VERY keen to know what those are going to cost. Probably the same as the Transatlantic, still a lot of cash but this sorts out the problem of cranking your amp (to a certain extent). Wonder if it's going to sound as big as the 50/100w through a 4x12 - that's the real test imo.
Looking forward to some demo's.
There is allready an argument on other forums about this.
They believe the amp will be $1000.00 to $1100.00 and that is for a 25W Recto sounding amp running on EL84's.
Their argument is : why buy a 25watt model for 1.1K (before tax), when you can get a 100W Recto on the used market for $800.00 to $900.00, in good cond. ?
With Mesa's, it is not about getting power valve drive, as these amps get most of their tone/gain from their pre-amp section anyways.
So why need a low wattage model, when the mojo is gomming from the pre-amp secton anyways ?
No need to get those power valves cooking like an old non master vol Plexis.
Also, many agree that it is the older Rectos (the ones going for less than 1K used) that sound the "best", before Mesa started to chop and change the models, left, right and center.
Lets see what happens.
