I picked up the repaired .22 this week, I took it to a gig and it’s back to top form. I’m glad I got it fixed. My Tech cleaned all the pots too and the amp sounds great.

I went to play my 1989 Studio .22+ w/ GEQ and it wouldn't even power up the other day. I took it in to my amp tech and he tells me it has a bad power transformer primary and can get one from Mesa, installed for $130. Weeks go by and he contacts me to say Mesa cannot supply one and have no...

>.5% to 95% volume jump yeah, I always run a vol pedal in the loop of my Sutdio .22+ for this exact reason. It gives me the taper missing on the Mesa volume knobs.

I picked up a 50w head today and can see what people are talking about on low clean volume. If you run the clean mode below 11 o’clock gain you have to dime the master to get it up to stage volume. Fortunately I rarely play that clean and I don’t play out much anymore so I’m good. I tired it...

I'm considering a Fillmore and there's ton of talk (on TGP) of it lacking headroom on the clean setting, even on the 50w version. Players claim it can't keep up with a band and does not have that big glass umph that other 50w amps have. I'm looking for more discussion/opinions/perspective on...

PSA: Reverb 20% off sale on Mesa Fillmore cab - 23" brings price down to $359. Good thru 11/26. Too bad they do not include the head & combo for this sale, but if someone is considering the cab, it's a small discount...

Yes, exactly. Why don't we have a Fillmore section yet so we don't have to schlog thru Fillmore content in the "Modern Era Amp" section?

I gave this a try tonight.... winner. :D I like it. Runs at 4 ohms and can rip your face off. Cool.

The Thiele cab works great with the .22+. I like the 2x12 combo with one open and one closed. It really adds a nice dimension and punch to the sound. I have used my Thiele for years with a MK IV combo so I am very used to this setup.

Good to know.... that cab gets very little use since my Bassman head is my only true 4 ohm amp. I'll def give it a try.

I have a used TA-15 coming this week. I'm curious what this amp can do well. I'll have more to report soon. Keep the comments coming. So haven't one of you geniuses come up with a mod to add an FX loop to the TA-15. This seems like it would solve a lot of concerns (and $ to not have to buy...

Here's my Mesa Studio .22+ and Thiele Cab (C90). I played a MK IV combo for 20+ years and the weight was not working well with my aging back. I sold the MK IV and picked up this .22+. It's half the weight and gives me the signature Mesa Mk sound that I always enjoyed on the MK IV. This amp...

Thanks for the replies guys. The TA-15 is en-route and I'll do some A/B'g this weekend.

I have a used TA-15 coming in next week. This amp just looks way cool feature-wise and I had to try one. After years of using big iron, I've come to the conclusion that 10-20 watts is all I need to play small venue gigs and at home. I played a Mk IV combo for 20+ years as my #1, sold it a few...
