New Mesa

[Skully]

Well, I didn't come away with what I thought I would but I'm VERY happy, I ended up with the 5:50 Express. Great tone, great reverb, for what I'm playing it sounds great. I also never realized that 50 watts of Class A is that loud, I wanted to dime it in the store before I brought it home but hit about 5 on it and said uncle...... Thanks to all the Mesa lovers who gave me input!!!!

An amp with only 1 watt can be pretty loud!

Congrats on the new amp. I used to have a Mesa F-30 combo that was pretty cool. I guess the new Express series pickups up where the F-Series left off.

It's 5 Watts in Class A mode, 50 Watts in Class A/B mode.

Nice amp.
I had a 5:25, and if it wasn't for the damn 10" speaker they decided to sell/market it with, I'd still have it.
If they would have had any 5:50's in stock (a year ago... all sold before they hit the floor) I would have bought one.

The reverb is killer, and from what I hear, the first tube reverb Mesa has decided to bother with.

Rich, warm, lush, a little or a lot.

Congrats!!!

Keep me (us) posted once you get to know her.

Jealous over here!!!!!

The reverb is very nice, another guy in the store who was a Stileto owner wanted to play my Jackson (said the neck looked nice!) and one of the first things he said was the reverb was awsome. It should be fun seeing what it will do after I get use to it, can't wait. I'm a newcommer to high end amps, so it's very exciting
