Cf manufacturer amp combo 1x 12-inch, 50 watt all-tube Class / B splittable 5Watt Class A (EL34). Power amplifier in two 6L6.
2 channels independent (gain, treble, mid, bass, master, reverb, contour) with two modes at each of the CHANNELS: clean / crunch, blues, burn.
footswitch to select Channel 1 or 2 but you can not choose how the cannal, only downside.
and effects loop option to shunt insertformat jack or switch activated by other reverb, contour.
capacity adjustment, even in high power 5 W!!
UTILIZATION
Config very simple, the most significant is the truly independent as 2 channels of EQ and the gain and master contour.
Beware the EQ settings greatly influence the overall sound ... (Sign of a good amp), the outline provides two somewhat distinct from the channel (kind of boost for solos) but also rich in harmonics so not bad for the clear sound equal.
the manual is in English but very easy to understand and I think need to learn to adjust to his amp and the sound (you will win qqes hours!)
SOUNDS
Very wide range of sound, even more distinctive rock qd, the clean is great, the distortion powerful but never aggressive (which I like in Mesa.
Please note the sound is most accurate, you are a bread you can hear right now, this amp you will advance and play softer because it has a huge presence.
I mainly played with a Telecaster, sometimes a series Ibanez Sabre in config rock and the amp fully respects the sound of each guitar and highlights but it's important to take the time to set it to your instrument if You want to maximize.
I think the distortion does not effect the "power" of a head to play correct type of metal, for example but not my style of music dc ca not bother me
When the switch 5-W is still on the ass as the sound is beautiful and full of harmonics, ideal for recording but also to play a little softer.
I use almost no effect (ca would be a shame) just an Ernie Ball volume ds loop and a distortion to vary my sound saturated.
what I love: how clean, crunch, burn, by way against the blues I do not like the sound at all (not very high medium low) it's a bit weird. The switch to 5W.
OVERALL OPINION
I played for one month is not much, I have not toured at all, and nothing to do with the other amp (peavey, marshall, fender, vox), Mesa is the sound you can do anything with.
what I regret is not able to change the mode cannal footswitch (poblème poses to get a clean perfect if it was already set to play for crunch distortion +.
but against the big plus is that the two are completely independent cannaus in settings which offers tremendous opportunities palette (and what is rather rare on combos lamps).
A little pricey but good qd even seen the quality and finish ... ca is justified.
I do not rejourais on transistor (fender well made) with an effects processor (ToneLab vox, sometimes I feel like relearning to play.
This choice I would do without hesitation.
