I went to Atomic Music today because they usually do "secret' sales on the second Sunday of the month.
They had this for sale for $750:
I had brought some pedals to trade so I ended up paying $450 out of pocket. I could not pass on it! I really like this amp. It's one of Mesa's take on a Marshall type tone so it's right up my alley. It does have a British character but it still sounds like a Mesa to me. All 3 channels sound great. FX loop and reverb are really good too. I think this is going to be the "keeper" Mesa for me, because it does sit right in between Mesa and Marshall tones. Really happy with it.

Hahaha I could make a YT series. Kind of like Ola's "will it chug" but it would be "will he buy" with a little timer running to see how long it'd take for me to burn money at the store

Congratulations. These are great amps. I prefer the Electra Dyne slightly but yeah great mashup of Marshally and Mesa tones. Super cheap score!

This and the Electradyne are two Mesas I’ve always wanted to try.

Cool. Don't think I've ever seen one of these in person. Look forward to some clips at some point, man.

That's a nice, lush clean tone.
Dig the crunch/blue. It's marshally, but with a bit of that mesa smoothness too.
The red sounds very similar to the blue, with maybe a shade more bite but just as articulate.
Sounds great on all three, really. The Laney tower beside it really sets it off too.
