Tman Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 For my back. The new one is much lighter. I love Mesa amps and this one is fabulous. Killer overdrive at low volume but plenty of power for even outdoor gigs. So sweet with the LP. My 2009 Stiletto Ace was 88 pounds. Here's the Stiletto Ace: Here's the new amp at 47 pounds: Here's from Mesa's site: Anyone else have experience with this one yet? I guess I'm just braggin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Wow, super nice amp. Watt setting by channel, effects/reverb bypass. Crazy stuff you can actually use. And yea, my 1x12 3/4 back cabinet weighs 45 pounds, the head itself is actually not that heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Nice amp! Congratulations dude. Howe does it sound? Have you tried it with humbuckers and single coils? From the pic I can say one thing: too many %$ controls and switches for my taste, but I guess once you've set it to your liking it must sound perfect.

Tman Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Thanks Riffster and Tgod: It looks complicated but really isn't (I used to play in the 70s and all I really know how to do is play clean and overdriven. No pedals!): It has 3 wattage settings for each channel 15,30 and 40. I played my only gig with it so far at 30W and it was plenty loud. Channel one is like a Vox AC30 (if I have that correct). Clean but with the pull master can be overdriven. Channel 2 has a gain setting so it can overdrive perfectly at a low volume. Channel 2 has Fender (tweed) -Bassman type setting, a Marshall setting and a Mesa Boogie setting. Yes I played a strat and humbuckers through it. Channel one mostly clean then footswitched to overdrive for a solo. Transatlantic. I personally love the Bristish sound which is why I got it.

Tman Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Nice score Tman! From where in the greater Los Angeles area did you acquire such a fine amplifier? Got it in Thousand Oaks. Great restaurants too down here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesguitar65 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Man, mesa boogie still makes really great sounding amps. I still have my '88 MKIII blue line 1x12 EV combo in cream tolex. Its fricken heavy and sounds amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
