review MESA ENGINEERING MARK FIVE: 35 HEAD & COMBO VIDEO DEMO http://bit.ly/guitaristextra 1 2 3 4 The Rivals PRS’s Archon range has turned a corner for the guitar builder, and captured a significant chunk of the modern rock market. The 100-watt head has two very toneful channels and retails for around £1,650. Hughes & Kettner’s GrandMeister 36 head sells for around £960 and has more features than almost any of its competitors, including full MIDI control over everything.
MESA ENGINEERING MARK FIVE: 35 HEAD & COMBO review 1. The 35’s two-channel control panel is simpler than the Mark V, but there’s still an impressive feature set, with six different voice settings, the assignable and footswitchable graphic EQ and separate output power options for both channels 2. There’s an enhanced version of the CabClone directto-desk output, with three speaker emulation choices 3. Both channels have a separate footswitchable solo control.

The CabClone also offers a ground lift and a speaker defeat, which leaves the headphones output active for silent recording 7. That famous EQ is footswitchable and can be preset to affect either or both channels 114 combined with a decent 2x12 or 4x12 adds even more level and spread. Verdict While the flagship Mark V is truly astounding, it’s a complex beast.
