其實也不是缺點, 應該說是承襲 Mesa 的"傳統" ... 囧rz http://powerdragon-powerdragon.blogspot.com/2010/11/mesaboogie-mark-v-medium-head-review.html 1) Popping - 切換 channel 的時候偶爾會有所謂的"爆音" 出現 而且切換 channel 中的 mode 和 90w/45w/10w 選擇也會有 2) Reverb - Ch2 ("EDGE/CRUNCH/Mark I" mode) 的 Spring Reverb 效果很弱, 連原廠說明書內都直接闡明這點, 另外很可惜的是 Ch1 "Tweed" mode 的 Reverb 效果 也比 "Clean/Fat mode" 弱了一些, 幸好 Ch3 (Mark IIC+/Mark IV/EXTREME) 的 Reverb 是最棒的 接下來就是 medium head 的設計缺陷: 3) 在 medium head 內要塞進 12 根真空管也真不簡單了 最慘的就是 V1 位置被安排在 transformer 的後方, 想要不拆機殼換 V1 的 12AX7 ??!! 除非你的手指和外星人的一樣 拆機殼也不簡單, 還得先將 reverb tank 的連接線拔掉 4) Reverb tank 被崁在底部中央, 如果你的 cabinet 上方有把手, Mark V 很有可能會被頂著
以上只是"吹毛求疵"的評論, 在實際使用 Mark V 上並不會有太大的困擾 Mark V channel walkthrough by Ola Englund <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pdJP7kHWWh8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier VS Triple Rectifier comparison (from Haggertysmusic) <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3-txiKWJt6M" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> These two amplifiers are exactly the same. The Triple Rectifier boasts a 150 watt power section which adds some extra headroom and produces a bit more "grunt" in the low mids.
