Finally a good demo of this amp. There are way too many demos just showing of the high gain. This review shows how versatile this amp is. Nice job.

I finally chose this amp after debating for several years. This demo sort of proves that all the folks who said it is just meh or that it’s not tuneful etc are wrong.

Regardless of what else is going on, that solo button really adds just the right amount of punch! Great sounds!

This is everything an amp review should be! Great work.

Wow.... amp heaven...right there in this beautifully crafted new Mesa. Now, all I need is a lotto win and the dream becomes reality!! Thanks for the demo and the great magazine guys.

Best demo of this amp on the web. Thanks for being up to the point and showing precisely what people want to see and hear.

By far the best playing demo of this amp! Well done! ..fantastic amp!

[jeremyjohnston]

Great amp. The Knaggs sounds incredible as always. Strat sounds like a Strat. Like the very best amps out there, the character of the guitar really does come through

This video ended up convincing me to grab a brand new TC50 head. not disappointed.

The Tight switch seems to be very useful, as well as the Solo one!

I recently bought a Mesa Mark V 25 and I have to say that one of the best advantage of Mesa amps is it have so much complexity in the harmonics you don't have to crank the gain all the up to find the sweet spot for a big and good "Californian distortion"!! And that is with this kind of high end amplifier you can understand how it's useful to keep a maximum of precision and definition in your sound, especially with high gain settings...
When you own a Mesa or a Soldano (or other awesome boutique amps) you definitely enter in a whole new world! That's amazing how a good amp can respond to your pick attack and finger style, and how it respect the natural guitar sound identity!!
And this new model is definitely my next amp, when I will earn all the cash I need for it...!! 🤘😊

Finally a Mesa that sounds like a good Marshall :)

[tomulator]

FINALLY! A useful demo of this amp...thx!

[jessetate]

This one or the 100 watts. Sounds good 👌 either ones u won’t be disappointed in getting. I play blues, classic rock, 80s hair, thrash metal, metalcore prog Metal!

[kilroy]

Excellent video, maybe the best I've ever seen.  You went through all the stuff clearly and methodically.  Thanks so much!!

[hiatuso]

Man, that is a gorgeous fat tone. Well done.

Way better than Mesas demos. Jesus they use way too much gain on this it sounds like complete shit. This video really highlights how good the amp actually sounds

[malcolmandthebends]

Really nice demo and sweet play in thanks
