Hey Don, I’d agree with Dr. Harmonica except well, you do work for Sweetwater and you do try to sell the stuff y’all stock. But I pulled the trigger last month and sold my DSL 40C and bought the Mark 25 and I am a Mesa guy forever. Everything you said and showed was right on target. If anyone wants an amp this big, a Mesa is the way to go, the tone these people come up with is unbelievable. Sweetwater is the place to buy if there’s not a Mom & POP ship in your area. Good video!

Great job on this video. I dig the variation you can get with this series of amps. The multi-soak option is great. I was originally into the TC-50. I don't really need 100 watts. But, this amp you can really play around with the output, which I think is what makes this amp so flexible.

I have this amp and it's an amazing gigging platform with fantastic rock tones. I have so many positives to say about this amp but I do have some reservations about the tight (also drive) voicing. I think the tight tone circuit went a bit too far. I understand the reasoning behind the tight mode which is a great idea, especially for the higher gain players. However, I feel there's too much of a difference switching from the normal mode to tight/drive and this is exacerbated in the clean channel because it has less drive than the other 2 channels so the bottom end just gets cut too much. If only the clean channel could maintain more of that fat punchy bottom end when switched into drive mode. I still love this amp, but I dislike the noisy fan as well.
@PinchTune4 жыл бұрын
But that's only a problem if you use the tight switch on the clean channel? I mean, you could keep it off on the clean channel and use it on the other two, right? I'm researching the TC-50 against the V:35. Leaning towards V:35, but there are some really good things I like about the TC50. First being the 3 channels over 2, much smarter footswitch layout and the EL34s vs the EL84s.
@timh43693 жыл бұрын
I just purchased this amp. It is really very good . I would somewhat agree with the tight switch I find it cuts too much bass ,but you can compensate somewhat . I would like the drive switch on the clean channel to have a little more usable gain. But all in all I am very impressed with the quality’ and features of this amp. I play it a lot and it has very satisfying tones to be found .

Enjoyed this review. Am thinking of this or the Friedman BE50 deluxe, but the attenuator on this Mesa sounds soooo useful. One question - what cab would you guys recommend for mainly home use?
@sweetwater6 жыл бұрын
Craig S, thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the demo. As for a speaker cabinet recommendation, the cabinet I demo'd this amp with has Celestion V30s in it and is closed-back. V30s have a pretty specific sound and the closed-back effects the sound as well. If you like that tone, look at a 1x12 version and keep the volume down on the TC-100 since V30s are rated at 60W! Check this out: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MiniRectCabB As an aside, Mesa cabs are really well-designed, well-built, and reliable. I've had two, 2x12 Mesa cabs since 1989 that have been used on thousands (literally) of gigs and have gone through multiple speaker changes. They still sound great. In fact, I used one of them for the sound samples and pics for this Sweetwater article: www.sweetwater.com/insync/importance-mic-placement-guitar-amps/ Thanks! Don Carr

Had a Mesa Royal Atlantic, which had their individual channel power attenuator circuits in it. I found them to be next to useless. MUDDY sounding when you back off the power much...disappointing to me at the time. Oh...and my two cents' worth...FRIEDMAN. I have the BE-50 deluxe and gig it regularly. Total bliss.
