I tried the 1x12 combo version of one of these overe the weekend

It blew me away.
By far the easiest Mesa to dial in I have ever tried.
I honestly think Light might possibly like this one. No joking.
This is Mesa's take on the modified Marshall sound.
If you look at the front controls you will see a volume and Master, but no gain. The volume is the gain. So don't think you have to crank it to get a great sound. The volume knob should be labeled drive or gain or pre, just not volume.
This demo doesn't do it justice, it sounded better in person. But you can still get the picture.

Also, pay attention to that gain cut switch in the back. If you have it in Hi/low, you won't get much gain out of the hi gain setting. It needs to be off or in clean.
I am selling my Road King to get one of these.
The clean was incredable. Headroom for days if you want it.
Lo had a great mid gain breakup perfect for classic Rock,
Hi would do hard rock and venture into Metal territory.
The amp was tight as hell. Great for muted palm stuff.
You guys gotta try one of these
