I ran mine into a Mesa Thiele cab that worked really well with it.I contacted the company by email, early last summer about this amp as well as their cabs. I wanted to know about Canadian availability and distribution.
They replied they were working on that issue and hoped to have product available by the Fall.
It’s Winter now, heading to Spring. I wonder if the Canadian market means anything to them. My money keeps going to other manufacturers products. This happens to be an amp that I believe should be owned by me. Their cabs look interesting as well.
What made you part with it?I owned the original for awhile, really killer piece of gear. This definitely sounds terrific too.
Probably whatever was nextWhat made you part with it?

I since bought a Mesa widebody, closed back with a C90, for the time being.
The problem with being in Canada is that these types of units are not readily available to try out.I also picked up a Mesa Express 5 25 plus combo. I really like this gear, and bought it to be more versatile, also more mobile.
@Budda knows me better than mostWhat made you part with it?
I've been searching out something fairly lightweight to play at home or haul around and have tried some SS gear,but whenever I plug into a Mesa I start smiling.I tripped over the Mesa gear for good deals, barely used, a few months old. The combo now has a Jensen Neo in it. It is now 5-6 pounds heavier than a Fender Princeton Reverb, and basically the same footprint
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about it. I almost bought it from Dave, when he was selling it.These are really awesome! I sold mine to Mr Dave, and actually bought it back in regret. Still have it. It’s the original version, but it sounds and feels awesome. It sent my helix packing.
I'm still regretting it, LOL.These are really awesome! I sold mine to Mr Dave, and actually bought it back in regret. Still have it. It’s the original version, but it sounds and feels awesome. It sent my helix packing.

Every single time I've shipped expensive items to the US for repair, I've been dinged with import duties and taxes upon its return. Contested all of the charges, was never able to get my monies back. I rarely buy anything from the US anymore. Besides, I want to support Canadian businesses.The problem with being in Canada is that these types of units are not readily available to try out.
Same with Quilter.
I think Mesa makes great stuff too.
My last big amp was a Mark V,but I'm looking for lightweight too.
The good thing with the Mesa line for me is I have a topnotch Mesa tech fairly close by if I ever need repair.
Bluguitar and Quilter would be a lot harder to get serviced in a timely fashion.
They would also have to be shipped to the U.S. which is another pain.
Wow you must really like the quarterhorse to compare it with these amps! I am less than impressed with mine, bought a YCV 20 WR that really works for me but I don't think it compares to the amps these guys are using or looking for. That is why there is so many different amps out there, everyone is looking for something different to suit their needs.I think this thing is amazing as well. Did a whole bunch of research after seeing your original post.
I will say though, my traynor quarter horse for the money I think is the best bang for the buck. I would obviously say it doesn’t compete with this particular product. It is pretty amazing for what it does. And it $99 with an even smaller footprint and 1 more effect, it really fits the lightweight portable amp category .
