A most refreshing demo. Thanks for the add of bass & drums.

What a Great Player...🎵❤️❤️🎶🙏 I have always loved the concept of mesa boogie since the beginning...! ( I am a 68 year old Player.. ) but it has always been the price of these amplifiers that has kept me from purchasing one even a used one....👀 so I just have to suffer through life with my 1971 Twin ......🎵🎸🎶

This is an excellent demo. I went with the 10" because of shaving 10 lbs. from the weight and the 10" speaker adding a bit of tightness to the bottom end. Also, the cabinet is slightly smaller than the 12", but both cabinets share the same depth, making the 10" a little more firm but not sacrificing presence and overall acoustics. I'm really impressed with this amp and recommend the 10/12 or the 40-watt model to anyone on the fence.
@PandaSharpener2 жыл бұрын
do you find that the 1x10 has enough low end?
@kididaho92 Жыл бұрын
@@PandaSharpener Hi. Sorry for the late reply. Yes, the 10 has a tight bottom, and this isn't your daddy's alnico, and it holds together well, even when pushed. The depth of the cabinet preserves the low end. Rivera does this with their Chubster amp, allowing a relatively compact amp to retain depth and presence while still being portable.

I have seen a few demos of this amp and the dirty channel just seems to be muddy sounding, guess I'm spoiled by my FM9.

Honestly, I prefer cleans from this vs. traditional blackface cleans. The added warmth is more pleasing to my ear and the clean tones I would be chasing.

@@songboy40 I definately could have wordered it better. It should have been more a suggestion. So that was childish.
