iamqman « Nice amp »
Published on 12/18/11 at 15:53Mesa boogie is really known for their extremely well built and roadworthy amplifiers. They built some of the best sounding and easily most recognized amplifiers in the world. You get a nice thick natural saturation and compression that makes Mesa boogie's sound only like themselves. They have such an organic and surreal tone that is been used in multiple gigging and recording sessions of my own. This amp is basically the same as the combo but just in ahead version.

SOUNDS
The tone of this lamp is a nice warm thick saturated tone. The tone will vary from cab to cab and speaker to speaker. I prefer V30's or M90 with most Mesa Boogie amps.It's a cool little amp if you need something that's very small compact and easy to move around. You basically have two independent channels that features to 6L6 power tubes. You have 50 W of power and most importantly this is a nice little practice amplifier. You have a record or headphone output which allows someone to play silently with headphones on. With that little feature it pretty much tells you all you need to know about this amplifier. It's simply a Mesa boogie amplifier built for someone who needs a small practice amp.
OVERALL OPINION
These amplifiers have been discontinued first some time now but you can find them on the use classified sections fairly easily. They're pretty popular amplifier and they have a great sound and a great tone and you probably won't have to worry about them breaking down too often. They aren't as popular as the combo but you can still find them out there.
