When I heard my LP through my 5:25 1x10, I was hooked! Strats and their ilk need much more twiddling and tweaking, but I can't get a bad sound out of it with my LP or V. I'll always own this amp!

I agree with Krek that the Express has all the OD/Distortion anyone could reasonably want right in the box. I don't get the mania to get a Marshall tone from a Mesa, or any other amp. Isn't that what Marshalls are for?

My 5:25 1x10 has become my main amp. My ancient heavily souped '53 Gibson 6L6 1x12 sounds awesome, but ya can't get at the sweet spot without hurting people. The little Mesa is just plain more portable, practical, modern, and convenient; with amazing tones on tap at any volume. At a huge venue...

Hey everyone! I'm Reif, a guitar freak in my 50's. I've had a 5:25 1x10 for just over a year. I got it as a backup to my modded '53 Gibson amp, but its modern features, portability, and KILLER TONE have moved into main amp status. I gig heavily with it, and have yet to find a venue it can't...
