Newbie doobie - Looking for a Mesa.....but which one ??

[Tuscan777]

Hi, got the address of this place from the Guitarist UK site, nice.

Anyway, I'm looking at getting a Mesa but there seem to be lots out there with funny names etc but can anybody tell me which I should narrow it down to for tryouts? I really want the following:

Great clean channel
1x12
2 channel
Nice lot of crunch for classic rock noodlings
Out and out power isn’t a great problem as I mic up, but around 30w is the kind of rating I’ll be looking at

Cheers good people.

Cheep F30 or F50
Not so cheep ,Loanstar, possibly a but mellow ?
Very not cheep ,Roadster ,best value in the range.
Sell your house ,Roadking plus a crane to move it around. :lol:

dude i own a triaixs and a 20/20 power amp and i love it but i recently needed to pick up a second amp for a different kind of gig. I played nearly every boogie combo out right now and they were all great but for the money i was extremely impressed with the new express amps. the cleans were tight and punchy and I was able to dial in some real nice classic rock distortion....I suggest you find a way to try them out....the lonestar special was great but several hundred more dollars. I ultimatley ended buying a fender twin because the gig required no distorion at all and I wanted to add a completley different sound than what I already owned....but i still sometimes regret just not buying more boogie!!!!!
