Well,
I finally got to use my new 5:25 (with the 12" speaker) in a jam session. I also used a compact Mesa 1/12 cabinet w/C90, that I used to set the 5:25 on. The litle amp flat hung with a heavy handed drummer (it was set to the 30 watt setting). I had the masters up to about 1030 or 1100 and that was plenty of volumn. I still had a little volumn left on my guitar at that setting.
THe tone was to die for. The amp flat cuts through the mix. I heard all notes played and nothing was muted or farty. I also have a Lone Star Special and I think I may like this amp a little better. ALthough the LSS has a 4/10 cabinet, the two 12" speakers were still tight sounding to me.
So, for anyone thinking the LSS is a better amp than the 5:25, all I can say is BS. I will be selling my LSS in the very near future. IMO the 5:25 sounds just as good (and maybe better) and is quit a bit lighter and easier to haul around. The contour feature of the Express Series really opens these amps up.
