Mesa F100 temptation (Edit: NAD lol)

[spawnofthesith]

I absolutely don’t need anymore amps, but this well loved F100 combo at my local used shop has been staring at me for a while. Price recently dropped to $425

Has a pair of V30s in it. Seems like those are worth nearly half the cost alone


Supposed to be on a self inflicted “pump the brakes” phase but should I do something dumb?

Looks like it's a fun amp, did you snag it?

[Zeegler]

I really liked my F-30. Seems like a great deal. Buy it, convert it to a head, sell the speakers.

You're asking us if you should buy some gear? You already know the answer you're gonna get.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!

[ninjaraf]

Yeah, why is this even a thread? Should be a NAD. GTFO til you have a NAD.

I was rather drunk when posting this. Resting up today before a gig tonight. I’ll probably go and at least test it out this weekend

I absolutely love this amp. I had the head and it was one of my all-time favorite Mesas.

[spawnofthesith]

Ok they just dropped the price to $375 I better go tomorrow

[spawnofthesith]

Can’t pass up too good of a deal so here I am. Local used shop kept plummeting the price on this. Brought in some remaining junker pedals off the shelf and out the door was $267

​Has 2x V30s which I’ve been wanting to grab some v30s anyway

So far sounds pretty awesome. Heavy and LOUD af. Even with -20db attenuation can’t go too high in the masters in my apartment lol

Surprised how well it sounds for heavy chugs considering the open back cabinet. Gonna have to test it into some closed backs as well. Clean channel is gorgeous. I like the distortion too not quite sure what to compare it too. I know the express was the circuit successor to these and I owned and loved a 5:50+ but this definitely has more gain available and is tighter. Oh and did I mention loud and heavy? :LOL:

Only bummer is no footswitch. Looks like I can still get one new from Mesa for $80 or a third party for like $60

Now we're talkin!!
