenal as does the faded SG. Good job!
As a BLUES LAWYER and major Gibson fan boy i find these tones to be insulting. Agressive tonality which manifests a PESANTRY rage. Things are going great in this country. I just bought my THIRD YACHT. Who has time for the RAGE MUSIC of the NE'ER'DOWELLS. If you played this type of music on one of my YACHT parties youd be BOOED off stage in favor of some more Clapton esque riffs. Perhaps "YOU LOOK WONDERFUL TONIGHT"?
Love your straight shoot'n honesty that comes with your videos. Totally authentic and such a treasure. Love you bud! Merry Christmas! Your haters, obviously are just very sad people who can't help but be who they are... unfortunately. Also... THANK YOU for your low output pickup video. I could totally hear the clarity, which just makes ALL the difference when tracking and standing out at a show.
Sounds great. I have owned a few Boogies in the past. For some reason they became more difficult to dial in a nice specific tone. I have come across original CII + a few times they wanted a lot for them as they are highly regarded.

How different in feel and tone is the PRS MT15 compared to the Mark VI? I really can't afford or carry big tube ammos anymore and the MT15 Mesa=-esque tones would still work in a band knowing that transformer size. Plus I am finally accepting indie shows have PAs now too so I will be heard. You should just play the Chug intro riffs to EC- Firestorm each video. At This point is that the most copied riff of all time next to the breakdown in Metallica- ONe?
I also have a Mark v 90w and thought had crossed my mind but I use all the different modes. Hence why I'll keep it. If you don't use all the modes then I'd say go for it or look at the jp2c
@@kreepthedestroyer The V is really good with the AT7 mod, that brings the old school style saturation because you can crank the treble more but it's tighter than the C+ and the JP2C
@ the circuit of the Mark VII is definitely different, but the 12AT7 mod for the Mark V is meant to remove the ice pick highs that come from a poor design. At most I’d try swapping the phase inverter tube for an AT7 and see if you like the change.
Really great tones sir! QUESTION Though - I have this amp and I’m running into lots of hum noise whenever I have the input gain, treble, or lead gain above “7” … are you running a noise gate in this video? How are you handling the hum? Thanks for all the great content and please keep doing what you’re doing :)
Are those the Bill Kehlihehleehrhehr Signature HUmbuckers or does RItchie Falkner of Judas Priest have a Signature pickup? * edit, Dissonant Aggressor is a Judas Priest song for those who don't know
Will you do a comparison with this and other amps? If so, I'd love to see you include the Mezzabarba Apocalypse in that comparison, since they specifically say James was of the main inspiration for the Apocalypse sound (with Mezza flavor sprinkled in) :)
Your channel is fantastic. Don’t take it to heart. Means you’re doing something right. Plus how sad do you have to be to leave negative comments on someone’s TH-cam? Just find a different channel. It’s vast on here!
Great video Kyle!! I hope you had a great Christmas and hope you did ok on that Mesa 2x12 I sold you. Did you ever get a chance to test out the Mojotone speakers? They are soooo good. Keep up the great work and thanks for the awesome entertaining videos.
Gibson really took the most finicky amp, notorious for it's active eq, and the necessity of dialing in a tone *just right*, and just surprised some dudes with and said, "Play something for us, guitar monkey!" How could they have been so ignorant of the very product they were trying to sell?
@ great band! I remember seeing their first Canadian show and was hooked. Saw them a few times over the years including with Chokehold last year. Loved the video but hearing that made my day
4:19 😂That technique is exactly how you need to tweak that sensitive as fuck GEQ on a Mark. Factory frets on the ‘58 or did you get bigger frets put on?
Why not just say that "I saw this a little earlier at Sweetwater but I wanted some more time with it." You would not be disrespectful to Gibson and Sweetwater.
I A+B my orignal Mk IIC+ against the new one and it does not sound the same I even tried the new one thru and original Mesa Boogie 4x12 cab and it does not sound the same. Its close but not exact to the original.
I mean no two amps of the same make and model sound exactly the same due to component variance, and when you’re talking about an amp that’s like 40 years old it’s had enough time to experience component drift so of course it won’t sound *exactly* the same.
@@tony2tone1985cool story bro, but the originals haven’t dropped in price 75% no matter what you haters say online. lol. Original owners aren’t selling to buy that reissue. lol
This and Ola's demo is what Gibson should have used for their press release video.
Your doing a great job... falk the haters..
Thanks man! Def trying! Lol

This is what I like about your channel. You’re having fun and we’re just hanging out. Keep it up 👍
Sweet Jesus that thing sounds BRUTAL! Can't beat the Mesa chug.

Loved the explorer tone! Would quite like that rig tbh!
I got one on order, I cant wait.
Sounds awesome to me. What are the general complaints people are having about this amp?
I think the controversy is over a bad product rollout video from Mesa Boogie.
So raw and aggressive yet surprisingly tight. Much like the mark iv tones on the early lamb of god stuff
That's because the MKIV's red channel is based on the IIC+.
You always have and always will be one of the real ones. Merry Christmas, brother.

The amp by itself is WAY better.
I have one on order and you always dial in the best high gain tones. no controversy, just thrash
Kyle as always, I love your energy, you’re hilarious man
The tight Riffing is what does it for me! 💪 The Mesa Boogie does sound Killer though. Great review ! ✌️
The top on that Les Paul....💯

I didn't see the infamous Sweetwater video but glad to see Kyle dialed it in how he wanted! Even with the master cranked, it still sounds pretty good!
Okay, you've convinced me that I at least need to try this amp. I own a Mark IV already, but I want to experience the "feel."
The Mark IV does everything this amp can do and then some...

Brother I have a faded with the moon inlays. It always wins when we pick guitars for recording. Shing and chime.
