Trs not useful to complete this box. The site of mesa is quite explicit, and provides more photos.

UTILIZATION

I possd a mark III, a Triax and a v-twin. Currently, I have a 30 F and Martk IV. The Mark V does not sound like any of them ... I mean he can do more. This is not thundering F for 30, but is a little more regarding his two little ERRF. I think it comes from the possibility of playing in 10 watt, with a configuration in pure class A, - that is, not to "push pull", but "single ended". Not need to rectifier (diode or lamp), which gives the sound a compltude sound that left me speechless in the channel clear. The reverb is divine, better than other amps of the brand that have had the chance to try. It is reminiscent of the Lone Star. The Mark V rvle a versatility that is the mark suprieure IV. Attention all the same: it contains some of lments that made her attractive younger trs. Indeed, the gain and potentiomtres prsence are not equipped with the "push", and I do not think the switch "bright" to give the Mark V as great versatile as the Mark IV on this point. In addition, the Mark V does not inter "harmonics / mid gain", which, on the Mark IV, to make the distortion much more sharp and fluid. While the Mark V, it makes up for the gain, prsence and the "bright". Aside from these few remarks, this amp is good trs. In addition, the possibility to bring the power of 10 watts, and because of the excellent re-enable the HP (C 90), we can play low volume while adjusting it to pass without of nothing but two cents of degree.

SOUNDS

Anything goes, except the "correct". The Mark V is a mark, and the line is perptue without being betrayed. It is even sublime. Ingniosit The Randall Smith serves the user, who will pay tribute to the founder of the brand of Petaluma. I wonder why it is about a price so low, taking into account all the possibilities it can offer. Each guitarist will find at least a sound that suits him. The clean sounds are really trsrussis. All filters that the design ingnieuse Mark V offers to allow the user to ring it as you like. As proof, I heard my guitar (neck-Splitt with SH 4 singles) ring for the first time as a stratovolcano, a branch in the canal by 10 watts. I think the setting for power is more important even than the indoor mode used for each channel. Thus, if one switches to 10 watt (pure class A single ended), we feel the life in the Mark V. .. this is a live musical exprience. Mode 2 is that which is by far the most tense. We go from crunch the most lightweight of distos both trs aggressive and sharp, but have ct "liquid" Reserved those of channel 3, even with the switch " eq "we can get closer engaged. J&#39;apprcie mode 3, switch on the &#39;Mark II C +. " The harmonics are waiting for you, but the accuracy of its unforgiving fault. It will give you what you put into it, then it must be expressive, otherwise feel lousy derrire his six-string ... Randall Smith does well to keep the function that the success of The series "Mark" qualiseur the graphic output. The latter, which mark the amlior t V (a "preset" and qualiseur five bands that can operate at the discretion of the user), can make sound trs edge when he is engaged or, if it dbray Confre the "grain mesa", fleshy in mediums. Combining this feature with the "solo" can play, live, in solos that vritables dgagent away from everything else. In other words, no need to mount a rack to ring without being embedded in the mass. This is quite apprciable, is not it? I emphasize all of this intrt qualiseur graphic output, which makes the feeling really DIFFERENT. It was just the feeling of playing with another amp. Channel 3 is the one closest to the sound that dploie the Triax. In particular, the sound of the Mark II C + is also well played by the Mark V as the famous prampli. There are all functions to draw the sound that makes all the pride of Randall Smith. And it is actually a return in the 80 is about. We now understand what rle can play the finesse of rglages and the development of harmonic ... J&#39;apprcie every moment with this amp, which fulfills all its promises. Satisfaction is always by appointment. Money does not buy happiness, but the Mark V to fill any of the same. That the owners of Triax forgive me, but I will allow an incursion into their domain. With the Mark V is discovering that his amp is carved lamps as the prampli by the power amp. From this point of view, I do not regret m&#39;tre spar of Triax.

OVERALL OPINION

2100 sold to US dollars, bought 2800 euros in France. With a euro is now $ 1.47, this gives regrets. This is my Manir to participate in the plan to revive the economy Franaise. I prfre all my other mesa. However, the Mark IV is not relgu the background, far from it.
After a few months in which I play an hour a day, I can say that, whatever my mood, there will always be a channel that will suit me. We must insist on the power of qualiseur graphic output, which can not be Reduces the clbrissime and caricature dsormais curve V. We can find combinations that can rev INTERESTED ringing channel 2 "crunch" (rput have the lowest distortion) as the Mark II C +, with better DEFINITIONS in serious because the saturation level is lower.
The way Mark II C + forgives nothing, and recalls the sound of Metallica in Justice. To give a musical sense, one must have wanted to play. It feels when the heart is not there.
For days without bread or EHJV, we can prfrer channel 3 Mark IV mode. This mode is more flattering and flowing than the Previous. This is the one we use to console the heartache.
In short, the Mark V is a watercolor sketch that will color the paper with the most suitable.
ATTENTION: it is better to change the seven lamps prampli and their prfrer of electro harmonix. That&#39;s what I did a little curiosities by this weekend, and the sound of the amp it is found more alive, more like Dfine. The clean sounds are even more wonderful. The way Mark II C + connate a new life, times brighter, sharper and pure of some mediums. And we feel that the amp is easier to play.
