Whilst I think the Crunch channel is really musical and bouncy, the Blues channel feels really odd "under my fingers" - it's almost as if there is some sort of latency between when I hit the strings and when I get a response. Also I can't really get a setting which offers anything different or...

That's what I thought. Sticking with the Express. Thanks

I have an Express 5:50+ and love the clean channel. However I really need the portability of the TA30. It seems like the Vox voiced channel is fantastic, but how about the clean "Fender" channel? Is that any good and is there a lot of headroom at high volume? Thanks

Thanks. I've been looking around different cabs but given the high prices of the recto cabs here in the UK, I might probably stick to my Orange 2x12. By offset, do you mean that the two speakers are in the opposite corners (one left/down, the other right/up)? That's the case with mine, so just...

That's a beautiful cab. Shame it is so heavy and expensive (here in the UK it is more than $1000!) I also find there is a big difference in sound between when the cab is on the floor and when not (any cab for that matter). Even the castors have a dramatic effect as I think they contribute to a...

Allow me to jump on the band wagon. Just got a 5:50+ here in the UK and it just sings - especially channel 1. The cleans are amazing, but the Crunch mode is sublime. Still warming up to channel 2 and am thinking of running the Blues mode (channel 2) as my clean sound and the Crunch mode...

I recently bought a 5:50+ which sounds amazing through my Orange 2x12 open back cab loaded with V30s, but not so through my Marshall 2x12 closed back cab loaded with G12C. I was wondering which Mesa cab would best suit this amp. Style I play is classic rock / funk rock - Chili Peppers...

Well, you'd be pleased to know that I got the amp and so far so good! :) I do have a question though. Is it normal that the amp sounds better when positioned on a level substantially below my ears? What I mean by that is that when position the amp on a higher level, so that it is at the same...

Thank you. Looks like it's leaning towards the 5:50... You guys in the US are so lucky - the amp at Guitar Center in the US is $ 1300. Here in the UK the same amp is $ 2000!!!

Thanks, but aren't the voicings completely different as a result of the two different type tubes (EL34s in the 5:25 and 6L6s in the 5:50)?

Hello Mesa tribe! I recently tried an Express 5:50 and was blown away by its sound. I currently have a Blackstar Series One 45W and have in the past played Marshalls so was unprepared for the Mesa tone. People often say that you can tell an amp is great when you plug in and 2 hours later you...
