Cute!  Too many knobs, but I guess the layout is pretty simple really.

I'm sure it'll prove plenty popular. Bet it's mighty expensive, though.

I like the sound of them, just never had the need for one.  A 25w version I could actually use...

yeah i'm guessing this'll be around the £1200 mark, as i said on music radar... at US prices they sorta make sense, at (what I expect will be) UK prices... o_O

Well, that's just nifty. Not my cup of tea, but it makes things interesting.

Dyna Watt switching? I see it mentions Triode operation for 10watts or "dynawatt" for 25watts? I'm guess Dynawatt operation (class a/b still) is different to pentode operation and that switch isn't just a triode/pentode switch.

I'm kind of surprised they went with the EL84, I don't know why but I'd have thought mesa would have gone down the 6V6 route.

Cute mean machine. I'm not a Mesa-fan, but anxious to hear this little monster. Selling price around 1200 euro would be reasonable.

It's odd, but understandable. Early break-up in low-wattage amps lets you pretend it's one of the big boys.
