Hey everybody!
I got a Boogie Mark V 35 recently.
I'm super happy with the purchase!
Prior to buying the amp I had slight doubts because people online would say that this amp doesn't have enough 'oomph' on the low-end.
I get where people are coming from but in my opinion it's just a matter of headroom.
Since I'll only be using the amp in my studio I figured it wouldn't be a problem and as it turns out, the low-end is PERFECT!!
This isn't my only EL84 amp, I also own a Peavey 6505MH and 6 of the smaller Orange amps and I love the tones I'm getting out of each amp.
Anyway, I'm mainly a rock player so I thought it would be fun to compare the gain channels on this amp.
In this video I compare all 4 distorted modes (crunch, IIC+, IV and Xtreme).
It's just a riff with my EMG equipped PRS Torero.
I'd love to know which one is your favorite!
I tweaked each mode so that they sound the best in this particular mix.
If you'd just set the controls the same when changing the modes the differences would be much bigger.
So that's something to keep in mind.
The Xtreme mode has a lot more low-end than the IIC+ mode for example and some modes have less gain than others.
Check out the comparison here:
Does anyone else here own a Mark V? (25, 35 or 90)
What do you think of the amp?
