I have long been a fan of Mesa Boogie Amps. I have had two of them. My First mesa was an original Duel Rectifier Head that i should never have gotten rid of. That amp was amazing, beautiful cleans with fierce distortion and crazy amountsof headroom. My second wasa 50w combo called F-50. It was a 1×12 and lasted me for years. I must have done 1000’s of gigs with that thing.
Back to today, I was looking on Mesa’s website and came across this cool amp. I have never seen it before and listening to the demos it sound FAT!!! nice clean, great rock and full on metal sounds. It is the New Mesa Boogie Triple TC-50. A 50w guitar amp in Combo, Head and rack mount formats.
Here is what Mesa Say
The new 3-channel, 50-watt, EL-34 powered Triple Crown™ TC-50™ from MESA Engineering® captures the essence of Rock with the ability to inspire new genres in a way only MESA® can. Emanating from the “other side of MESA” that spawned Rock’s iconic Dual Rectifier®, this new platform features a bold set of new circuits unlike anything else in our line.
From bubbly, sparkling clean sounds, rarely heard in this type of amp, to an amazingly tight and aggressive wall of Rock Crunch, to one of our most vocal, harmonically rich and gain-laden high-gain channels ever, the Triple Crown is aimed at Rock’s high-gain throne! Experience a new generation of Rock Royalty – The Triple Crown TC-50!
YOUR CHOICE OF PUNCH. EL34, 6L6, OR 6V6 POWER
Need versatility? The TC-50 features our handy BIAS SWITCH allowing you to swap the stock compliment of EL34s with the fatter, rounder sounding 6L6. For those who want a warmer, rounder response and more easily attainable power clip, 6V6s can also be used in the EL34 setting with a direct swap over, creating a “Half-Power” scenario that exudes a more bubbly, vintage voice and creamier top end harmonic content.
