It is a full amp lamps (2 X 6L6 X12AX7 and 6).
50W of power (attention is the Watts lamps and Mesa-Boogie - trs is powerful)
effects loop with MIX FX, among footswitch reverb and equalizer-channel output recording (with the possibility to cut or not the speaker) output 2 HP 4 Ohm and 8 Ohm output, an output driver for a slave Another amp and finally between a guitar!
UTILIZATION
The handling of the amp is simple but the equalizer (depending on whether or not BTAC) is a little less. The easiest way is to rfrer the manual that contains many examples of sounds. By grinding a minimum rglages have come to get a more than valid.
The manual is disponbible online for those who would not have received with the amp (www.mesaboogie.com)
SOUNDS
I use several guitars: a Tom Anderson Drop Top, an American Standard Fender Stratocaster and a Gibson Les Paul Studio. The DS-5 fully respects the personnailt of each guitar. I think it is a guarantee of quality for an amp. Each guitar keeps the sound it must have: the mesa does not color frquences instruments.
The clean sounds are warm and crystalline (like those of a Boogie Mark IV), the crunch is perfect for rhythmic well supported. The lead channel alone is worth the dtour. The sound is the Dual Rectifier (I know: I had a dual head grinding and I did not care because I had the same sound with the DC-5). It allows you to have a solo but its powerful trsdfini. The sound does not bleed like some Marshalls, it's clean and prcis. In rhythm with a lot of gain we get the big sound of Korn, Limp Bizkit ..
.
OVERALL OPINION
I bought my amp new in 1996 it still works as well (if not better, it gets better with age!).
I changed lamps amplification two times (I'm thirty concerts per year). Never prampli lamps (not ncessaire unless you want to change the texture of the amp - ask Mike Soldano
)
When purchasing j'tais party to buy a Marshall JCM900 combo ... and I flash on the DC-5. A little more expensive but so much better ...
The report price quality is unquestionable. In the era for the price we could find no better (about 1400 euros today).
If mine broke down and silent irrparrable I will seek a DC-5 APRS ...
