« Powerful »

Published on 08/24/11 at 14:47
all-tube, two 6l6, six 12ax7, 50 watts, more than 40 lbs, FX loop, reverb, 2 independent channels, switchable EQ....and that's it: Not too bulky and it fits in the trunk of a small car. VERY POWERFUL

UTILIZATION

A bit difficult to adjust: 2 channels with very different personality, the EQ is very effective, useful user's manual.

You can get lots of different sounds, with the switchable EQ you almost have a third channel.

the clean channel can crunch (it has a boost), while the distortion sound distorts already when set to "2"

SOUNDS

rock and punk rock: Telecaster that suits the distortion channel perfectly, huge strat with the clean channel, PRS very dense with the crunch.

I prefer: the clean very clean and silky, the distortion that can be very fat

OVERALL OPINION

It has been my rehearsal and concert buddy for three years now: It is reliable, relentless, heavy, and sturdy. It never complains and can sound clean under all circumstances. An old traditional Mesa without a single wrinkle. sensitive souls should refrain.
