Same here. The Mark IV is the sound I have in my head because of Chevelle being my #1 band since the first time I heard the debut of Vitamin R on the radio. That said, after many years of using the IV model in the Axe Fx then a Mark V and IIC+, I found an even happier place with Wizard amps, the Hybrid in particular. But I have an absolute need for a IV for so many unnecessary but unavoidable reasons haha.

Jeff. I have a Mark IV rack mount purchased new in 1992 serial #5027 revision A. Last summer I bought 3 Mark III combo amps. 2 blue stripes and 1 red stripe that was later modified by Mesa Boogie to have the + option. I found a Mark IV combo amp on ebay from Japan. I didn't know it was wired from the factory for 110 volts. It should be 117 volts for my location. I plugged it in and fried it. That amp still had the factory tags with people's initials as it moved through stages of production. It was repaired and rewired for 117 volts. Serial #2051. That thing is clean and barely used. It sounds better than all the other amps I mentioned. As soon as I hit that first chord and could feel it, I just knew it was the Mark IV I wanted 30 years ago. 😊 A Boss EQ pedal through the effects loop enhances the feel, but it's very special to know the amp has that already.

I use a Mark V amp mostly in Mark IV mode. Best amp ever made. The texture of the gain and the tightness of the low-end is unrivaled. The clean is most pristine of all tube amps but with still some warmth. Only for classic hard rock crunch do I switch to a Marshall.
@hanashlo4956 2 жыл бұрын
They really are a classic tone. I have a Mesa Mark V 25 watt that I use different pedals and processors with. Awesome amp. But I honestly haven't been playing it much lately and been playing my FM3 all the time thru my studio monitors and another very clean combo amp for practice and writing. Thoughts have been coming into mind too of selling it to turn it over and make room for other gear as space for me is limited. And I've been spending too much on new gear lately.

I had a .22 many years ago, but lacking the skills to really get the most out of it, I sold it during a late-90's gear purge. I sometimes wish I'd kept it, although I see they aren't terribly expensive to buy today. I've never really had much want for any of the Mark series amps, but I can see the allure. Maybe once I can get my current collection better set-up so I can play them easily, I'll start thinking about other amps to add to my collection.

I had loved the tones from bands like Night Ranger, Metallica, Anthrax, Whitesnake, and Suicidal Tendencies to name a few. I had to get a Boogie! And by '89, I was the proud owner of a loaded MKIII with matching halfback 4x12!

It's crazy how so many people see the Mark Series as metal amps, when the first guitarist that actually piqued my interest for these amps was Prince. The MK1 was used on Purple Rain's rhythm, and he used a MK2 and MK3 throughout the 80s. These are clearly very versatile amps, and I'm kicking myself for not looking into them sooner. I understand why I haven't though, I never had an interest in thrash or that sound of metal lmao

Great video, I just dont feel Marks and Im happy with my Single Recto, every other guy will tell you the opposite but for me its too compressed.

My question is: why are there so many more options on the Mark IV than there are on the Mark V?

Designed in different eras with different goals in mind I guess.

Man, that first tone is not something I would have associated with a mark series amp. It sounded great nonetheless.

Your "master" settings are very violent!! probably that the whole neighborhood is now deaf!! Seriously, this settings at a very high master level are impossible to reproduce directly from a real cabinet? The Mark IV is my favorite mesa that I had and one of my favorite amp, very good sound and fabulous playing Leon!

I have the luxury of a cab room here so I can set the master to "face melting" and get away with it.

Sweet, picking one up for 300$ tomorrow. Looking forward to infinite tweaking. This amp nearly has more features than the axe fx III
