I have the Rev A series (the first) and to call it touch sensitive is an understatement. The cleans on the Mark are angelic and immaculate. I find the TC can be a bit boxy/honky sounding even with the mids pulled back. I added a boogie EQ pedal to the TC and it helps to liven up the sound overall. I actually prefer my Mark but for strait up grind the TC is hard to beat. I would recommend a mark over a rectifier if you're looking to expand your palette. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Guess another factor is that I’m a pedal nut and maybe I just really need a Mesa Recto to do the punchy brutality thing to perfection, but rely on a clean amp (my classic reverb sig) for all my pedals, leaving no need for a Mark. Nice problem to have…or it would be if anywhere sold them :(

I just played the Mark VII today at guitar center for a couple of hours. Nice amp. Great cleans. Great high gain and lead. It was surprising how quickly the sounds went from clean to high gain without the in between overdriven saturation harmonics I am used to from my Mark V35 and Mark IV. I enjoy using my Mark V35 to cop guitar sounds from records without needing to use distortion/overdrive pedals. The Mark VII seemed less flexible for that. I went ahead and ordered a used Mark V 90 watt head today instead because it felt like a good time to do that. I hope I like it a lot. The only thing I have not liked about my Mark V35 is having to manually toggle the switch to go from clean to crunch. I use both of these modes frequently so three channels will be great.

After owning one for about 9 months, and a Mark V before that, I have some thoughts. The only thing I really miss from the Mark V is Extreme mode, which to me was a perfect modern version of the classic Mark sound. Everything else they cut out is not missed. There were a bunch of tweaks that were nice to have, but ultimately not needed. Including the rectifier tube. The Mark V was overkill in many ways. The Mark VII is a simpler, purer amp, more like the IIC+, which is to say, at its core, a modified high gain Fender with Tube Screamers built in to every channel. The IIB mode is good. The Mark VII mode is tough to find a use for, for me. I would have rather had two copies of Channel 3, with Crunch on Channel 1, and Mark V Extreme instead of Mark IIB on Channel 3. So it’s the pure thing you’re looking for in a Mark series amp, and then it adds modern benefits on top. It’s smaller and lighter than the Mark V, and has all of the DI/IR features you need for silent recording, practicing, or going direct live into a PA. The only thing that would make it more complete would be to add more effects, like chorus and delay. At that point, the only reason to want a modeler would be size. This was, for the most part, very smart design by Mesa, right down the middle of what the market needs. I personally would have done the few things I mentioned above, but I’m happy with it. There are fewer tones than the Mark V, but they almost all sound better. The IIC+ mode is indistinguishable from the old ones. The cleans are amazing, and sound like an HD Fender, much more so than the Mark V, which sounds more “processed” due to all of its circuits. A very solid entry into the series.

I've been repairing amps for a fifteen years, and instituted a "No Boogie" policy not long afterwards, it's not worth the headache trying to hunt down issues to diagnose problems. Looking at the front and back of this amp I don't see that changing anytime soon, but it's nice to see things getting a bit more simplified, if not simple.

I know you've done livestreams of you jamming Dragged Under songs, but you really should make some lesson videos where you break down certain songs. I'd love to see you break down The Hardest Drug, in particular.

got to play a Badlander at volume a couple weeks ago and really want one, but now maybe I want this instead!

Would there be any reason to get a V over the VII? And if so, which version? Also, if getting a JP2C, would there be a lot of overlap between it and the VII (or V)?

@The Even Order I tend to agree with you....the only thing that would possibly make me curious would be if the Crunch, IIC, and IV modes on this amp are improved over the Mark V version of those same modes. I don't see ANY reference to that fact in the official Mesa write-up or in the influencers demos so I would have to assume they are the same and carried over (I am sure if it was possible to squeeze another selling point of the VII they would make a big deal about having updated the modes). the VII, of course, has different branded transformers (not sure if the spec is the same as the V, though) so I guess that could make some difference in tone and feel. Either way, this seems like a slightly modified version of the Mark V - some swapped modes and some added midi functionality. To say this is SUCH a transformative model that they skipped Mark VI labeling is a joke, though! lol

The first thing i noticed was the clarity at high gain on the play through. Impressive, a lot of Mesa Boogies can get muddy ( with or without a OD ). Very cool amp. Would love to see a comparison video between this amps 2C+ and 4C+ modes against the real amps.

Many amps sound better with EQ pedals in the front and effects loop. Literally the most cost-effective way to improve tone.

After 10 years only playing through amp sims I think I'm finally ready to get a tube amp and play the real thing. Will I be happy with a Mark VII? Is this the kind of amp that only sounds good if volume is loud?

No, but they sound their best loud.

If you use a reactive load box like the Fryette Amplification Power Load IR then you can play the amp at full power in a home setup - the reactive load box will then output a quieter signal to you studio monitors with our without an cab impulse response or DI into you DAW. Gets all the sound of your tubes without being loud in the room - independent volume control etc

Ok... After looking into a few articles and videos, I think my overall impression is that if I didn't already have a Mark IV, I would want this. For me, what it's making me realize is that I just wish my Mark IV wasn't 32 years old and unreliable to count on for live performances these days. Do I spend $4k for an updated replacement, especially considering I'm not even gigging at the moment? No, I don't think so. I think I'll just work on my ventilation in my rack rig to see if I can prevent the overheating issues I'm having, rather than retiring the IV in favor of the VII. The only thing I really *wish* I had is the low wattage setting so I can push the amp for an SRV blues type tone in the same amp as my metal tones.

You can send that Mark IV to Mesa and for under a grand make it like new again. That’s my plan anyway

You can literally put the mark iv in Class A Triode mode to bump the wattage down to around 25 watts. It’s flipping two rockers instead of flicking one switch. Same effect though, I imagine…

Sounds awesome dude!!! Is this way too loud to play clubs now that they took away the master volume? That would suck.
