Hi, Mick from Guitarist here and welcome to our demo of the Mesa Boogie Mark Five amplifier,
as Boogie fans will know, this amp has been a long time coming and is essentially a culmination
of everything the Californian company has learnt since its first high power combos of
the 1970's.

The mark five is based a round a three channel design, laid out logically with three identical
sets of controls. Each chanel then has three modes, to give a total of 9 distinct
voices that range from hi-head room, sparkling cleans through to full on scooped hi-gain
metal. So let's start in channel 1 and have a quick example of each of the modes. First
is the clean mode.

Now the fat mode.
[music]
And now the tweed mode.
[music]
Now let's do the same with channel two's 3 modes. First is edge.
[music]
Now the crunch mode.
[music]
And now Mark 1 mode which is a recreation of Mesa's legendary first mark series amplifier.
[music]
And now let's do the same thing again with channel 3. First we have Mark 2 C+ mode.
[music]
Now mark 4 mode.
[music]
And finally extreme mode.
[music]
So acorss its 9 modes, the Mark Five is already covering a lot of ground. If it ended there,
it would be amongst one of the most versitile amps on the market. But there's more, much more.
