Quite like the look of this.
Don’t particularly like the blue one at the top of the page, but the all-blonde/beige ones further down are super dreamy. I’d hit it

The blue one at the top of the page is perfection, the others look OK. Definite GAS.

Agreed, and it is 6V6, with the multiwatt gizmo--perfect. I would even take it in the blue.

For once I have to agree with Mr Blueway, despite its baby blue colour it appeals to me.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Typical of Mesa demos mind.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

I might be in the minority but I put zero stock into what an amp sounds like on a YT demo... unless it's Dan & Mick using it. I do rate their opinions and responses to a piece of gear more as I feel like they're probably the most genuine guys that 'demo' gear on the toob.

That is a sexy looking amp. I'd love a Rectifier in that getup.
