Mesa Mini

Just got the new Mesa Mini-----Love it. When you change from 25w to 10w on the channel two modern mode it changes the tone allot? When I'm on the clean channel and change from 25w to 10w it just drops volume not tone, but on the gain channel I get a voice change from 25w to 10w. Is this par for the course?

Thanks

Yeah the tone warms up noticeably when switching to 10w.

Congrats on the purchase ...I'm loving mine!

Cant believe how well they did with this head, what cab are you playing through?

i don't know if this is the answer ...

The 25 watt setting is using Dyna Watt technology which increase power and dynamics of EL84s power tubes. To me, this technology doesn't make the amp sound like your typical EL84 guitar amp (ala Vox, Dr. Z EL84 amps, etc ... ) but rather more rounder, and dynamic.

The 10 watt setting will sound pretty much like an EL84 guitar amp -- yes, you could dial the tone controls -- Well this is what I think. Could be wrong though.

I too want a Mini Recto.

My brother plugged the guitar cord into the footswitch input, the amp poped a little and made a sizzle sound. Is this bad???????????????????? Can this damage the amp? Amp sounds ok.

I think you'll be just fine. I don't think the output levels of a guitar would be very harmful. Does anything seem wrong? If not, don't worry about it.

No its good!

You have more chance to damage your guitar then the amp I think.
