General
After the success of previously released amplifiers including the Rectifier Twenty-Five, the Nomad and the Caliber, Mesa Boogie now introduces the latest addition to their mini series, the Mark Five Thirty-Five. They've kept the tradition going by fitting this amp with four EL-84 tubes, instead of only two like in the Mark Five Twenty-Five. In addition, there are a load of new features like an independent Solo function to boost the sound per channel, and a complete set of voicing options for the patented CabClone DI cabinet simulator and spring-talk tube reverb.
Switchable wattage with DynaWatt
One of the most remarkable features of the Mark Five Thirty-Five has to be Mesa's patented DynaWatt technology, which makes it possible to switch between 35, 25 and 10 watts. This ensures that saturation point is achieved sooner, which is why this amp is so ideal for small-sized gigs. Furthermore, the Thirty-Five is equipped with two channels with three modes each. Channel 21 offers Clean, Fat and Crunch while channel 2 makes your guitar sparkle with the addition of MKIIC+, MK IV and Xtreme modes. Each channel also has its own Solo boost function.
CabClone D.I.
Mesa Boogie has integrated a complete set of voicing options in the Mark Five Thirty-Five. This means that it has three cabinet-simulated voicing modes and allows for total stand-alone CabClone functionality, minus the output controls. You can choose between open back, closed back and vintage, each having its own characteristic sound. You'll also get a broad spectrum of responses when you plug directly into a mixing console or interface. So, whether you want to record directly, listen via the headphone input, or just practise some riffs, the Mark Five: 35 offers plenty of possibilities to deliver an excellent sound.
