Well I picked this up yesterday. I'm surprised how big it sounds. The cleans are fantastic. More than enough clean head room for me I think. I usually run my Kingsley Page on the clean channel with just a slight amount of break up. So if I'm able to get that from the amp on a gig that would be a bonus. A very simple design on this amp than most Mesa's yet very versatile. The effects loop worked great with my delay run through it. I set the first channel to clean and the second channel to mid gain drive. The over drive on this amp is far superior to the pedal I was using. I used a Waza blues driver for my mid gain and I thought I had a pretty decent sound. But compared to the drive on the mesa the pedal is a bit thinner sounding and splatty. It seems this amp will come through in the areas that I'd hoped from the Tone King Sky King I had but didn't work out.
This amp has passed 2 out of 3 tests. 1. In store test. 2. Home studio test. Now for #3, gig test which will be September 4th.
