I knew Ola would deliver. Finally the first demo that actually shows the VII 2nd channel mode in a high gain setting

[Mtal_matt]

Ola consistently has top 3 metal tones on youtube hands down

[LucaMolteni]

8:32 Evergrey’s “More than ever” Ola! Such a good riff

[hiflyerint]

I still have my Mark IIC I bought back in '83 and it still pulls killer tones..

[jmcsquared]

Ok that opening riff starting at 0:20 that is gorgeous.

[ThePreacherOfDeath]

Best demo so far. Id love to see you do a shootout between this, the jp2c and the original iic+. Obviously I know theres different features and what not but itd be cool to see your direct take on the sounds and feel

[mhsigrist]

"I'm only gonna play what's metal on this thing". That's why we are here and not in any other channel. Thanks for understanding your audience, Ola.

[ballenwallen]

I always have to pick up my guitar after your videos cause your riffage is always on point.

[Traski]

I like the VII mode, tbh. Modern, and not in that sterile kind of way.
It has a nice bite, enough bottom end to make it fat and clarity of notes - cuts through really well.

At least in the video it sounded good, can't say how it sounds like in the room.

[DanTheDiggler]

Imagine if Mesa did a simple affordable version with JUST the 2C+ mode and a 5-band eq, thats it!! We sure got the JP-2C but it could be more straight forward, and with just one channel.

Thanks Ola, good reviews as always!

[ThatIrishCowboy]

Ola has answered ToneWars call! Thank you Ola!

[frankthetank]

Hell yeah! 🤘 I've been trying get all my gear back from Florida since I moved back to Denver Colorado for the metal scene and I started my own Band BLACK CHURCH and seeing the stuff you do daily motivates me more to get better gear and heavier tones, thanks for all your hard work it makes me want to be a better guitar player and technician. 🤘🤘🤘

[joshuamoore]

He's only going to play whats important. Classic Ola 💯

[kevinainscough]

Hell this amp holds up compared to the newest models on the market! It was way ahead of its metal time man!

[edcintron]

According to a source at Mesa Engineering (on Youtube) stated that so much time had passed while working on the newest Mark Series amp to supersede the Mark V that they simply bypassed the Mark VI designation and moved on to designate it the Mark VII. Some day I will own one! Incredible beast!

[progpogs]

The proper metal demo sounds that they needed so badly, nice job. When I think of this amp, I just think of all those early 2010s prog bands with this sound; corelia, early scale the summit were using marks for a bit, all the heavier bands that were descendants from petrucci forum sorts of demographics that spawned from dream theater influences before the JP2C amp was created. Really want to hear the mark mkii mode boosted.

[TungstenOvergaard]

Love Ola’s reviews. 100% honest which is much much appreciated.

[kosmajahn]

I like how Ola shows up faster, you can see that he is so excited about this one

[madmatt_]

what a brilliant sound, Mesa is my favorite Amplifiers, since I fell in love with Lamb of god, so it is something like 15 years.

[pip]

"Clean, crunch, and lunch, maybe, I don't know." Classic Ola right there!
