Mesa Boogie Mark 5 Twenty-Five demo – Tones For Tache Day 22

Mesa Boogie’s all-new Mark 5 Twenty-Five is a feature-packed amp, cramming a huge number of sounds and textures into a highly portable package. It’s being reviewed in issue 389 of Guitarist, so Mick has snaffled it for a Tones For Tache preview.

The list of features in this amp is immense – we recommend to you head to Boogie’s website to find out more about it. Switchable power levels, two channels, six modes, graphic EQ, CabClone direct out and more.

In this video Mick switches through the channels and modes – all using the full, 25-watt power setting and the amp’s internal spring reverb – with three different guitars. Fender American Vintage ’62 Stratocaster; Gibson Derek Trucks SG and PRS DGT model.
All guitars are plugged directly into the amp with no pedals or other tone modifiers.

This demo is really just the tip of the Mark 5 Twenty-Five’s iceberg as we barely touched the EQ and power features… there’s so much in this amp!

The cleans alone with that Beautiful, great winner in this head.

I have a Mark V and it's my pride and joy. I love boogies because it's really hard to find an amp with equally amazing clean and dirty channels. It's usually one or the other.

Anything that sounds this good on a YouTube video must be absolutely brilliant in person. Great demo!

[georgesabitpol]

I think this is one of the most versatile tube Amp out there. Can't think of others that do clean, crunch, fat, modern gain all in one package. Blew me away completely when I tried it.

Just bought the 5.25 last week and this video demonstration really persuaded this decision... superb!!!!

Towards the end of the vid, when the PRS was on demo mode already, i think the tubes were already on fire 🔥 Damn this thing is a beast!! 🤘🏼👍🏻

All right, glad you guy's did a video on this amp too.
I sure am loving my Mark Five 25.

best review of this amp i ve seen (except maybe the one with Andy Timmons at mesa warehouse!) Thanks Mick

I’m getting this amp on Monday. And I cannot wait. Never thought I’d get a chance to be part of the Boogie fold again after I stupidly got rid of my Dual Rectifier. But if this amp was available back in the 2000’s I would have totally gotten it. I never needed 100 watts of power for the venues I play in.

And man those sounds with the SG were just absolutely killer. I cannot wait to plug in my SG and rock it out like Mick.

[FabrizioPeretti]

it has all the breath of a 100w amp.. incredible...

I use mine with a 19 inches Lonestar 1x12 open back and Mesa thiele cabs.It is so portable and sounds immense.The fun factor is high.All authentic sounds from vintage to modern.

Always in search of a great clean and distorted sound within the same amp and I think I finally found it!

[waxdartproductions]

The thing sounds insanely good. Thanks for mic'ing it properly too.

[jeremiahwilson]

thTs one bad ass amp. wow. it does everything.

[nickouellette]

That strat is the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen.

[toxicgraphix]

Always loved boogie amps, too bad I'll never be able to afford one. This one sounds killer, but it's not all in the amp. This dudes got some killer chops, and so clean, perfect timing, no missed notes or finger buzzzes.

After watching the Petrucci lounge demo, the Anderton demo, this was nice! Ordered mine today! Been using a Triaxis / Stereo 2:90 with a couple of MB 1x12s, so I am looking forward to a lighter weight option! Thanks again for a well recorded, all playing, demo that really shows the amps strengths. Very much appreciated!

People should keep in mind that "practice" and "dedication" play a big role in the sound you hear coming out of this amp.Sure the Boogie is a great sounding amp but again, being in "the right hands" makes a big difference. I don't want to discourage you but as a player for over 40 years, I'm saying that the more you put into it, the more you'll get out of it. I suggest before you spend a fortune on a boutique amp in the hopes it will make you sound like you dream of sounding, you instead invest in a good acoustic guitar and get to work with a metronome. No effects, no super light strings.You need to build strength in those fingers and develop a good ear and sense of timing. Do it the right way and save the fancy stuff for later and you'll thank me!

HUGELY underrated amp! Absolutely awesome! Fantastic demo too!
