Now all we need are pics and sound/video clips for this post!

The ELECTRA™ Simul-Class™ 45/90 also looks interesting...
 
And is the speaker for the MESA® 1X12 WIDEBODY, CLOSED BACK, FRONT PORTED GUITAR CABINET front mounted or back mounted? I'm guessing back mounted...

I'm curious as to how it'll compare to thieles we know of, but with EV speakers! Obviously it'll have more bottom end.

The anticipation!!!
 
Is the Electra a Mark voiced amp? does anyone know anything else about it? does it take from an existing line, or is it a "new" sound?

That widebody 1x12 is intriguing... Is it not just a widebody thiele?
Pretty much. Since the Mark V won't fit on 1x12 theile, they have made a widebody 'version'.
 
I am curious about the Electra.

I wonder what they mean exactly by Vintage Hi-gain. Does it mean Mark I sounds, or perhaps MKIIC+ sounds (lets face it, IIC+ is pretty much 'vintage' in terms of age) ?

With 7x12AX7 on board, I would wager that thing goes FAR beyond vintage-ey MKI amounts of gain. Could be a cool amp, perhaps the closest we ever see to a IIC+ reissue (not in terms of copying exact features/layout, just the general vibe of it).
 
It sounds interesting...

but could they have given it a better name than f/cking Electra?
