Mesa/Boogie Mark V In Depth Part 8 - Channel 3 EXTREME

The EXTREME mode is a very versatile preamp mode on the Mark V amplifier. It can go from brutal to sweet with the turn of a knob. It sounds more open, less compressed when compared to the Mark IV mode, yet it loses none if the urgency, focus, and tight articulation that have put the Mark series amps on the map.

Check out the other parts of this series exploring all of the preamp modes of the Mark V and for more information please see our website at: http://www.haggertysmusic.com/shop/mesa-boogie-mark-v-head.html

watched the whole little series you've done on the mark v, really great and very informative, I also enjoyed the guitar playing throughout now that's what I call string control!

[haggertysmusic]

@KRFTWRKMkII Thank you very much for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the videos!

Great and very informative video but, why do you need to scoop the mids so much? Electric guitar is a midrange instrument so why get rid of its most fundamental frequency? Just curious thats all not flaming or anything, It's just that it's not the 1980's anymore and metal players with half a brain don't 'excessively' scoop their mids :) cheers

[haggertysmusic]

@justenbeashel I appreciate the question. More mids or less mids will come down to each players preference. If you take a look at our other videos on channel three we did some clips with more midrange, even boosting the mids! :-O

Thanks Don for all the advice and all the great videos.....I checked out the Hot Rails pickup on the Seymour Duncan website and I think they might just work out for me.....jack

[haggertysmusic]

@Jackfurry1 Your welcome. I think you're on the right track modding the guitar you already have. Let me know how you like the hot rails.

Hey, man, thanks for uploading these videos, really helpful! I know it's off topic but I have to ask this: I'm an amateur guitarist and I have a Schecter C-1 Hellraiser FR with EMG pickups, so I was thinking of changing the pickups with Dimarzio Liquifire and Crunch Lab and picking a decent budget amp that costs 500-600 euro (about 600-750 dollars). Would you suggest an amp that would bring a decent sound with any of the pickups I mentioned? I want to play Dream Theater stuff mainly... Thanks!

[stoofbuis]

this really is the most versatile amp i ever heard,......and i play a VH-4 Diezel

[dawhit10]

Thanks for all your videos Don, I wish I could have bought my mark V from you guys and supported all your hard work....plus the sit down instructional's (sp) would have been cool too. Watched 'em all and they are really helpful with the setting screen on the bottom of the videos....this is a somewhat difficult amp to dial in and the owners manuel is like reading a college essay.

extreme mode is where it is at on this amp !



[nikos458]

probably one of the best demo videos around youtube.

lets not forget the skill of the player also.

[ValverdeLeov]

Thanks for sharing these videos with us... REALLY informative stuff! I watched all of them and now I feel I know everything I wanted to know about the amp! Thanks again! defeneatly one of the most extensive a useful reviews of an amp I've seen on the web.

[vaibhavnayel]

loved the john petrucci references!

[YashKirkDaveFan]

I watched all the videos, and enjoyed, It was really great and informative.

Could you please do an in depth review of the dual rectifier roadster, and maybe a comparison between the roadster and a rectifier

[mariahannes1]

[Erock09291]

It's nice to find demos with a guitar player that actually knows how to play! thanks!!!!
