If I keep the power on 5 except for band practice on weekends, does that weaken the tubes because some of them are on more than others are? :|

Mesa's are all handbuilt in california. They have a five year warranty and can absolutley give you any sound you want. IF your into the birtish sound like a marshall then look into thier stilletto. Its EL34 tone at its best. The roadking two delivers the american 6L6 and you can also mix the 6L6's w/El34's to get what I beleive is baddest tone for metal on the face of the earth. Go to their website and they will send you a free catalog. The stilletto is midrange. the road ismassive lowend.

I think you're supposed to place the mike at the edge of the speaker, angled toward center.

I tried the 5:25 today at Guitar Center, and I must say, I am in love. I will buy this as soon as I get the cash (twil be a while, since I only get $10 a week :D).

i need to save some money first n then iam going for the 5:25, purely amazing sound. i had a dream this night about this amp and me playing it lol

I have a new 1 by 12 5:25, simply amazing, every sound imagineable, go for one, you wont be disapointed. I also have a Mk2b woodie, mk4 woodie, lonestar classic (best clean in the world IMHO!) and a stilletto trident head. The express sounds just as good as all of the above, dare I say a little better in some departments. The boxyness of the mk serie is history! Hope this helps, good luck!

I have 5 MESA'S, two blackface Fenders and two vintage Orange(Matamp) amps not to mention a matchless and several Marshalls. To be honest a as professional musician Mesa/Boogie is far superior to the rest in every way posible, tone, reliability, headroom, versatility etc. The others are great because they remind us of the classic/familiar tones we grew up on,classic tones of the past but to be perfectly honest there is no comparison IMHO.
