I had a Walkabout head for a bit but couldn't get what I wanted from it. I was using a Barefaced 212 + horn ( Big Twin? Super Baby? ) and they didn't seem to get along. Beautiful thing,though, well put together and faultless even after 10-15 years.

I've had mine since October. It's a KILLER! Loads of punch and headroom and heft, if I may say it, simple and brilliantly effective EQ. The hpf is something I'd never really thought of before, but it's a really useful shaping tool which fattens up the bottom end beautifully if counter- intuitively. Who knew that removing bass improved the low end? Everyone bar me, it would seem. I'm not a technical fella so this amp is perfect for me. Just switch it on and it sounds great. Fiddle around and it just sounds greaterer. Build quality looks to be as good as it gets, though time will tell, I guess. As for extras, I'm particularly taken with the USB out which I use to power my tuner. It sounds good through every cab I've put it through. I did some European shows back end of last year with a venue supplied cab at each. No issues with any of 'em, not even the beaten 90's Laney 410 at one nor the ancient Marshall 115 I ended up with at another. I'm the UK I use it with either a Barefaced 210 or 610 and it cooks, fellas, lemme tell ya. I'm doing a UK club tour with Atomic Rooster starting 19th of this month (Coming to town near you!)and I'm planning on using both cabs together. We'll see how that pans out. I'll finalise that set-up during rehearsals next week. I'll keep you informed... Shug

Man, you couldn't get stuff this good for £50, even back in the 70's when I was starting out. You might do better putting it on Marketplace or Gum tree or whatever - everyone on here (me included) is either too old ( me ), too lazy ( me again) or too rich ( not me, sadly) to be bothered with full fat, old school stuff like this. A set of 3" castored, braked wheels can be had on eBay for £20 or less. Strip that rat-fur off and a bit o' paint and you'll have a great cab for well below £100. Bargain!

Not sure I'd be that worried about the orientation but what's with the old style badging? Not that it isn't a cool logo, mind... EDIT: I've read the full article now. Didn't know they offered that service. I wonder if 'd be up for sending me a new logo. I've got one of each and wouldn't mind an matching...

Hi Rob, as you've seen, I've only gone and bought one, ain't I? It was your approval and @agedhorse being involved - I've seen his stuff on Talkbass and he knows his pigeons - what swung it for me in the end. Looks like I be selling some amps an' ting soon. At this money, it's gonna have to be better sounding than both the Demeter pre + power amp rig AND the Genz Benz Shuttle or back to Thomann it goes. Spec looks perfect for my needs , though, and I dig the cosmetics. I'll keep you informed. Got me a gig in Ulverston tomorrow so it's gon' make its debut there. We'll see...

I bagged the last one from Thomann - ordered early hours of Saturday morning - and it arrives tomorrow, just in time for the weekend's shows. I'm trying to be cool about it but, well, y'know...

I'm keen to check one of these out, for sure, but I wish you'd asked ME what features to include as then this otherwise perfect looking amp would have at least one 9 volt output on the back to power a tuner ( or other) pedal. That's got to be a good, useful and relatively cheap feature, surely? I don't want you to feel too bad about it, though; I've been playing for 50 years, owned scores of amps and only just thought of it myself... Next time, maybe...

@agedhorse Are you involved in writing the manuals? Mesa manuals are consistently the best I've seen - low on marketing -speak, NO bullshit acronyms and full of actual useful pointers for real-world use. Well done , whoever it was. I can see one of these featuring heavily in my life very soon.
