Back on the open market! First come, first serve!

In negotiations... stay tuned.

Top notch amp but I am just not a tube guy. This had to go to support the purchase of an incoming Eagle. 5w/50w 6L6 power and seems to be Mesa's take on a Blackface. 2 stages per channel with 2 channels and each with a switchable contour control for a total of 8 possible voices just at the...

Thanks!

I might be able to glean the audio off the original recording. I do, however, go for a very dark sound. Neck pickup. Volume and tone rolled back some. Treble knob knocked back to about 9-10 o'clock. Thanks for the compliments! :D

Hello all. I recorded this tune for my brother whom enjoys the melody. I used the Mesa Express 5:50 and thought I'd share. http://youtu.be/_sTxMvIyzDI

I think the 5:25 is your amp. I have the 5:50 and it gets very loud when being pushed to break up on the cleaner settings and, in my opinion, just isn't voiced for metal. The EL84's will break up sooner and get a nice overdrive.

When I got my standard Express 5:50 (non Plus) two months ago, I found my sound within a half hour. I more or less saw the rest of the amp as useless weight.

Anyone know what the differences are that has experienced both? Tint? Brightness? About the same? Thanks!

Still down for everyone? Is for me.

I play jazz with a slight blues lean to it. I also own a non plus 5:50. My plans for a second/backup amp is the TA30. I was torn between the blackfacey Express and the Voxy/tweedy Transatlantic. A good deal came up on the Express so my mind was made up for me financially. Maybe check out...

Following this thread with interest. This has been my favorite Eminence speaker for years now. Although I have no urge at the moment to replace the C90, if I were to, this would get first look. Great smokey tone to it.
