Ok, not much to say that I haven't said about this amp, it's one of my favorite Mesas, but my taste in tone has changed a bit since I bought it, and these days it's just collecting dust in my hallway. Since I'm kind of gassing for a Roadster head anyway...
Three channels, two modes per channel, two seperate poweramp modes, and an adjustable clean solo boost make this thing a stupidly versatile gigging amp. The first channel has Clean (pretty Fendery, a bit of sparkle) and Pushed (the same basic sound, driven hard) at your disposal, the second channel is based off the Mark 1, with Vintage (sort of a woody, mid-heavy smooth lead sound) and Modern (think the same basic tone but with a bit of a V scoop - this gets pretty crunchy), and the third channel starts off in modded JCM territory (Vintage) with a dark, liquid lead voice, and ends up in near-Recto territory in 3 Modern.
This thing covers a LOT of tonal territory, from super-smooth Mark sounds all the way up to pretty damned close to a Rectifier, and is quite possibly the most versatile
Mesa (and, by implication, tube amp) I've ever played.
I've gigged with it occasionally, but most of the time this just got bedroom use. It's in rather clean shape (though I need to dust it
), a couple scuffs here and there but nothing major.
I'm looking $750, local pickup STRONGLY preferred (though, I'd be willing to drive a couple hours to meet someone halfway). I'm not really looking for trades, but I'll at least hear you out. If I do ship this, the buy pays actual shipping expenses.
I'll try to get pictures up tonight or tomorrow. In the meantime, if you have any questions let me know.
