Since it is the same size as the TC-50, it should fit on top of the Vertical 212 unlike its predecessor (RA100) that one barely fits on top of the OS Recto 412 cab. Hmmm.... Do I upgrade the RA100's to the TC-100? Perhaps.... Has all the features of the TC-50 and combines the power soak attenuator form the RA100, throws the controls up front and can run 4 6V6 tubes. I am in..... CH3 and CH1 on the TC-50 are great, CH2 can be thin but it can be compensated with more bass, less treble and higher gain settings. Sounds like a good amp but then again how does it sound? Guess I will have to wait for the videos to be posted on the Mesa site. Having Solo, FXloop, reverb switchable via footswitch is a step up. RA100 does not have that feature set, sounds great but the TC-100 has better options.
Sure, I may loose some weight eventually, sell the RA100 combo or head. Not sure which or just keep them. The Mark V stays as I finally tuned this thing into something fun to play though. JP-2C still on the top list.
First to go this year was the Roadster, now the Road King II is out to pasture. (missing from the Mesa website). Methinks there is another Rectifier amp in the works as the Rectifier herd is getting thinned out or is it getting phased out? Would I buy another Rectifier amp? not sure... the Roadster is great as it is and everything works flawlessly including the long footswitch. (Can't claim the Mark V footswitch works all the time as it has issues so I do not use it).
At least the change is taking place and more products with midi are emerging. Cool, keep it coming Mesa! When is the next Mark series coming out? (not that I am looking for a replacement for the JP-2C anytime soon, but the Mark V could use a few upgrades.)
