Hey all.......FNG here.
I've owned several Mesa amps in the past.....Mark III, Studio 22, Rectoverb.....all fine amps, no doubt. I was younger and liked all the controls. Graphic EQ, channel switching, push/pull pots, mini toggles........all the whistles and bells that, looking back, could often be confusing when trying to define my desired tone......prolly just me, huh. I have and play a Marshall 1974X from 2004 that's a rockin' 18W amplifier....and freakin' loud. And then this came along.......
I bought this one about six months ago and, to use an old school word, it's swell! Warm, articulate, crystal clear and very dynamic. I most often keep the gain between noon and 3pm, max the master and set the power level for the room. Stratocaster. No pedals. Curly cord. Boom.
