Haha, I ruffled a few Mesa feathers here. Ok, I take it back....Mesa ain't hype.
Speaking of Mesa, I prefer the lower wattage and slightly lower gain ones (old skool lah). More suitable for home use. If got chance, I certainly like to try out the Express 5:25 combo (new 1x12 version) and the LoneStar.
Plus 1

Like my 25w Studio.. Good enough for home, high potential for stage. Low gain? they are not low man. All the express, f series, which are decendants from the caliber series, are of MESA's dyna-watt technology. Bro - 6 12ax7 pre-amp tubes and 2 EL84 power tubes, couple it with your favourite drive pedal, and you are ready to go! You need space to crank up though, as of any other tube amp...
