This clip provides a great example of the signature Boogie clarity, sparkle and detail available from the Mark Five: 25’s FAT Clean mode. The FAT mode circuit in the Mark Five: 25 is taken directly from the original Mark V which was refined from the original Mark I and Lone Star clean sound circuits. In the 25 watt setting you’ll be amazed at the overall headroom, punch and authority you’ll get from such a compact package. Mesa’s patented EL-84 Dyna-Watt power section coupled with two 1x12s or 2x12s… (and yes, plenty of power for 4x12s too) … provides ample clean headroom for larger gigs. If you need more power, you’d probably be mic’ing and adding monitor reinforcement anyway. Check out the setting of the Master in this clip (1.5-2.0)… HINT: It was not quiet in the Video Lounge when we recorded this.

Sparkling clean is just one of the things the FAT mode delivers with typical Mesa brilliance. Pushing the Fat mode into distortion with higher gain settings reveals an amazing range of clipped, broken-up, overdriven and even vintage crunch sounds, depending on your instrument, pickups, tone control and wattage settings. The FAT mode is a whole amp in itself! Especially for fans of Mesa’s accurate and articulate clean sounds or the versatility within tone controls and other features that provide amazing gain possibilities as well.

Recorded with the Neck Position pickup of a Fender Telecaster through the FAT mode of Ch. 1 into two 1x12 Thiele cabs loaded with Celestion C90 speakers. Recorded with a Shure SM 57, Shure KSM 313 and the Mark Five:25 on-board CabClone. Mixed with varying levels of the mics and CabClone for each clip and mastered for optimized output.
