Every gear demo with Andy Timmons turns into a lick-stealing session for me... he's so darn good. Anybody else wish there was a tab to all his gear demos? lol

It is just so much fun watching these two guys drawing inspiration and lots of positive energy from each other... Doug West being the "proud father" kind of guy here watching his brain-child being taken to good (best) use by an equally excited player... Gotta love Andy Timmons! Thanks Doug and Andy!

I got a mark v 35 because of this video and I keep watch it I've used the same dial settings that are shown and it sounds AWESOME. Do more demos with Andy!!! Definitely the best overview you guys have done

Andy's phrasing is just so him no matter what amp he plays...amazing..

Just sounds incredible in all modes. Mesa hit a home run with this one.

I'm always like "Mesas are overrated, they're not THAT good." And then I watch videos like this and I'm like... THEY ARE THAT GOOD. And Andy's playing is just spectacular. He can highlight every nuance of this amp, that guitar, and their reaction together, seamlessly. And Doug, man, it's obvious how you can have such a phenomenal product when you have people that obviously LOVE what they do as much as he does. Mesa Boogie has thrived for so many years and throughout so many different styles of music not only because they sound great, but also because they're a company that is always listening to their customers and finding new ways to improve. Again, killer amp guys, and couldn't have made a better video to showcase it. I guess I'm sold on Mesa, after all!

Wow. Just to echo the other comments, this is one of the best demos of an amp I've seen in a long time. Fantastic playing and fantastic tone! I wish I could afford one haha! Maybe one day!

Love Andys noodling on the clean sounds. Could listen to it for hours.

MESA/Boogie I *LOVED* this video. Its very cool for a format, to see a "top shelf" Boogie Man giving a gear tour to an artist. I really enjoy this a ton. This is the best amp I have ever had in my life. The original video for this amp made me buy it right then and there. It is the best all around amp I have ever had. I just can't express that enough. I also loved it so much I told my buddy about it and he played it and sold his Bogner Uberschall in favor of the Mark Five: 25. I have put my other amps away. No need as they are heavier to carry, too loud, less versatile, and don't sound as good. I can have a Mesa 2X12 at my rehearsal space for practice and a Mesa 1X12 at home for playing and it has served me well. Thank you MESA/Boogie for making the best amp ever. Period.

I bought this amp after watching this video my mind was made, best amp Ive ever owned, 2 years gigging every weekend and going strong still sounds amazing.

Thank you Mesa Boogie, and all the engineers that and this possible. 20+ years of playing guitar, finally I have an amp that is wonderful even at low volumes. Love my Mark Five 25!

@@WS-bk7uu I can get great bedroom tones out of my Mark III in the 85 watt mode, so I imagine getting good bedroom tones out of the Five 25 is easily doable. I have heard that the master volume on the 25 is much touchier than the 35, though. As in, the amp volume may jump drastically going from like 1 to 1.5… the 35’s MV supposedly has a much more gradual increase in volume as opposed to a sudden jump. Both models have a headphone out, so you can still crank it and not disturb your neighbors. Opinions differ on the sound quality of the headphone out, but It’s a great option to have.

In all seriousness, this is the best amp demo I have ever seen, and that's a big part of what I watch on KZread. As a pro photo and video shooter, I can appreciate all those aspects as well. (even the truck noise at about the 4 minute mark of this video.. lol. I SO feel your pain, there). I have owned a rectoverb 50 and 2 Lonestars and a Cab Clone and Mesa has always answered any and all questions without hesitation and has some actual advice as well. I just sold the Lonestar and waiting on payment from a client and will be picking one of these amps up. I live about 75 miles from The Guitar Sanctuary, and have been to see Andy and the Mesa folks when they were there a while back. What a group of down to earth, customer-centered people. That truly goes for Mesa/Boogie, The Guitar Sanctuary and Andy. Some of the most approachable and helpful people I have ever dealt with.

The dynamic of this amp is insane. Wunderfull tone, thanks a lot for demo this

It certainly has exceeded my expectations. I tried a Hughes and Kettner Tubemeister, but sent it back to Sweetwater because I didn't like it at all..I ordered the Mark V 25 to replace it and so far it covers every tone I could ever possibly want. For those that doubt the volume of a 25 watt head - this thing is a MONSTER on my 4x12 cabinet.

Just a great video. I've owned some Boogies in the past (Quad preamp and Fifty/Fifty, and a DC3), and when my situation settles down (world traveling light at the moment), this amp is on the top of my "necessity" list now. Thanks for the thorough run through.

I just aquired one of these, and it is AWESOME!!!! I''ve heard some of these guys on u-tube claim this head to be a practice or bed room volume-style amp, and they can't be further from the truth! Don't let the size of this head fool you. I've played some venues, that you wouldn't believe headroom and different tone you can get out of this amp, without loss of clarity, tone and volume! Please, for the bedroom player to the gigging musician, give this a spin! And once you check out the price point of one of these, you'll be blown away! I've been a Boogie player for years, and I need not argue with anyone about Mesa- Boogie's validity in any way, shape or form, just go to your nearest Mesa dealer. I promise, you'll be blown away!!!

What i like more (obviously the sounds that you get in every mode you dial in are marvellous...but not a surprise coming from the mesa camp though) about this video and the other one with John Petrucci is the way that Doug West knows every single corner of the little box (seems like he knows a bit about music too lol), looks so proud of the work done and is happy with what comes out of the amp. The giant musician that Andy Timmons is also helps a lot....probably the best person to have testing your amp (again along with petrucci) tone and expression wise. Made my day. Thanks!
