Three channels of sublime sonic possibilities
Loaded with three channels and nine modes, the Mark VII is a do-it-all tone machine. Channel one includes Clean, Fat, and Crunch modes, producing everything from crystal-clear cleans to hard-rock crunch. Channel two includes Fat, Crunch, and Mark VII modes, yielding various shades of thick, throaty distortion. Channel three features Mark IIB, Mark IIC+, and Mark IV modes, churning out all the high-gain tones you can handle. Two of these modes are new to the Mark VII: the Mark IIB mode, which is a throwback to the early-'80s tones of the amplifier it's named after, and the Mark VII mode, which is a modern high-gain sound chock-full of character and attitude. From Woodstock psychedelia to Bay Area thrash — and beyond — the Mark VII re-creates recognizable tones from Mesa/Boogie's past and supplies you with the tonal building blocks to craft new ones of your own.
Mesa/Boogie's ultra-flexible graphic EQ
While the Mesa/Boogie Mark VII gives you standard tone controls, you also get a 5-band graphic EQ for even more sound-shaping power. By using the Mark VII's graphic EQ in conjunction with a high-gain sound, you'll be able to nail the classic "V" curve that became a staple of heavy-metal guitar in the 1980s. Each of this tube combo amplifier's channels is fitted with a mini-toggle to turn the graphic EQ on or off, plus you can make the EQ footswitchable. Many high-gain aficionados here at Sweetwater rely on Mesa/Boogie amplifiers for their high-level distortion-sculpting power, and we're blown away by the Mark VII — it's easily the most powerful Mark Series amp yet!
Multi-Watt and Simul-Class power
The Mark VII lets you alter the amount (wattage) and type (configuration) of power each individual channel will be coupled with, giving you unprecedented control over the character and personality of your amp. Lowering the wattage of the Mark VII decreases its headroom, making it easier to push it into overdrive. This guitar amplifier is also wired so that it's capable of operating in both a Class A triode configuration and/or a Class A/B pentode configuration, depending on which wattage you select. You can use two power tubes to operate the Mark VII in Class A Triode mode at 25 watts, or you can use two tubes running in Class A/B Pentode mode at 45 watts. The best part, however, is that you can use four tubes running in both Class A and Class A/B modes simultaneously at 90 watts, giving you the best of both worlds.
Achieve awesome tones without a speaker cab
Parked in front of a live audience or DI'd into your DAW, the Mesa/Boogie Mark VII enables you to dispense with microphones and all the complications that come with them, by virtue of its built-in CabClone IR. This reactive load box and IR cabinet simulator allows individual assignment of eight Rectifier and Boogie cabinets per channel, plus it gives you the ability to upload third-party IRs. With the Mark VII, you'll benefit from limitless cab combinations for unprecedented tone crafting. Take it onstage to dial up cranked amp tones at venue-appropriate volumes. Use it in the studio to get perfect-sounding guitar recordings. Or, plug into the Recto's headphones output for silent practice sessions that sound like a mic'd amp.
