Not a ’regret’ sale. Profiled and captured and I’m done with it now. Fantastic amp that needs no boost, gain on 10 Crunch and it will sing. I’ve got another amp inbound and need to move this one. Nothing but love for this amp.
Forgive if I’m misunderstanding, the only thing I’m regretting is having to sell it in the first place.

I’m so sorry - that’s what I meant: an amp that sounds so killer that one day you wished you had it back!Not a ’regret’ sale. Profiled and captured and I’m done with it now.

Really great price for your RT brethren. GLWS!!

I wish they'd put 16 ohm inputs on these! I have 2 16ohm cabs.. I know Mesa cabs are 8, but c'mon... I would have bought one by now!

In case you guys ever list on Craigslist or other Marketplaces this is a scam that has been around for a while but is still actively being pulled. I also have this listed on my local Craigslist and literally within a few minutes of the listing hitting I got scammers hitting me up with this BS.
Them: Hey is amp still for sale?
Me: Yes
Them: I need to send you six digit code to verify if you are real, ok?
Me: I’m real. Call me.
Them: Six digit code, ok?
Me: Ok. (wondering what they will send)
… receives “Google Authenticator” code number via separate text.
Them: Enter code, ok?
Me: Goodbye.
Apparently they are trying to hijack your phone number and register it with a Google Voice account. Beware.

Yeah. Don't ever fall for the "Code" thing or any other request for YOU to prove who you are and that you are a legit seller.
If this is not in the Stickies it should be added as a PSA.
I really wish I could grab this but I keep telling myself I don't need any more amps.

The Badlander 50 is really the only Mesa amp that I think I'd really like. Hmmmm.....

I'm both relieved and bummed that you're keeping it. I thought about it all night and was ready to pull the trigger. Damn curiosity.

That’s a decision you WON’T regret! Such a great amp. Like the best possible OG JCM800 with the option of more gain on tap if and when you need it.

I'm glad you decided to keep it as well since I was seriously thinking about pulling the trigger and get it myself
