hmmm… And what if you have 1024 speakers in a big *** 8 ohm cab. If just doubling speakers added 3 dB then this is 10 doublings or 30 dB louder. How could a 25 amp go from 100 dB to 130 dB just by adding speakers?? sorry for the rambling…maybe I’m off base here. In the video the ‘intensity’...

I’m pretty sure doubling the amp output wattage increases sound pressure by 3 dB (not just adding speakers). So, any 8 Ohm cab, regardless of 1, 2 or 4 speakers will put out the same sound volume for the same amp setting. And I’ve also read that perceived ‘twice as loud’ is about 10 dB (three...

From my experience with the V it tends to be "dryer" with some effects when they are in the FX loop. The best I could tell is the SEND level of the V is hotter than normal (the channel MASTER volume controls the level of the SEND, so it can get hot on channel 3 MASTER set to 10-11 o'clock with...

It's in the video description section when you view the video on YouTube.

Found this video which compares the IIc+ mode of the Mark V and VII. I’ve heard comparisons of the V to the JPC and found them to be pretty similar. In this V to VII comparison they seemed quite different…at least on the iPad speakers. :)

Yeah, as a Mark V owner I’m on the fence. Hoping to try a Mark VII out in the store in a day a two. The circuit simplicity might be a ‘very good thing’. While losing SOLO, MUTE, overall OUTPUT sucks, the benefits to tone might be worth it. I do think the V sounds a bit better with hard bypass...

I really wanna see an in depth shootout of the V against the VII. I many just have to get a VII to compare it directly myself…if it weren’t so dang much dinero! As far as the FX loop, as posted earlier in this thread, Mesa’s manual states in the VII EQ is after the FX return. The question was...

Yeah, I remember doing that ‘removal of the ferrite bead’ thing to try it out. It wws easily reversible so what the heck? At first I thought that it seemed to maybe have tamed some fizz in Channel 3. After a while I realized it really didn’t do anything. In the end I put a bead back on that...

Well, I found the answer here. Seems to be confirmed that the Mark V EQ is before the FX loop. https://boogieforum.com/threads/mark-v-where-is-located-the-graphic-eq.72465/#post-491016 Is there any technical reason why this would make a difference in tone? The Mark VII and reportedly the...

I should mention the 12AT7 in the V4 position only affects channel 3. If I recall correctly a 12AT7 in V6 position will affect both channels 2 and 3. Give them a try!

I can vouch for the JAN 12AT7 in the V4 position as making a difference. One loses a bit of drive but the amp sounds a bit sweeter.

It looks like the effects loop in the VII is after the preamp and right before the 5 Band EQ. Is the Mark V wired this way or is the effects loop after the 5 Band EQ? From the manual of the VII "The Effects Loop is basically a circuit bridge from the end of the preamp to just before the...

Hmmm no SOLO boost? No EQ PRESET blending? No Pentode/Triode or Diode/Tube options. Prolly no class A power either since 10W mode is gone. Edit: it does say 25W Triode Class A. Mark V is 10W Pentode class A. Love the CCIR on each channel. Not sure about the EQ O/FS option. I like having EQ...

Over at the Gear Page some guy who seems to be in the know is saying March 7th is the day of the big reveal. My wife will not be pleased since I just picked a Badlander a couple months ago..... but hey, a new Mark is a new Mark! I can't see myself parting with the V head either, I do use Tweed...

Same here. Is it on Instagram or Facebook or something? Seems kinda weird if you are hyping some new amp to not put the teasers out everywhere (emails, web site)

I saw that.. if true, what do they have against the VI? :unsure:

Thanks for posting y’all!

Wow. I just picked up a Badlander 25 combo and am still bonding with it. I should have waited to see what this new Mark is!! As said above ‘me loves me some Marks’. It would be awesome if even just a V+ were released. Something which adds the CCIR+, adds MIDI and leaves out things like the...

Mine behaves similarly. Mark I mode needs more output to match level of channel 3. I’m pretty sure I need to adjust the channel MASTER dials when there large changes in the ‘OUTPUT’ setting. In other words, the overall channel balance will change as the OUTPUT knob is turned.

What are the Mark V A and B exactly? I don’t remember seeing that there was an A and B version.
