Triple consideration

This might be on the to-get list for 2017; MESA's TC-50. The head version lists for USD1,799 (MSRP). Worth it?

New gain

Mesa has a new baby. For gain junkies? For clean mongers? For both, actually. The TC-50 is touted to be both headroom-friendly for cleans & a gain monster once you switch channels. Add to that the ease of swapping power tubes for some voicing variety (bias select switch at your fingertips). I'm sure many amp geeks out there are good with their Mark V 25 but in my opinion this is worth checking out. Something to look forward to in 2017 😉
