Preowned Mesa Boogie Mark Five:35 Head in Black

The Lightweight Stage-Ready Studio Benchmark

The Mesa/Boogie Mark Five:35™ Head combines Mesa’s 35-year history of 4xEL84 power designs with the versatility of the legendary MARK preamp architecture. Weighing just 27 lbs., this mid-sized head packs 2 fully independent channels, 6 distinct mode voicings, and an array of stage and studio features into a compact, gig-ready aluminum chassis.

Driven by a 4xEL84 power section utilizing Mesa’s proprietary Dyna-Watt™ Multi-Watt™ technology, the Mark Five:35 offers 35 Watts or 25 Watts of Class A/B Pentode power for maximum punch and headroom, alongside a 10-Watt Class A/B Triode setting for low-volume clip expression. With independent Channel 1 Mid/Boost controls, the iconic footswitchable 5-Band Graphic EQ, dual channel-independent footswitchable SOLO level boosts, and an onboard CabClone™ DI Cabinet Simulator (featuring Closed-Back, Open-Back, and Vintage voicings), the Mark Five:35 provides exceptional tone control for live performance and silent studio tracking.

The Sanctuary Perspective: For gigging musicians and studio session pros who love the Mark Series gain architecture but don't want to haul a 40+ lb. 90-watt head, the Mark Five:35 is the sweet spot in the lineup. The inclusion of dedicated, footswitchable SOLO level controls for both channels gives lead players precise volume jumps during live sets. This pre-owned head is in Near Mint cosmetic and functional condition and includes the original 4-button footswitch, cable, and fitted slipcover.
