Yeah I believe its this one:

Says 120 watts, if its the same one they're using. But its 2 x 8 ohm "Orange Voice of the World" speakers, not V30's.
And yes most likely we'll be mic'd up and have monitors. I don't expect to turn up that loud.

Yeah I would have liked to have played through a 4 x 12 but its a festival with shared backline for quicker changeover. You ever played your 5150 through a Mesa cab?

through a 4x12 that i believe was v30s. not sure. it wasnt my cab and to be honest i didnt like it. maybe i just dont 5150s with v30s. i dont know

Hmm so many people have said the Mesa is such a good amp, but I dunno if I can justify spending the money on one at the moment.

mesa is a great company. if you're ever interested, look for used gear. guitar center typically has some of the more popular mesa heads for a grand or less since the market is pretty flooded with them.

I don't know why I wrote "amp" lol I was actually talking about their cabs. And alot of people say my 6505+ sounds better than a Dual Rectifier or any Mesa head, so I dunno. Wouldn't mind trying out a Mesa head but more than happy with my 6505+ anyway. Got it second hand for almost half the RRP which I was pleased about.

both heads are great. just different really. i love my mesa. but my 5150 has THE metal tone. when it comes to cabs, i really dont think the mesa cab is anything special. you'd be better off using Avatar cabs or zilla cabs and making one to your preferred specs with whatever speakers you want. you'd save money too.

There should be no problems at all. Just don't time it. If I remember right, when Mesa first brought out the Mark V combo they were using a single 60w V30 in there, and running a 90w amp into it. Now they're using the C90. Going slightly over isn't going to blow anything provided you're absolutely cranking the master volume.

Yeah I always find the Mesa to be a bit too glassy or stiff sounding. With the 6505+ its got a bit of throatyness that I like, if its flubby I can tighten it up with a tubescreamer.

Hmm well I've yet to play through a Mesa cab so at the moment I can't tell. I have 2 x V30's in a Marshall 4 x 12 with 2 x stock G12T-75's but they haven't broken in yet. Have read about Zilla cabs, but I could just put 2 more V30's into my existing cab if I chose to.

Yeah it was fine, so speaker issues, it was a 16 ohm 120 watt after all, but not the Jim Root sig. The volume was only on 2. Stage volume was actually alright, albeit the tone being a bit ice-picky, but I wanted to cut through above the bass.
