I play my Mesa MKV 25 and demo all of the modes & channels. I also shoot it out with my Mesa JP MKII c+. I also explain why I'm selling the MKV 25.

    The Mark series amps are amazing, but it does take some getting used to learning how to dial them in. They do not behave like other amps.
  • @satchrules101
    sick riffs bro! I learn a lot from your experience.
  • @masterofreality230
    Yea, if I had a JP2C I would probably sell it also. I have had my 25 for about 4 years now, snagged it for $900 and I love it. Only amp I need as just a bedroom rocker.
  • @timothymartin2137
    Heard they sound amazing in a package that plays well in your bedroom!! And has flavors the JP2C doesnt
  • I was wondering the same thing last week upon getting one in trade. I was sure something was wrong with it or it had a bad tube. I think I’m gonna keep it after getting used to the EQ and the way it works. Very different than any dial in on any previous amps that’s for sure.
  • @SociopatheAssume
    Since I've never played small version boogies, I have always wondered when they design, let's say the clean channel : do they go for the route "let's make our best efforts to try to make it sound like like the 6L6s version but with EL84s", or do they go "let's make it go full EL84's version of the big brother" ? Any users feedback from mini rec/mark compared to the big boys welcome !
  • @davej8045
    I went from having one amplifier on my wish list to three, my girlfriend will be thrilled since she wants a new kitchen…Thanks for the insight on the EBMM (7), got mine ordered last week from the vault after getting a mint one through Reverb that unfortunately arrived looking like it had a rough trip.
  • @fluxxliveband
    You make the Mark V 25 sound amazing! But it is a bit redundant, when you already have the JP-2C. Sell the Mark V, and further your Gear Journey!! Great video!!
  • @realtruenorth
    Would it make a good preamp going into a 100 watt head?
  • @KaddysJamKave
    Hey man, curious... When youre testing amps out are you going through IRs and listening through studio speakers as opposed to a guitar cab? Cheers.
  • Very good video. I used to own a couple of them and I get rid of them and completely regret it. I have a 5150 iii 50w 6L6 head now. If it were you would trade the 5150 iii 50w head to get a Mark V:25 head?
  • @timothymartin2137
    I have been having a love hate thing with my Mark V 90 watt...more hate...then I put an MXR 6 band EQ in the loop and did some minor targeted tweaking in the 100hz (add) 200hz (add) and 400hz (subtract) range and gotta say..HEAVEN!!!!!! The deficiencies in mine are gone with this particular tweak (and frankly I usually hate the MXR...think it is targeted wrong for most applications but this is EXACTLY what this amp needs!!!!) Give it a shot!!
  • @aaron9142
    Give me your JP-2C. I'll even let you keep the MV25. Ha. Great tones and chops, sir!
  • @williamscolaro1159
    I’ve had this amp for a while. I like it but definitely am alwaysss tweaking. Rather than the question you posed at the beginning, I have a different question: if I own the 5:25, is it worth the money to upgrade to a Vii or JP2C? Given the current market.. it seems like not.
  • @voxpathfinder15r
    I would get the 25 watts version, only because I have no use for 100 watts of tube madness. Heck, 25 watts is still way too loud for my practice room!
  • @PMJmetal
    I had both amps as well, sold the 25. The JP-2C does everything I needed with the 25 and more.
  • @martinhensley2377
    Sell it, I got 2 more amps you might check out Barton High Voltage transmission amp and Republic X amp. Congrads on the Sweet Water deal, way to go bro.
  • @JBizzle822
    What is the difference between the regular mkV and the mkV 25/35?
  • @johnnyromero3336
    Sell it, Free up the cash and get some new Gear! The JP has you covered! 🤘
