Mezzabarba was kind enough to send me one of each amp to demo for the YouTube channel. I'm still pinching myself over this.

They showed up yesterday, shipped straight from Italy. I was personally more interested in the MZero as from their description, it sounded like it would suit me better. More open, raw, wild sounding. The Trinity is supposed to be more modern, fluid, compressed, and tight, with some nice features and 3 channels.

I plugged into both last night, starting with the MZero. Hit a few chords and immediately started laughing out loud. Probably one of the best tones I'd ever heard in my life. It reminded me very much of the new SLO 100 I just got, but has a more aggressive, pissed off mid thing going on, and is tighter in the low end. The gain also feels a bit more fluid than the SLO. All in all, it seems really similar to the famous Soldano, but with some vintage marshall characteristics. It is a VERY cool amp.

The Trinity is also fantastic. I'm not as excited about this one, only because I'm just really into the open and raw sounding high gainers. This one isn't super compressed, but is noticeably more so than the MZero. Both amps retain serious clarity under gain, and have a slight stiffness to them unless that gain is dialed up.

The one drawback to these amps is....they are extremely pricey. Most people won't even consider them due to the price tag, and I get that. Spending $4k on an amp, most people are going to go with names they know, Soldano, Friedman, Diezel. Etc... People even made comments on the price tag and what they'd rather buy on my Skill 30 video. But I think playing these amps would truly give you a different perspective.

I plugged into the MZero again today....shit eating grin came back instantly. I like a lot of amps, I love a few, but not many made me feel this giddy the first time I plugged into them.

Very nice Kyle. I saw a couple of demos of the Mezzabarba amps on youtube and they do infact sound VERY VERY nice.. congrats. looking forward to video clips.
 
That's a hell of a 2 for 1.....I've heard nothing but killer reviews on the Mezzo stuff. Only drawback is 'if' they need to move, it takes some time because of the relative few that are out there..but from what I've read they deserve to be in a top 10 of high gainers.
 
I have a masotti x100m I’d throw your way if you got that vh4s you don’t like :)
 
I know that feeling. Had the same response the first time I plugged into my first pitbull.
If I was still buying amps,I would want a Mezzabarba.
 
I had an MZero. Great tone, but to me the bottom end was not tight at higher gain settings. Just like an SLO.
 
The clips I have heard even of the Skill are incredible but that price tag is a killer here in Canada
As far as a tighter slightly more modern SLO i have always felt the KSRs do that well
Do you find similarities between a Mezza KSR now that you have had both
 
Not only killer sounding alps but they also are some of the best looking amps ever! Lol.
Very cool they sent you these.

Do either have the High Gain and Low End mod my Nirvana has?
 
Wow guys. Just put the amp through it's paces for the last hour and I'm seriously blown away. It sounds so damn good. Like the slo but less smooth, more upper mid aggression. A little more marshally, if you will. Totally in love at this point.

Agreed. They look like they were made by Ferrari.

Kyle great review , great tones as always
Would you say that something like a
KSR ares w 34s or 6ca7. Would get in the ballpark ?

These both seem to be stock offerings so I don't think so! Would love to hear that nirvana preamp after hearing these!

Thanks man!

I can't speak to the Ares as I haven't played or heard them. I didn't really get Soldano vibes from my Orthos playing it originally but after playing my jet city and the ksr back to back, I can definitely see the connection.
