Mesa 50/50

Okay...here's what I ended up winning on eBay...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130180709835&ssP...

I think I got a good deal since these retail for $1099 new. I should have it B-4 Christmas so I'll be able to give some feedback on how it sounds with the TLSE. I already had a Mesa Thiele 1x12 closed back cab(sounds like a 4x12)that fit under my Nomad 45 combo. Last week I picked up a Mesa 1x12 open back cab that is the same width so I'll be running 50 watts thru a 1x12 open back and 50 watts thru a closed back Thiele. I can't wait to explore all the stereo possibilities!!!!
Chico, thanks for the info on the 20/20...I thought about those but went for the 50/50 because of the lack of bottom end in the 20/20....and I think I got a better deal. More to come.
Merry Christmas!

Tim, Price paid is fair.

Tim,

Price paid is fair. Used power amps go for 1/2 of the original purchase price in great condition.

Just so there is no confusion wink ,...the "DEEP MOD" on the Mesa 20/20 power amp is not to add low end, but to remove the "Dynawatt" fuction of the amp. Dynawatt boosts the mids and some highs increasing wattage in that specified EQ range, The DEEP MOD removes that fuction to produce a normal full range sounding amp thats as sweet as the day is long. Plenty lows.

Chico, glad you cleared that

Chico, glad you cleared that 20/20 mod up for us...who knows what might happen down the road...I might hate the 2.50 and go for a 20/20...(after the wife cools down a bit) I found the info on how to do the mod you posted. Thanks again everyone!! TT

Tim,

You will love the 50/50. I have been using mine with the Tonelab for almost a year now and I love it. Stereo is the bomb!

cool LD....so give me some

cool LD....so give me some hints.....i.e.the presence control...I'm not sure how to set that....do you run line or amp out? How high do you run the levels? 6L6 or EL34? Can you run at half power? Thanks & Happy Newyear!!!
