New Mesa Triple Crown

Seen this first thing this morning on my phone. Kinda expected it to be posted on here by now, so:

Sounds great, is this the new daddy of the Mesa line? Bet it costs a lot of green

The first thing that strikes me - Mesa know how to make classy looking amp.

Secondly, some those sounds are very good.

Thirdly, isn't it essentially doing what a MkV is supposed to do?

I imagined it was replacing the Dual Rec line which oddly enough I was talking about and Googled to see if there was any updates on that but I actually now after chatting to a mate think this may be more likely a Stilleto replacement. 

For what my opinion is worth.

Want! For what I do Mesa amps have always been the best, can't wait to try one of these

A lot of great options and looks relatively small too. That first video high gain tones ain't doing it for me though.

So what are we expecting in the UK?


I'll guess £2199.

I guessed £2300 earlier so I'll stick with that. 

What's the wager? I say a free "Wow". :-)

You're probably closer - my guess was based on only a 50% markup over the straight dollar conversion, so probably not high enough.

A free Wow sounds good to me, no-one ever seems to give me those . Or maybe still won't!

ThePrettyDamned

I'll go for £2400. 

Sounds decent though. Looks handsome!

Looks great and sounds great. Want!
I enjoyed Laurence Llewelyn Bowen demonstrating the reverb capabilities... who knew?

The Triple Crown page on Mesa's website seems to suggest the same

http://mesaboogie.com/amplifiers/electric/triple-crown-series/triple-crown-tc-50/index.html

"Emanating from the “other side of MESA” that spawned Rock’s iconic Dual Rectifier®, this new platform features a bold set of new circuits unlike anything else in our line."

Nice to see them doing a rack version.
Makes touring much easier.

That looks bloody great

It's a bit like my Blackstar HT Stage 60...

A comparison...

The Mesa Bass Prodigy 4:88 is $1899

UK RRP is just under £3K now.

So I'm going to guess at £2599

Head £2450, Combo £2750

$1799 = £1444.

So it's 70% more expensive in the UK. Only one of us guessed that high, and that's even knowing that Mesas are overpriced here.

I can safely state that I will not be buying one.


NB, I'm not blaming the retailers.

that clean + drive mode with the strat sounds tasty!
