Mesa Boogie Mark V 90 Watt 1x12" Combo - Private Reserve - Flame Maple

You Get Premium Tones - and Looks - from This Ultimate Boogie!
The Mark V is a journey through Mesa/Boogie's illustrious history,
and this one gives you gorgeous looks to match its startling array of
tonal possibilities. This Mark V 40th Anniversary Special Reserve houses
multiple circuits and sounds spanning the lifespan of the Mark series -
from the high-gain cascading pre amp of the Mark I all the way to the
amazing power and control of the Mark IV. You get an entire amp arsenal
of sounds, ranging from tweed-like tones to British crunch to blistering
trademark Boogie overdrive - all from a compact 1 x 12" combo. And,
you'll love the head-turning flame maple cabinet that houses this tone
machine. If you're looking for a pure tube amp with an amazing of
history and tone to match, then you've found it here!

The Mark V
is loaded with a slew of sonic possibilities. Channel 1 contains the
lowest gain sounds of the three channels and can be thought of as the
rhythm or clean channel. The other two channels contain modes that work
better for soft clip, medium crunch and high gain rhythm work. There is a
tight, skinny Clean (toggle up), a warm, rich Fat clean sound with
added lower fundamental (toggle center) and a higher gain pushed version
of this architecture found in Tweed (toggle down). A channel-global
Bold voicing switch adds punch and cut starting in the high mids to help
you stand out in a dense mix and give you an increase in headroom.

Channel
2 is the transitional channel between the low gain sounds of channel 1
and the high gain fury of channel 3. This channel contains the biggest
differences between modes. Low mids are added for a thicker, throatier
Crunch that travels up the gain scale while retaining a tight attack.
And finally, Mark I flips the architecture to arrive at the iconic high
gain voice that put Mesa on the map back in 1970 with the little Boogie
amp. This creamy voice is infused with thick bottom end and works great
for fattening up single note solo sounds. There is also a Normal/Thick
switch that affects the Mark I Mode only to add extra gain in the mids
for added single note focus.

The fun is only beginning! Channel 3
goes on from there to encompass the best of the Mark Series overdrive
sounds. Beginning with the MK II C+ (switch up) the sound is pure,
blistering focus; this is the classic Boogie voice of the '80s that
became the foundation for players like John Petrucci, James Hetfield,
Kirk Hammett, as well as a staple for L.A.'s first call session players
of the day (including Steve Lukather, Mike Landau, Dean Parks, and many
more).

The onboard 5-band graphic EQ has been an iconic trademark
of Mark series Boogies since they 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's tight, focused gain sound. 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, cabinets - and ultimately your ears - can handle. Each
channel is fitted with a mini-toggle to select the 5-band graphic EQ,
but the fun doesn't stop there. The Mark V gives you the choice of two
ways to utilize the power of the graphic EQ for each channel!

The
Mark V's Multi-Watt Power feature determines the amount (wattage) and
type (configuration) of power each preamp Channel will be coupled with
to create a classic sound. Any amplifier's sound is 50% preamp and 50%
power, so this switch is responsible for a large part of a given
Channel's personality and feel. The choices repeat for all 3 channels
and they are 90 W, 45, and 10 W. Using the switch is simple... just
select the power you want for each channel.

There's no denying
the sonic difference between Class A and Class A/B - but what if you
could have both? Since 1981 Simul-Class Power has been the heart and
soul of the Mark series amplifiers, imparting its sweet, musical
character onto any sound in the vast library of the now classic Mark
legacy. Cleans that shimmer with transparent layers of sweet delicate
highs, while the bottom end breathes a warm fundamental under a bed of
rich low mid ambience. The Simul lead tone is the quintessential
single-note solo sound.

The Mark V 40th Anniversary Private
Reserve combo's cooling fan is fitted with an on/off switch to allow
silent running in the studio or late night practicing in the lower
wattage settings. A Bias Select switch lets you to run EL34 power tubes
in place of the stock compliment of 6L6s. In fact, you can run EL34's in
just the outside pair or in all four power tube spots! That's an
amazing level of flexibility!
