[JiveTurkey]

Mark VII, released on yesterday, the 7th day, designed by the man turning 77 this year. So many signs!

I haven’t watched his video yet, but hell yes I have the same questions. Why all the dad rock guitarists? I’m much more akin to Ola Englund than Andertons, Mesa Mark amps I though were primarily played by metal guys, and there’s only one demo of it out there by Fluff that comes anywhere close.

The true icon of a the Mark series is Trey Anastasio of legendary band “the Phish”

I want to see Mayer demo'ing some Conway Twitty riffs on one

I’d argue that the Mark series is much more capable at a variety of genres than your average metal-focused amplifier.

Metal is “dad rock” too…

I purposely avoid most YouTube videos and I’m angry I skipped thru this one because I assumed he’d be providing a non dad rock demo.

Instead he was just whining with a guitar in his hands

Dude; he mocks the "bend the neck trick for sustain" a number of times and I had a great laugh at that

So are we thinking that the Mark VI = JP2C? And that's why they went to Mark VII?

MarkVI is not JP2C. There was a prototype MKVI that never went into production. It was probably
better than the MKVII, but Gibson's bean counters killed it, so the world gets stuck with the MKVII.

Great argument. Not one metal demo yet for this thing reall other than Fluff. I know of exactly zero dad Rock guys that play Marks lol

Marks were made famous by metal players and they are generally excellent metal amps. To have no one showing that is bizarre.

Yup. Unless your Dad owns a Yacht.

But Gibson wanted to ensure ALL the demos featured Gibson R9s and P90 loaded SGs.... and random Strats that
never reveal the headstocks.

some non metal famous mark users off the top of my head:

Santana
Larry Carlton
Jerry Garcia (used during various JGB shows in the 80s, weir experimented with them too at one point or another I believe)
Trey Anastasio
Al do meola
Weezer


Tons and tons of others honestly. Marks are incredibly diverse amps and deliver amazing tones across the board. I don’t mind seeing lower rain demos at all of the VII. I have no worries thst it can’t also crush
