I recently got my hands on Enchant's live DVD and am dumbfounded by the Mesa head used on it (used by the singer--the main guitarist has, I believe, a Triaxis setup). It appears to be a Mark V, but the DVD was recorded in 2004. That's way too early for a prototype and while Enchant is loyal to Mesa, I doubt they were on the "early prototypes" shortlist. The only thing that doesn't look Mark V on it to me is what I think is a single switch where the three preset EQ shape knobs should be. There may be some missing mini-switches on the channel controls--can't really tell as the production quality wasn't particularly great (though the audio mix is impressive considering the budget).

You can see it all throughout this video in front of the drum kit, particularly in the song starting around 1:27:16:

I'm pretty sure I've lost my mind and someone is going to tell me it's some very common production model that has slipped my memory, but because it's distracting me from the more important elements of the DVD, it seemed worth asking some of the experts here ;)
 
It's a Mesa Nomad.
You can download the owner's manual at the Mesa website.
Or, here:

Sure is! I forgot there was a Nomad with a 5-band on it. I was right--it was a production model that totally slipped my mind. :p Thanks.
