Does this settle any arguments?

mesa still makes great shit. i got my first mesa in 1981. my boy doc has done countless world tours with the brains and sparky (his triple wreck) w/ zero issues.

i literally smoked my fender zinky dual professional on saturday and replaced it with my mesa mk25> mesa thiele w/ a ev 12l and went right back to tracking.

wanna start poking holes in a rig? put a 7 w/ a low a thru it.

My best friend ordered a new MkV:25 and it arrived dead. Sent it back for a refund. Had another one shipped from a different shop, that one also arrived dead. Got his money back again and found a used 90w MkV head on Craigslist and that one has worked flawlessly.

EXACTLY what I'd expect. maybe 3db of peak volume difference. the 50 watt amp was pushing a TON more lows and mids through the same speaker.

It seems as though they have fired Randall Smith, now.

I don't care one iota about Mesa, but Cesar Gueikian seems more intent on destroying competitors than in bringing universal joy to the music world.

I have had my own personal interactions with him that have left me wary.

I had the Fillmore 50 combo for two weeks. I sounded amazing at home. However I couldn’t hear it for the life of me in a band mix. Tried multiple settings. It just never cut through for me. Got a 1982 music man rd50 112 combo with a ev12l and happy as a pig in…it’s a tiny cab, but it cuts in a mix like nobodies business without being harsh.

I have my LP Special in A Standard for doom riffing, and my Hiwatt DR103 and Reeves DR504 never spring a leak. Even when hit with very hot distortion and fuzz pedals they kick like a mule with incredible definition.

People talk often about piano like clarity from guitar amps, well after getting my two Custom 100's I know exactly what that sounds like.

Mesa/Boogie began as a small amplifier repair shop and was founded 55 years ago in 1969, in Mill Valley, CA by Smith who simultaneously respected and improved the vintage classics with his inventions. Smith’s ear for tone, passion for tube technology, and vision for building handcrafted high-performance amplifiers continues to redefine how we experience sound...

As Exp Wino's video post clearly demonstrates, Go big. I rest my case.
