I would hope so, but I really can't say that I am confident about that. I've noticed with other Mesa amps, in particular the Road King, Roadster, and ED, that at gigging volumes (unmic'ed) all of these amps' clean channels had a bit of "hair" on them. I am looking for an amp that will stay super clean at high volumes, even on the bridge pup. I think a lot of this "hair" has to do with Mesa's design having most of the distortion come from the preamp section. It seems in these higher gain Mesa's, the higher gain channels affect the headroom of the dedicated clean channels at gigging volumes. That is my speculation, but it seems to make sense. A 80-watt Bogner Shiva, cranked at gigging volumes, stays 100% clean.
