- Hello.
Because I was requested to share my settings, I am finally doing so.
Remember, for me it is a fun, not a serious business and pictures in the video were taken only for my personal purposes, so sorry for some mistakes in the descriptions.
Best review of this amp after Lambchopper!
No bs long ass introductions, no talking in between and over all the demo instead of playing..
Just straitght jamming fave songs!
oy vey Holy cow!
I haven’t expect such a reaction at all:))) Thank you very much for your straight words. I appreciate your opnion very much, becausenI am a absolute amateur. Just a mid age man with hobby :)✌🏻
just picked up a mark v so now i can cross this off my bucket list :)
btw "Of Wolf & Man" doesn't get enough credit. that's a super sick song that didn't seem to get popular even among Metallica fans.
Awesome!!! Already woeking through them and they're great. Much appreciated!
Jay Lawrence I am really happy if I could “help” to others at least little bit👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You’ve convinced me to buy this amp. Thank you man.
You are very very welcome:) Truth is, that is have no digital effect, but man, it sounds awesome in every possible settings.
Amazing video! Nailed to tone!
Sounds amazing!!
All the credits goes to Mesa :) Thank You✌🏻
Awesome tones!
Holy crap, great job
Crazy that you can roll off all of the treble and boost the mids and get that tone. I hadn’t even tried that. I am mostly messing with the gain and treble to get what I want and the EQ is always just scooped and I play with the 750 slider a little
Just love your tone man!!
ツThunderMiKe Thank you very much for your nice feedback. Really. I ma glad that I could spread my settings here and maybe “help” some other people in searching for the tone.😇✌🏻
Love your tone man and just going to buy this amp because of you :)
Gaston le bouledogue Holy smoke! Don’t put a responsibility for your decision on my shoulders;))) I am very honored, that I could provide also you with more “detailes” about the almost endless posibilities of this little beast amp. This was a very smal friction of the sound it have.
I bet that you will be very satisfied, especially when you will tweak how to reach best possible sound in your own records.
I love this amp to the bone and I hope that you will too✌🏻
thank you for posting this! got one of these ordered. also very sick you chose a song from the Beyond Magnetic EP. those songs are so underrated!
Thank you very much for your kind feedback. I am (or was) just a bedroom player, for my own joy. I hope that you are gonna be as happy with this amp as I am, despite the fact that it is a pure analog machine, without any memory or digital effects. Beyond Magnetic EP... It's not a bad music at all :)
Pickup? Guitar? Thank
Hey man, awesome video, definitely subbed. Just out of curiosity, did you ever dial in a tone for Enter Sandman? Was it possible? I just got this amp and have been having a lot of trouble dialing that in. A lot of people recommended some settings (mainly eliminating mids and booming the bass) but it sounded pretty horrible. Do you think your Wherever I May Roam settings would be a good start?
Thanks a ton man.
Hey! This was super awesome to listen to! I've been on the hunt for the ...And Justice For All tone for a while and yours were definitely spot on! I got curious though and loaded up your video into protools and slapped a couple Parametric EQs and gave it a good mid-scoop... Sounded exactly like it. SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!!
Holy crap! What to hell I just read? You are unbeliaveble! Iam glad that you have enjoyed my amateur playing. I really appreciate it, because I am more fan than guitarist. BuT what I really like is tolook for the sound, if I may explain it this way. And I am surprised that you have been able to manipulate this audio file, even with slightly muted original tracks behind my playing. I am pretty happy, that it went good at the result. If you will find it interresting, feel free to share the result on your channel:)
🤟🏻✌🏻🤟🏻
@@marcelkrchnak Sure thing! once I get my amp to sound the way I want it to and test it with the EQ I'll share the process. 🤘
Sounds great 👍
Jim71 Thank you very much for your kind feedback! And excuse my late reply.:( Life’s busy🙄
Amazing! Definitely going to buy this amp. How did you record the guitar playing btw? What recording equipment did u use?
THANK YOU
Thanks for the video, was thinking of switching to an Axe FX III from the Mark V, but these settings has helped me dial in a better tone.. I've spent countless hours tone hunting and can't stay satisfied with a single tone. For me, cutting the treble to 0 and compensating with gain helps a lot to get more clarity for individual notes. I get that clear Metallica percussion on single note chugging and tremolo picking. That "electric noise" you spoke of seems to have came from the treble being boosted. Very interesting amp to dial in, can't really follow the predecessors for a baseline. Anyway, thanks again, though I may still get the Axe FX for the ease of making presets for various distortions and cleans.
Awesome job!! Wonder if these settings will work with my Mesa Mark V head? Sounds great!
MysteryMusik Thank you very much for your positive feedback. In my oponion, they should work on your 100W head. Give it a try👍🏻
Thanks Marcel! Please make more!
Elvis Thank you too very much for your knd feedback. Once, when I will return to playing, I will remember your request ;)
Excellent mon pote 🤘🤘🤘🤘
wow impressive ! i play on a single rectifier and i have to say i am impresse !! good job PS : because of you i HAVE to buy a mark 25 :)
Same
You ' d kick my fucking ass dude!!!! Great sound!!!!! Beautyful tones...METALLICA RULZZZZ!!!!!!!! 🤘😎
Thank you very much for your interresting feedback😬🤟🏻🤟🏻
@@marcelkrchnak 😄😋
Hey amazing video, I switched from Duel to Mark V 35 and wondered if i would need to adjust in anyway for the 35?
Cool tone! What guitar and pickups on it ? are you using I think it is important part of how you tune the amp!
Awesome video,what guitar and pick ups were you using?
Probably hetsets in ESP guitars
Hey! awesome vid my friend ^^ Are you using any pedals? no overdrive or boost? thanks =D
Tom H Hello Tom. Thank you very much for your inspiring comment. My answer to your questions is No. All you hear is only amplifier with added reverb. Nothing more. I am so much satisfied with this amp, that any added effect had a not nice sound in the record. I know, there is probably problem between chair and computer, but as you can hear, this amp is very versatile:)
@3:35 I don’t think the picture is right because the treble is set at zero unless a distortion pedal was used.
I think he used the eq and not the knobs
Say please that amp can sound song metallica house that Jack build? Sorry I bad speak English
On some of your tones you run the presence knob at almost zero how do you get along getting the high end bite back in ? Are you running the amp very loud or do you compensate by pushing the 5 band eq for that specific range almost all the way ?
Hello.
First of all let me apologyze for my lte reply. I was crazy busy.
I do record using headphone output, which is connected into my "audio in". And it works, even with these setting and Master at very low level.
@@marcelkrchnak Dude, no worries I am very thankful you replied at all. Good info i love the sounds and would have never thought you got them recoring out of the "HEADPHONE OUT"! Awesome ! :)
I know this is 4 years old but by chance do you have a master of puppets setting you could enlighten me on please it's driving me insane and I know this amp can do it
Works great for the Black and AJFA album.
MAN... im Brasileiro ... so i have dual rectifier solo head and maybe chaged to mark V:25 to basic plays metallica covers ...i loved that video ....
Does trading a Dual rect for an MK V-25 pay off?
Hello Brasileiro.
Thank you very much for your comment and question. Let me try to reply.
My opinion is, that you should keep your rectifier! To get a better modularity, I would buy a Mesa Boogie (or other brand) band equalizer and plug it into serial effect loop of the Rectifier. You would be surprised how much this one will change your sound. You can tweak, try, play....
Give it a chance! :-)

What cab are you playing through?
Jason Varze Hello. Excuse my very late reply please. I simply did not noticed your comment. My bad :( When I play out loud, I use Mesa recto cab 1x12. These samples were recorded through the headphone output of the amplifier.
Sounds great! were you micing a cab?
Guillaume Duchesne Thank you;) No. Amp head is connected to my old mac via it’s own headphone output in a 3,5 mm audio in. And that’s it.
That’s insane. No post process or cab sim?
Will a 25 watt or 35 watt Mesa/Boogie amp head work with a 100 watt Marshall cab??
Hello. As far as my knowledge allows me to reply, I believe, yes. I have seen this 25W conencted to a 4x12 Mesa cab and it played like hell (in a best possible way)!
What guitar and pickups are you using in this video?
maczepa Hello. This video consist only from a photos of amp settings and a real sound produced at the time. I used 3 different guitars here, but don’t ask me please which one at which song. Guitars used: GrassRoots MX-250 with EMG 81/60, LTD Snakebyte with Hetset and ESP Truckster with Hetset again.
@@marcelkrchnak You did quite well. I think the Hardwired tone was very close!
Your tone is dead on! Is your treble dial really down like that though? I can't get anywhere near as much distortion with that setting. Do you use a boost pedal?
Charles Roberts Hello Charles. My apology for my late reply. I am pretty busy. Let’s go to your question. Yes, my Treble is almost always low, otherswise I would get too much “electric noise” in my track. I really do (or I used to) my covers just as fun, nothing more. Eveeything is recorded in Garage band and at the end I just tweek output sound a little bit. Just like bands do after they finish their recordings and going to mix the album.
If you are interrested how “stupid sipmle” my recording chain is, take a look at following link.
Wish U all the best on your way for a sound you are looking for✌🏻 Marcel

@@marcelkrchnak Awesome. Thanks for the update!
What guitar are you using?
Hello. ESP Truckster, GrassRotts Explorer and LTD Snakebyte.
Great job.. Funny through, when I dial in the same exact setting you are showing, I do not get the same results.
Remember that guitar pickups, picking, and the method he's using to track these tones will be completely different to your set up. It's easier to just get a ballpark and be happy. Who cares about perfect tone.
Doesn't say what speakers he's using. If he's using a Metallica based IR it'll get you closer than the amp
Your tone is so close to the original. Great work!
So closo my ass...
is it possible to set this mesa to sound like recto ? or they are totally different characteristic?
antropomorfizacja I’ve heard both amp one day and I think that no. Rectifier has it’s own color of the sound with some adde “whoof” in the sound. This one is little more “brighter” if I can describe like that. Or, you can try Mesa pedal called Throttle box. It has really close sound to recto.
Mesa makes a pedal called Throttle Box, which is the recto circuit and sounds like it if you wanted both options.
@@marcelkrchnak Is the Throttle box meant for a certain kind of amp?
@@51MontyPython Hello. Nope. ZHis pedal should work great with almost any amplifier. Basically, if you own some tube amp and will play this pedal through the clean channel of the amp, you should get a very nice results, which are very similiar to the Rectifier sound.
@@marcelkrchnak Thanks. Would it have to be a tube amp, or could you use it with a solid state as well?
Does headphone out also use the emulated speaker open/closed back settings?
Fuuuuhhh. That is a difficult question. I have never tried it. I have got it switched to closed back position all the time, because of type of my speaker. I am sorry, I cannot tell.
@@marcelkrchnak no problem, I’ll probably try both. Any particular reason why you didn’t use the XLR out? Thx
@@kevinac4397 Nope, there was no reason. Once my headphone output turned out like very usable, I was lazy to try invest into better setup.
What guitar and pickups are you using. With your settings I am not really getting your tone on my Mesa Mark V25.
Thanks in advance.
dimebucker in the bridge ?
Nope. I used only EMG 81/60 or EMG Hetset
Are you trolling with that treble setting?
I saw this and was thinking the same thing. I will have to try it.
You're running treble at zero for most of these?
Isn't the treble where the a lot of the gain comes from in Mark series circuits?
There has to be some type of pedal in the front. There’s no way the treble was at zero. Like you said, there’s a lot of gain that comes from the treble.
you look a bit like james on your avatar, lol
antropomorfizacja Whaaat? 😂😂😇✌🏻
Way to hard to hear the amp not blended with the tracks. Cool video though. I’d like to hear it with just the amp.
Thanks but the buttons are not able to see clearly
Miguel Valencia I am sorry. I took these pics only for myself and later I was “forced” to make such a video:)
No pedals at all??
Yes. The only pedals I've ever used were Hall of Fame by TC and delay pedal. But not in these samples. All you here is Mesa recorded into Garage band and processed during mixing.
fuck man, you know your amp!!! shit 🤘
Holy shit!😄👏🏻🤟🏻
Wheres "THE GOD THAT FAILED "...
I did not took a photo when I recorded that song.
