Visionary Amp Design and Versatility - The Mesa/Boogie Mark VII Guitar Combo Amplifier with 12-Inch Speaker

The MARK VII™ is the versatile culmination of Randall Smith’s 50+ year career of visionary amp design and brings that knowledge, history, innovation, and performance into the simplest, most versatile, and smallest full-powered Mark Series amplifier ever. Iconic Boogie circuits and familiar features have been reexplored, enhanced, and melded with new voices and tools in an easy layout for players to use to dial in inspirational tones, experience the ultimate responsiveness/feel of tube amplification, and simply enjoy playing. Within the Mark VII’s 3 Channel, 9 Mode preamp are the iconic circuits of the Mark IIB™, Mark IIC+™, and Mark IV™, the legendary Mark Series Clean, Fat, and Crunch modes, and a new modern high-gain Mode, full of character and attitude - more shredding than previous Mark amps and more vocal than a Recto - aptly named the Mark VII.

The Boogie® Five-Band Graphic EQ, at the heart of chart-topping guitar sounds since the 70s, appears again on this Mark Series amp and acts as a powerful footswitchable or channel assignable tone shaping tool. Add dimension & ambience to the tones you’ve dialed by blending in the ideal amount of lush, tube-driven, analog spring reverb with individual controls for each channel found on the front panel of the Mark VII. A seamless, footswitchable, tube-buffered, series effects loop provides an onboard patch point for effects between the preamp and power section.

Perfectly tailor the Mark VII’s power section to the tones you craft in the preamp using the patented Multi-Watt™ Channel Assignable Power combined with the exclusive Simul-Class™ power. Simul-Class simultaneously marries the efficiency and boldness of Class A/B operation with the warmth and smooth transition to clipping of Class A to create the ultimate in vintage tube tone with modern power and headroom. Choose between 90 Watts of high headroom/tight-tracking Simul-Class power, 45 watts of harmonically complex Class A Pentode power, or 25 watts of sweet, clip-able Class A Triode power. A Bias Select switch gives players the option of swapping out the 6L6 power tubes the VII ships with for EL34s.

CabClone IR Direct circuitry, developed in partnership with Two Notes, offers 8 popular MESA Rectifier & Boogie Cabinet Impulse Responses to choose from per Channel for great sounding, quick & easy to use Direct recording, live front-of-house interfacing, or listening with headphones. Its reactive load provides a natural feel as well as protection for the amp when employed in those places where cabinetry isn’t always ideal or feasible. The VII’s DI Section also covers players needing an unfiltered feed for re-amping purposes by providing a 1/4" Buffered Dry/Untreated Line Out.

The Mark VII employs MIDI Program Change and Control Change capabilities, enabling you to call up any one of the Channels with MIDI Program Change commands along with your processors that respond to MIDI for one-button convenience in live performance applications. A 6-button (3 x 3) footswitch ships with each amp, allowing players to channel switch and turn on or off their Reverb, FX Loop, and Graphic EQ.

MESA/Boogie’s exclusive Simul-Class™ Power Amp featuring Multi-Watt™ (Patent 7,602,927) with Incremental Wattage Reduction (Patent 9,917,560) which provide three power and two operating-class options that are channel assignable via 25/45/90 Watt Power Switches: Choose 2 power tubes operating in Class A Triode, producing 25 Watts: 2 tubes running in Class A Pentode, producing 45 Watts, or 4 tubes running in MESA/ Boogie’s legendary Simul-Class Power that blends the best of Class A and Class A/B simultaneously to produce 90 Watts of pure tonal magic.
