Review of the Mark V:25

[Bruce Weldy]

I bought the Mark V:25 soon after it was released (got the first one that hit my supplier). Been using it regularly for over a year and a half now. The majority has been with my Rock/Blues band doing originals and a lot of Allman Brothers, Larry McCray, Robben Ford type music. Always run direct to the PA with no cab. The sound is amazing. After hearing mine, the other guitar player in the band went out and bought one too.

We constantly get comments about how great our guitars sound - he's dirtier, I'm cleaner. Guitar players are always coming up to the stage looking for our amps......all there are is the heads.....they look confused.

I've also used it for a handful of gigs with a cab - both a 1x12 and a 2x10. Excellent results - even playing country.

I love the small size and the light weight (I've had several Boogies over the years....and all just got too damned heavy).....this one is just right. It's the best all around amp that I've ever owned....and at my age, might be my last one.

So I take it you are just going straight cab clone!

Yep, straight out of the XLR.

That is great, I have only had the mark v 25 for a couple months and I like it more every time I play it. For example, I didn't think it would pull off early Van Halen tone, I have Wampler plexi pedal, but I was able to find a better version on crunch. Great amp.

Its been about a year and a half for me and I still enjoy it very much.

I Like cab clone. Don't love it. I think it does a good job though. That said I use it every week.

And the V25 gets turned on almost every day. Typically at least 5 days a week.
