bassmayhem Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 First a big box arrived after a long wait. I ordered it in October from a Swedish shop. I could have got it faster overseas, but I really wanted the 5 year warranty from the Swedish shop. I know Mesa had some issues previous with their gear... Under some supervision - kind of - from the Very Hairy King of the Basement I unpacked the amp... Then stacked upon the Genzler BA12-3 cabs for a test... /2krE48y]2021-01-12 - MESA 1[/url] by Roger Hedin, on Flickr Well, it sounded as I could expect. Not at all like my Spartan or Genzler amp, but more like a tube amp. It takes some tweaking to get things right, not just set and forget. I like it. 8 Quote

bassmayhem Posted January 16, 2021 Author Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) This is really another creature than those amps I am used to use... Mostly, when using an amp, I just plug and play. With this one I have to tweak, tweak, tweak. Maybe an imaginary thing, but I feel it sounds different from time to time... 🤔 Edited January 16, 2021 by bassmayhem Quote

bassmayhem Posted January 27, 2021 Author Posted January 27, 2021 A friend described the tone in this amp with one word: "clanky"! It is, kind of, compared to my Spartan... Quote
Steve Browning Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Interesting phrase. Are you disappointed with it? I found it took me a time to get to grips with the 400 eq when I first got it. Take some time to see how it all works. Quote

I listened to the DVD Rush in Rio tonight, and the tone Geddy has is kind of clanky too, just way sharper... 1 Quote
bassmayhem Posted January 31, 2021 Author Posted January 31, 2021 Well, now I've tamed the beast. It really sounds nice. Another nice. But nice. I like it. 1 Quote
