- Could this be the best & the most comprehensive amp I've ever played? Can this do it all? And how it compares to The Bad Boy (Marshall JCM800 2203 from 1984) and 1987x Plexi.
Thanks to MusiX for hooking me up with the amp.

#EugeValovirta #MesaBoogie #MarkV
The world's most unforgiving amplifiers. You sound particularly great through this beast.
Nothing beats your mark IV tones Leon. Unless Euge gets it on his channel of course lol
They definitely are. Similar to my old VHT/Fryette Pittbull UL in that respect.
One of them indeed 😎. Thanks mate! 🙏
😁🤟
Leon and Euge.... my two favorite TH-cam guitar guys.
Leon is the master of the AxeFX-III... and Euge is the master of the old-school JCM800!
this is the first review i've ever seen that actually A/B's the mark V to the target marshals. well done my dude.
Thanks! 🤟🙏
Best demo of the mark V I’ve heard yet !!!!! You dialed it in perfectly !!!
Oh thanks man! Glad to hear!
Absolutely agree. This should replace Mesa’s official demo of the V. Incredible playing and so entertaining. Cheers!
You looked like that kid who just got the exact gift they wanted for Christmas. Great playing and sound. I could tell you really did like it. 🤘
I most certainly did 😎👌.
Yepp, love your happiness about this one
This is the best Mark V video on YT.
Glad to hear! Thanks!
I own a Mark V since 2012 and you've done a very good job with this review, you are really doing justice to this wonderful amp.
Thanks man!
El mejor review que e visto sobre el Mark V ❤❤
Best review of this amp on TH-cam. I have the same Mark V 90 watt going through a dual rectifier oversized cab. There is nothing that compares in my humble opinion. I get exactly what you are trying to say. Just watching the smile on your face as you talk about the Mark said it all. Thanks for a great review.
Thanks man!
This might be THE amp to get for modern tones with the ability to get over to plexi-land and visit every place in between.
Im gonna make my kids watch your videos to get him/her realize the beauty and passion in details they can find in things
Wish you health the most , im sure you will always have the rest of good stuff
Thanks! 🙏
The amp used by some of my all time favorite musicians. Sounds sick! It can be tight or give you sag. It can be really wide, but still mid-heavy.
Also, your demos are the best amp demos on TH-cam imo. It’s awesome to hear a song in the beginning every time, cause you do it right so amp shines with it’s best.
Indeed 👌.
Thanks man! Really glad to hear this!
I just recently got a Mark V head and this video sold me on this amp. The best run through I have seen. Thank you
Thanks!
Those tones and your reaction...I want the same experience!! Killer tones man. The head shell color scheme looks fantastic compared to stock black. Boogie welcome home!
Thanks man! Indeed 👌😎.
i feel your passion for the sounds of this amp. incredible
🤟
I have watched this video several times today contemplating picking one of these up. Congratulations you sold me on it, now just to get mine to sound like that. Excellent video, thank you.
A great choise 👌🤟. Thanks! Glad to hear!
Man I’m sold. I’m amazed how well it does those mid to low gain tones. What a great amp.
Indeed. Absolutely amazing amp 👌.
I’ve had a Mark V 90W for a decade, but your enthusiasm and playing on this vid was so contagious that I had to play with it again for a few hours right after watching this clip! 😁 What a brutally awesome and freakingly versatile piece of art this amp is 🤘🏻
A cork-sniffer’s tip: For the very best-est tone for recording, hard bypass the fx loop with the switch on the back panel. Bypassing the loop circuit completely improves further the clarity and openness of the sound quite a bit, especially in high gain modes. And for recording you don’t really need the loop circuit functions for anything - especially when using a reactive load and IR’s . You’ll probably be adding the post-gain effects like delays in DAW anyway (just remember that bypassing the loop circuit bypasses the Output and Solo level controls as well, so if you’re plugged into a real cab, it will be LOUD with typical channel master settings…).
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Exactly 👌.
I run a fortin 33 in the front and it's insane
It’s amazing how the presentation can change the perception. I’ve owned this for more than a year and tried it just once.
Now I can’t wait to get back home and plug it in. I have the 90 combo. But I’ll wire it through the recto cab. Thanks for a great video.
Glad to hear man! Thanks!
bruh how are you just sitting on a 4k amp and not playing it at all
@@7n1s7er
Time..
that my friend is the determining factor
Best expiration of how to understand why it sounds so good! Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
I love this video. I've watched it about 20 times.
I have leanred more about my amps from Euge than I could ever figure out on my own. Mesa Boogie needs to sponsor Euge. This dude probably has sold lots of Mesa Amps just from this video.
Thanks man! Glad to hear!
I wouldn’t be against that 😎.
I've watched almost all of your videos, But I've never seen you so happy as when you play the Boogie. I'm your fan and got this amp today. My impression after playing the Boogie Mark V was that you are right! -From South Korea
Yeah it’s a great amp!
You're videos are just one badass jam session after another, the gear is a bonus! Lol. So stoked and inspired dude!
Oh thanks man! 🙏🤟☺️
Egue, you are a treat to watch, not only are you a monster player, you can write, record, mix, master with ease. I really enjoy these amp reviews a lot. I just discovered your channel a few months ago. You popped up one day when I was looking at mods for my 85 JCM 800 4103 combo, I learned to lift the extra capacitor on the mid-pot to make it sound like a regular 2203. Just wanted to say, thanks for being here!
Oh thanks man! Really glad to hear this! RAWK on my man! 🤟
That whole song was wicked!! You should put that on an album, so good!
Thanks! 👌😎🤟
That song you played at the beginning was incredible. Those descending palm muted notes in the main riff! That part gets me hyped to play! Is that a song yet? Id love to listen to it. It rocked hard!
Thanks! We’ve been working on it with Cyhra so let’s see if it’ll be on our next album. If not I’ll put it out by myself with a singer 😎.
My favourite guitar channel! Cheers!
Thanks man! Glad to hear!
Dude! Best review of the Mark V I've seen. I've owned one for a couple years now and I really love it. I was always surprised that there's not that many good videos of the amp on TH-cam since it's so good! But you really nailed it.
Thanks man! Really glad to hear this!
Absolutely the BEST, I mean BEST presentation of this amp. I've had mine for a while and watched many, many videos on some ideas/direction for sounds, however, many of those videos give a good direction, but Euge, my Mark V has come alive! As always, great videos and thank you very much for the detail of your chain and settings of this beast. In addition, your excitement and honesty is very pleasing to see. Thanks again, keep the videos coming! Go Boogie Go!
Oh thanks! Really glad to hear this! 🤟🙏
Congrats man! I love my little Mk V:25, I have it for 4 years now and it still makes me smile:)
Thanks! Cool man!
Euge, I am editing my comment because I felt I wasn't really acknowledging your excitement about the Mark 5. I have always been a Mesa Boogie fan and I was an owner of the original Mark 2C+. I know you make the 5 sound absolutely awesome. And I know it's one of the best amps out there. I just like the sound of my Marshall better. I would like to hear your Boogie and JCM800 together as stereo. I bet that would sound way awesome.
I watch this channel for the Marshalls but play a Mark V, thoroughly enjoyed this! 👍
Glad to hear this man! 😎🤟
Oh Yes Indeed.
I have the 35w Mark V and I dialed in the monster sound on the Crunch channel like you do without looking at the dials. Wow. I've owned this thing for a few years and love it but I've never made it sound like that. Love your channel.
Cool man! Glad to hear!
Outstanding sounding amp! That clean was just buttery. It was awesome seeing you enjoying the amp and letting the music flow. Glad to see you're keeping it. Seems like it really supercharged your creativity and got you excited about tone. Have a great week brother 🤘 🤘
It is indeed! I surely did and do 😎. Thanks man and likewise!
That intro riff rocked so freakin hard man! Keep up the rockin riffs!
Thanks!
Euge has the tone in his hands! He has active fingers! With the exception, this is one of the only video on the Internet where he makes this amp sound incredible. Everybody else has the wrong EQ, it’s muddy, flabby or ear piercing on the highs. Euge is the man!
I must’ve watched this video 10 times! Thank you Euge for all your videos!
Thanks man! Glad to hear!
I just bought one of the last new Mark 5s in the US! Thank you! You videos inspire me. When I heard this amp next to the SLO I thought this sounded better! Happy new year!
Rock on! Thanks and likewise!
This thinking is a beast! I picked one up and love the brutal sound 🤘🏻
With 34’s in it, I did a recording with the Edge setting on CH 2 that sounds easily as good and just like a ‘78 2203 I used to have. Also CH1 on a clean setting does an awesome hard rock sound if you max the gain, get the CH volume at about 2 O’Clock, set the treble fairly high, mids around 10-12 O’Clock and bass to just before it flubs. Also get the presence up a bit. Set the Overall Master volume to around 10-11 O’Clock and it’s just hard rock greatness. An Attenuator is a must to get everything out of this amp.
Absolutely fantastic amps. Owned one (90 head) for about 13 years. Much prefer it to the VII because of the flexibility in the clean to medium high gain tones alone, on CH 1 and 2. Sounds really good with 34’s in it too.
Dude!. The versatility of this amp is phenomenal!. But your reaction has me sold!, and that tweed channel has a fuzz like saturation that's beautiful!!. And that JTM like sound has me excited. I think I know what I'll get when I sell my invective.
🤟👌😎
Great review. Been watching your channel for over a year and don't recall ever seeing you as impressed and emphatic as you are in this one. Congrats on your new toy. You deserve it, and it deserves you!
Thanks! Indeed 😎🙏🤟.
Man... You just "sold" me the amp. Such a complete and well exemplified demo, with proper comparisons.
I've just ask my store to order me one as soon as they are back in stock.
🤟
Damn man! The guitar tones on your channel are incredible!!!!!! *It is cool how you get it all mixed so nothing is too overbearing too!* Great job doing a demo on the Mesa amp!
Thanks man!
whow what a great Video and the Mesa Mark V is a amazing Amp, i have the little Brother the Mark V 25 and i love this sound from Boogie. I love your channel , make more please.....🤘
Great video man. As other's said best Mark V video out there. It also doesn't hurt to have an 800/plexi kicking around for some A/B but I think its critical in understanding some of what the Mark V can do. Just bought one of these used 2 days ago for $1,400. It was built in 2012 and its an absolute time capsule, and 1/3 the price of new. Totally worth it.
Thanks! Indeed 👌💪.
I have a JP-2C, but your enthusiasm for this amp, especially channel two, made me want to try it out. I got one and absolutely fell in love with the crunch voicing. Unfortunately, the reverb wasn’t working so I had to send it back, but in its place I decided to just go for it and get a JCM 800 and I couldn’t be happier! Love your channel, cheers!
Cool man! Thanks!
Awesome! This is one of the best videos for us Old School guys who love Marshall JCM 800 and Mark 2C. You can do Zakk on a Mesa!
Thanks!
This guy is so cool! I bought this head the night I watched this video for the first time.
Damn brother. That was incredible. I was literally fixing to flip a coin to decide on this amp or the tc-100. I just couldn't decide. But when you said there was no boost on that intro.... shit bro. I'll be putting that coin back in my pocket. Case closed. This is THE amp no doubt. 🤟🤟👍🍻 thanks for this.
Thanks man!
first video that make justice to mark v
Glad to hear! Thanks! 😎🙏
WOW! Such a brilliant video! And yes dude, I love my MarkV:90 as much as you do! 😉
Thanks!
One of the best gear vids i’ve seen .. i just ordered one and while waiting for it i’ve already watched ur video 3 times .. excellent n stoked
Cool man! Thanks!
Thoroughly enjoyed the reviews on the Mark V. Been waiting for these! Awesome tones you got and great intros! 👍
Thanks! 🙏☺️
I bought a Mesa Mark V today because of your video. Boogie owes you a commission. Well done man!
Enjoy! 😎🤟
Love this demo. Lots of settings for me to mess around with on my V90 combo!
I must say this is the best comparison and demo of the mark V! Exceptional work 🤘
Glad to hear! Thanks!
I've watched a lot of demos on this amp and I own the 35 and 25. Your description of each mode was the best I think.
Glad to hear! Thanks!
I’ve had one of these since they came out and it keeps teaching me new things about my playing and getting a great amp sound even now. Thanks for this walk through!
Cool man! Thanks!
@@EugeValovirta230V The eye opening bit for me was the realisation about the Tweed, Edge and Crunch modes. Thinking of them as a 45, Plexi and 800 has really opened them up for me. Weird I know. I'm watching this video again and again as I'm getting new stuff from it all the time. Thanks!
Thank you Euge, I have a mk v it failed on me but I will get it fixed. It is really important to see things from others perspectives. I thought I needed a jvm 410 or an 800. So inspiring to see your take. Alex lifeson and chewy mongrain, willy Adler and petrucci played/play mk v. Thanks Euge...so inspiring!
Glad to hear man! Thanks!
Pretty sure Petrucci plays his signature now
That smile you have, I swear I have that as well everytime I plug in XD
18:08 "I have to stay away from that because it's bad boy" 😂
😁😁😁
It’s like the 10th time I see this video, so I figured I’d comment again, Lol… I had to sell my Mark V 35 for personal reasons, but I’m working on purchasing this 90W monster. I was just recently made aware that it can also take EL34s. Anyhow, never get tired of your content. Keep it going and be well my friend.
Cool man! 😎Thanks!
This is why I love Mesa, Monster Tone! \m/
Best Mark V video on TH-cam!
Thanks man! Glad to hear!
your love for this amp is clear and sort of adorable. hahaha. great review.
Thanks! 😃
1: The song you wrote ROCKS!!!
2: You need to try the JP2C next!!!
Obviously since you like all the options and versatility, this one makes more sense, but I'd love you to review and compare just for the leads and tell us what you think!
Thanks!
Yeah I’ll try that one as soon as I get my hands on one 👌😎.
@@EugeValovirta230V Awesome, you rock! 🔥
definitely one of the best amps on the market, but not cheap!
Indeed 👌😎.
It's a once in a lifetime investment. Once you get it, you need nothing else.
Incredible review dude. Mark V's are great amps! I still remember seeing Gorguts live and Luc was using one, crushing tone.
Thanks man!
Best review of Mark V I have seen. 🤘👋
Glad to hear! Thanks!
@@EugeValovirta230V Now you got that killer Sykes tone!
this amp sounds so amazing, thanks for the demo euge. also never change your mellow and honest style in your videos, you gonna get big on youtube.
Thanks! ☺️🙏
@@EugeValovirta230V .... you are a wery big guitar player...!! and on my opinion...must musical guitar player.! all the best from...Romania.
Thanks!
I stand by solid state guitar amps for the most part, but this is the one tube guitar amp that i actually have wanted for a very long time and possibly the only tube amp that i would ever own.
There's no underestimating an amplifier that sounds good plugged straight in.
👌🤟
Mark V sounds great! My JP2C arrives tomorrow. Been waiting months for it, so pumped.
Gratz! The JP-2C is the best thing MESA makes. You will love it. Those suckers are pricey tho!
Cool!
Dude, that song was badass...Stuck in my head all day.
Glad to hear! 😎 Thanks!
Remember I asked you about it a few months back… I knew you’d love it, I knew it. Welcome to the MV90 club.
I do indeed 😎. Thanks!
You don't look like you are having any fun playing! 🤪 You guys need to get back out on tour! Ready for some of this live again.
😁😁🤟.
Indeed 🎼🔥🤟.
This is the best video on the Mark V I've seen , hopefully you will be able to do the VII as well.
Glad to hear! Thanks!
That amp has no business sounding that damn good. Thinking I might have to pick one up soon.
Congratulations on the new amp, it’s a beast, definitely one of my favorites too!
Thanks man! Cool!
dang! so you get alot of diff tones with it. i always thought it was a metal amp. i might get one just because of your review. thanks and keep rockin!
Yeah it’s kinda like a Swiss Army knife of amps. The third channel is for heavier tones and the other two does anything else and the second channel does heavier tones too 💪. And the third channel actually does lots of things too when you back up the gain 😎.
One of my favorite toobers, 80'metal tube
Glad to hear thanks!
Euge!!! the sheer joy you showed during this video was priceless!!! welcome to the boogie family...i'm going to keep bugging to try a Mark IV if you can, for the lead channel alone!!! cheers brother!!!
Thanks man! Someday my friend someday 😎
just found your review of this MarkV, I think it's the best, most in-depth one I've seen. Thanks Euge!
Thanks man!
Where have you been all my life. Love the content and started watching all your videos like a lecturer researching a library, I'm slowly getting it through it all. SUBSCRIBED!!!!!
INCREDIBLE
Cool man! Thanks!
Excellent review my friend. I just bought a Mark 5 this week. Still trying to figure out all the bells and whistles. Must say you give the best review I've seen of what this amp can actually do. Thank you.
Thanks man! Glad to hear!
You’re spot on about the clean channel having that “piano” like sound to it. John Petrucci has said many times that’s one of the reasons he loves the Mark V so much, because of that piano like clean channel!
That clean channel is great for arpeggiated lines! Alex Lifeson of Rush use to use the Mark V live, for his clean tone only.
Ah so I’m not the only one! Cool!
Great demo !! I’m a metal fan.
Them clean tones tho ! are an amazing experience, and massive inspiration .
I can add some important info here. The kind of sounds heard here need a traditional style cabinet if you're going to use a cab. In my experience playing this amp for an hour, you need a Mesa traditional cab with specs closer to a Marshall 1960 cab to get the mids to ring like they do here. I was able to get a lot of great sounds from one of these amps, but not at first because I was playing it through a regular deep back rectifier cabinet that is better for scooped mids style metal. . Once I switched to the traditional cab (that I think was also called a rectifier cab), the amp sounded great. In my experience THAT is what you need if you want to get the types of sounds that you hear in this video from an actual 4 x 12 speaker cab.
Great review! Congratulations on adding the Mark V to your collection! No doubt, it's one of the best all-round amps. I have the black version, but that gray looks unique! Good purchase.
Thanks man!
Yeah I guess it’s some kind of unique / limited version 😎👌.
Dude I love your playing, and your tone/mix/production is on point.
Thanks! Really glad to hear!
I just got the MK 5 head…again! Partly thanks to this video Euge. I had one 9 years ago but didn’t spend enough time with the manual. But this time I did and along with this review I was able to get all the tones I needed straight away. Gigged it after just 2 days and it was awesome! Highly recommend this Boogie for guitarists that like more than one basic sound. A classic amp for sure.
Cool man! 🙏👌
Beast tone . Loving that sound. Gonna get me one of them bad boys one of these days.
🤟💪
awesome job my man...then again you make everything sound amazing. my favorite channel 2 is Mark I -> thick with bass down gain and treble up. single note heaven.
Thanks man! 👌🙏
I've always thought that it's hard to justify Mesa Boogie's price tag. But then again it's impossible to put a price on inspiration. Good for you man!
Me too before this but now I get it 👌😎.
Part of the price is made in the USA where their employees make a living wage, plus if you use Mesa brand tubes there's no need for bias adjustments. Paying a competent tech to bias your amp after a tube change can cost a good chunk of money.
@@MrJam1001 Yes made in USA is fine and dandy, but they are actually A LOT more expensive than most amps that are made in UK, Germany etc, so that‘s not really the reason alone for their high prices
@@nothingEvil101 Mesa Mark V 90 watt $2,549 Engl savage mark ll $3000.
Those are USA prices at Sweetwater. If you live in Europe I'd say the Mesa boogie probably cost more though. If the country you live in is adding huge import taxes that's not really Mesa's fault vice versa goes for Engl's in the USA I suppose.
00:02 I have no idea what you just said. But your videos are great. 😃 Super interesting walkthrough and your enthusiasm is palpable.
😁. Thanks!
What a great review! Loved your excitement!
Thanks! Glad to hear!
Really nice introduced and compared. I love This Mark V 🤘🤩🤘. Cant wait to get my one. Actually the Thirty Five. Also the Riff is amazing 🙂🤘
Thanks!
Not sure if anyone's mentioned this yet but try out hard bypassing the loop. It also bypasses the master volume for the whole amp so you'll have to set each volume to taste but in my opinion it sets this beast free. Really aggressive
Yeah I recorded the song in the beginning like that and I hard bypass amps’ loops always when recording 👌.
It does indeed 💪.
For my home studio i plan to have some great amps. I love amps. I love to play multiple amps together. I plan to try to find a Mark III, but after this demo, to have kind of a JTM45, kind of a plexi and kind of a JCM800, without exactly being it, i think i have to save money for a Mark V. Thanks, as always, for your great videos.
Likewise man! Strong recommendation 👌. Thanks!
@@EugeValovirta230V you’re welcome. Thanks to you.
I've got "just" a Mesa Quad and a Strategy 500. Every (rare) time I switch it on I spend hours just admiring all the tonal complexity that has. This video is very relatable because I can see you are in love with your amps. Very interesting comparison with the Marshalls!
🤟😎. Thanks!
Great review as always, brother! I used to have a Mk4 that I loved and a couple years ago a guy I was trading with put up his mk5 as part of the package. It is the only piece of that trade I have left! Lol! Absolutely love it....one of my favourite ever and I have owned and played pretty well all the top dogs. Best cleans I have ever used in a channel switching "big" amp, I use the crunch channel alot and like you say, I does an awesome jcm 800ish tone and then of course the 2c+ and mk4 modes are classic: tight, punchy and immediate. Add to that the simul-class, power scaling, rectifier options and it really is a swiss army knife amp that does everything well. Lifer amp for me (along with my Bogner 101b and Friedman be100) and I am glad it speaks to you! 🤘👍
Thanks man!
Awesome amp indeed 👌💪.
My cat loves it. Must be family ancestry sound.
That's awesome! 😎
The Mesa Mark series are probably the only amps that are a way different flavour than Marshalls and I like them as much. The are different but the same in all the things that matter and the only amps that are as much fun to play for me. I've never played the Mark V but loooove the Mark iii and Mark IV (both can do Lukather, Sykes and Metallica tones easy).
Indeed 👌.
