There was Mesa bar stool in the video.... I kind of want one.

If you find one. Let me know. I want 2 of them myself. Serious

Wow that sounds great. Probably the best Sweetwater demo I've heard yet.

Not crazy about the leadtone around 8min. Way too saturated and fuzzy. Reminds me of my Carvin V3M (that I sold right after getting the Engl Ironball).
Other tones do sound great though.

Very nice amp/features. Curious how much € it will be . . . will definitely try it.

No 16ohm speaker jack

Can someone post a review?!....I know one of us has had a chance to play this amp. I am intrigued.

Mesas are usually 8 ohm. No reason you can't use a 16 ohm cab. I do with my Mark IV.

I know but when I tried that on my JP2C it drastically changed the tone.

I got to try one out very briefly. All three channels sounded great. The high gain sound was thick, but tight enough for metal (I had the bass turned almost all the way down through a Mesa 4x12). It probably would have been even better with a boost, but I was pretty impressed as it is. It's not a very bedroom friendly amp, though, and since I'm a bedroom player I probably won't be looking to get one myself.

The master volume didn't help at all? This will really bum me out and I have one on order. I didn't think the JP2C sounded good until you hit around 10 o'clock which was too loud for me. I was really hoping this one was different. My v:35 sounds great at any volume.

The volume I tried it at was already too loud for what I would play in my apartment, but not full band volume. I don't remember where the output was exactly. It did sound good, but sounded like a boost would have been good to get it even tighter. I got to turn it up loud (up to noon) very briefly which made it sound great. Going from kind of loud to loud made a bigger difference in tone for the TC than my Mark V, which sounds more consistently good as you turn the volume knob. You should try it yourself at home, though, and judge for yourself.

Was the gain and tightness of the TC as tight as the Mark V? That's the one thing I love about my Mark V is that I really don't need a boost to get a good tight trash metal tone.

Mesas master volumes leave a lot to be desired. Do the different channelodes have sharp volume jumps like vintage/modern does on a recto? You could always put an EQ pedal (like the mesa graphic EQ) in the loop, leave it flat and use it to cut the return volume...

It was not as tight as the Mark V, but it could pull off a pretty good metal tone at high volume without a boost. The Mark V has a tighter, more fluid and saturated gain and more forward pick attack.

I'm not quite sure if I understand what you're saying, but I think all amps have a volume jump to some degree...?

I just spend four hours with the amp using my Les Paul with JB.... Into a recto 2x12 cab. I checked out the entire range of what it can do.
What do you want to know about it ???

What I mostly gathered from the video is that I don't like modern metal riffs.
