Make sure and let us know how the 50W factors into the loudness of the amp too!
Platy...the Ace here is calling me...more than the Rivera...must resist...
You saying how well it sounded with your LP makes me really anxious to see how it sounds with my PRS CU24!
Plus, every time I see the green/tan, it just gives me some kind of warm fuzzy all over.
When you have the channels set to crunch, are they pretty open sounding, or do they get compressed like a lot of other Mesas?
GET IT!
It's seriously one of the most fun amps I've ever played.
And to add insult to injury, I demoed it on my PRS Custom 22 as well and it was f' ridiculously good... not as good as the LP but my CU22 is modern.
I'm the same way about green, I was going to order that color scheme for my Dual Rec but it was too expensive to be worth it.
The crunch thing, there really isn't a setting on this amp that sounds too compressed unless your output volume is too low. In fact, the Crunch is one of the coolest choices on either channel.. the amp itself is VERY touch sensitive, so awesome, you play light, it plays quiet.. you thrash it, it obeys perfectly with no mucking with your guitar volumes. This is especially true in the Crunch mode and the Fat clean mode.. you can get that great Fender Deluxe Reverb 'wallop' sound out of it on the Fat Clean..
This amp is loud as piss man, my output volume was on 10 o clock today and the room was shaking, literally... the louder it goes, the more it purrs beautifully.
To answer your question from last time, the volume control, esp on the LP, only adds glaze/gain to your sound, not volume.. so awesome.
This truly is a set it and forget it amp, I've got my classic clean tones, fenderesque thump, CRUNCHY plexi tones on one channel, and JCM800 aggression and mid spank absolutely drenched in harmonic overtones on the other.
Do yourself a favor and go play one, I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon.
