Mesa Maverick

Post by benoit »

wow........ I plugged into an old maverick dual recto today at the shop where I teach lessons... BEAUTIFUL. Gorgeous clean channel, that will get dirty if you push the master, but still lotsa headroom, and just beautiful lead channel, anything from almost-clean bark to creamy sweet overdrive. WOW. I want it. Seperate reverb on both channels, TMB tonestack, footswitch for channels, FX loop. Its a quad of EL84s I think. 2 v-30s, almost closed back, maybe 1/4 or 1/5 open. Pretty blonde tolex and the old school mesa grill. It has been a long time since I played an amp and said wow.

Anyone else had the pleasure?
