The new Mark V

It's here. The Mesa Boogie Mark V. The long awaited and much speculated successor to the Mark series throne has finally arrived. Many suspected that it would debut at NAMM 2009 and Mesa did not let us down.

Excerpts from the Boogie site.

While the Mark I,II,II, and IV are all awesome amps in their own right, they weren't without some shortcomings. Mesa appears to have addressed everything with the Mark V.
