I’ve spent hours and hours online trying to determine which will best suit my needs. I don’t have access to test live. I’m not playing out any more, but occasionally jamming with friends and home playing. I want Mesa because I want high-quality. I’m looking for a head to use with a 2x12 closed...
I have a TC 50 stock combo. I’m running a 2X12 closed back cab with two 16 ohm V30s, producing 8 ohms together (series?). I set the amp to 4 ohms when using the ext cab, giving me a three speaker set up. When I play the combo without the ext cab (rehearsals and home practice), the tone is very...
Hey all, I’m hoping somebody has a similar experience with this so I don’t have to completely disassemble my TC 50 combo amp… The amp makes a noise like tube rattle when I’m playing lower octave notes. It’s a relatively loud noise as I’m playing at about 90 dB and can hear it. At first I thought...

Cool input, thanks much! I need to be able to dial in edgy, not entirely clean, blues tones as well as classic overdriven growl, ala Page, Montrose, Lifeson. I haven't checked out the Lonestar, but will now. What's the major consideration of that vs. Stiletto II?
