I've been waiting for this for a while now. It looks to include all the best features of all the best Marks over the years and then some. I can't wait to buy one as this WILL be my next purchase.

I saw this, I'm curious as to whether the newer models come anywhere close to the older Marks. I've heard nothing but praise about Mark I's and II's, and occasionally III's, but I don't think I've even heard a mention of the Mark IV. I wonder if the V will have the same fate? Sounds great from the description, though, that's for sure!

My dream amp as of now is the Mesa Boogie Lonestar, I haven't had the chance to try one out yet, but everything I've heard about it sounds like just what I'm looking for - not to mention the whole Timmons attachment. I have to admit, I'm a sucker for name-dropping.

Would be cool to get an extensive Mesa review from you Marcus. Maybe some hints on how you dial your tones etc.

I talked to my guy at Mesa Boogie yesterday and found out that the Mark V will only be available in Europe in March so I will have to be patient... but I already asked for one so I can test it, so review should be possible

Saw the pricetag today, sells at 33k SEK for the head. It's hard to keep up with the pace of the dollar incement these days but that's about 3750 USD for us poor Swedes.

Marcus, it would be awesome to see a review from you!

i never see any praise for the Mark I....if you search youtube you will not find a single video of the Mark I


i however swear by it! it is the smoothest sounding amp....you can even play metal with it (just not death metal )

Can't wait to try this!
