Mesa Boogie Mark 5 Guitar Amplifier
got to check it with my eyes only at namm friday, do damn busy and loud to check it out, but i must say it looks quite tempting.

has voicings on the lead channel for mark IV or the IIc+, channel 2 has a mark I combining these with the new voicing for this amp

each of the 3 channels is selectable between 10W, 45W, and 90W. and each can be set individually.

5 band graphic eq is channel selectable, footswitch selectable, and has "depth" voicings per channel.

the footswitch is laid out much better than my 5' long roadking pedal board. 2 rows of buttons instead of 1 long row, also has a mute switch on the pedal board, very cool.

power amp section will run el 34's or 6l6's or a combo of both.

these are just a few quick things i caught, overall this looks like a very promising amp

think i will be checking one out as soon as distribution gets going!!
