Paddy515 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Just had an early Xmas present - a used Mesa Powerhouse 115. Given to me early as I have a gig tomorrow night. How will a T.E. 250 GP7 sound through it with a valve pre-amp as havnt time to test it at volume? Anyone any ideas? Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Browning Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 You will note I am a little biased but Mesa cannot be beaten, IMHO of course. I anticipate big, fat and warm. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimike Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Bet it sounded Great ! ( if not, I still have room in my Christmas stocking.......... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) I got one with money from my B'day to go with my M9 head. Haven't had the chance to try them yet but I'm expecting good things. How was it on Friday night?

Paddy515 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 Hi - fairly mighty!!! I use a Fender ABY box to also play thru a smaller 12"/150 watt combo (with eq set fairly trebly) with the valve preamp just going into the TE head and mesa cab at a higher volume for a more dirty sound. The combination comes across really well. Loved it!!! Regards, Paddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzyvee Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I've had my mesa 1x15 since about 2004 and it's been a great cab and mainly used with a walkabout head. I can highly recommend those cabs. My only two reservations with them are: 1) for playing reggae, I find the off axis sound falls off at a short distance from the cab so really doesn't have enough umphf in the bottom end to have any authority for that genre. ( Other stuff where I need more full range sounds it works great.) 2) Now I'm gigging more often I'm finding the weight of them to be unpleasant. I'd still recommend them and with a 2x10 or 4x10 it's superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I have been a user of a PH410 drove by a Mesa Titan as a head. It was the best sound I ever have. Unfortunately when I moved I sold it, now I have a Mesa Prodigy with an EBS Neo 210, it's not the same at all, it's good but far from the sound I got with the PH, maybe it´s the combination of head and cabinet, I don´t know. Mesa has a premium tag but it worths it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
