« Mesa Boogie DC-5 Combo »

I traded my TC Electronics g-major effects unit for this combo. That guy was a moron.

I like the built in graphic eq! So convenient! Mine was damaged and someone wired the pull knob in the boost position before I got it, so I haven't heard the unboosted clean channel. But I am planning on getting it repaired. But the 2 channels I have to work with now are great! I can get almost fender-y cleans if the gain is low on the clean channel, and I can really tear shit up on the lead, without the use of any external processors, pedals and the like. Again, mainly due to the eq.

Hey... that rhymed...

I don't like Mesa/Boogie because of their ridiculous prices. I lookedinto getting a foot controller for this thing, they want $45 american dollars for a 1-button! Screw that, I am now using my a/b box (was free whenever I got it...) with an insert cable. Works fine.

It seems tough enough. It's in bad cosmetic condition, but this one is an old one. As soon as I take it in for a tune up I'm sure it will rock once again.

Mesa has got one hell of a libido. They should tone down on their prices.
