For me? 3 guitars so I'd have more platforms for pickups/strings/tunings. I have too many amps already, and I can work on guitars all day and amps never.
For you? The Mesa!

I adore my Mark IV, there is a great variety of sounds in there to keep me coming back and the tube swapping gives you a different palette too!
Some say the V is more versatile, but also more polite than the IV, with less teeth. I've never sat down for more than 5 minutes with the V at a store and that time, I didn't hear anything I couldn't do with my beloved Boogie.
Since you don't already have a high end tube amp, I say get the Mark V - and know that as your tonal tastes evolve over time, that amp can flex with you. 3x midrange guitars vs 1x excellent amp, no contest IMO and it will be way more satisfying

Had my first band practice yesterday evening, first time since Covid. We were at a different rehearsal space since our last one burned down apparently. Anyway, I plugged into a Dual Rec (apparently an early 90's Rev G) /Mesa 4x12 they had there . Man, what a glorious soundOriginally posted by Rex_Rocker View Post
Not that I'd say no to a Mark V, but Recto's are where it's at for me, such a distinctive tone."Less is less, more is more...how can less be more?" ~Yngwie J Malmsteen

Well I have a Mark V 35 -and its a great amp, that said it's not as good as my Fender Deluxe or Marshall with regards to distinct mojo -so I just dont use it as much, but it is about as versatile of an amp as you could ever own for sure.“For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts.” Yvonne ChouinardComment

Hear here! I love my 2ch Dual Rec. Whether blended or on it’s own, as loose or as tight as you like, it’s what you plug into when you want things to sound Big!Originally posted by Phantasmagoria View Post

Personally I'd most likely spend it on something else...but for in this case I think I'd get a mark V:35 and a guitar.Comment

Its true! The only better value in guitar amplification is the Hughes and Kettner TriAmp.Originally posted by NegativeEase View PostComment

The great news about the MK V is there's room for at least 20 more knobs ...Comment

Soo... apparently there will be a Mark VII announcement soon, perhaps tomorrow.
There was a leak about a new midi switching Mark, and someone said 3700 price tag. That sounds like an amp that would last me a lifetime. Might could drop 3500 on something like that.
Its always a good idea to kick the can down the road on discretionary purchases.Comment

Very cool! While it is still more amp than I need, I am happy they continue to develop the idea. I am happy with my simple 1 channel 5-knob Mesa.Originally posted by Top-L View PostAdministrator of the SDUGFComment

Gibson owns Mesa now so you can plan on a $3500 amp of theirs going for $7K.Originally posted by Top-L View PostComment
