Amp 60W lamps
2 channels.
5 12AX7 preamp and 2 6L6
Amp stripped of bias adjustment when changing lamps.
A Electrovoice cabinet 12 inches.
This is the basic Mark2B. At the time it sold the Mesa amp base with options such as EQ, 60/100W the switch, etc.. Mine does not have any of that.
It is VERY heavy.

UTILIZATION

This is the most complicated to set the world amp.
Despite its façade not too loaded, the setting takes a hell of a time to be found!
Both channels may use the same knobs and it comes under the magic before finding the right balance between the two.
So, I do not rule one channel (light) to avoid having to spend twice as much time dealing with the cattle.
There is a downloadable manual on the site of Mesa Boogie but it serves no purpose. It is written in typewriter and they were quicker to advise us of démerder us rather than write technical stuff that does not facilitate adjustment.

SOUNDS

on the other hand sounds here!
It is a real tank. This is a legendary amp that does justice to its rank.
The clean sound is beautiful. This is in my opinion the best light I know her.
The crunch sounds (very quickly reached) are beautiful.
When you push the beast background, we reached the rock in hard rock, this is madness!
It's bold, it's accurate, it's hot and powerful.
I torque to a Bassman to play punk rock.
I can connect all kinds of guitars here do not scare him.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this amp for 15 years. This is my first tube amp and I had a monster bowl to find used.
Now that I know how to use, I do not let him go.
