Yep, the Mesa is a solid Marshall alternative alright. I got my minirec, ironically, for the same price as the mini-jube's RRP. It was used at GAK, but looked pretty much brand new when it turned up the next day.
I hate to derail this thread, but something's been nagging me. My Mesa has a solid-state rectifier, I guess a diode bridge. How does it get that lovely "sagginess"? Do they deliberately throttle the HT? I've a background in analogue electronics, but it was a long time ago
That's true, and the 50W Jubilee combo is quite trebly-sounding even with a V30 in it, but this one should still sound fuller than it does in the video.

I agree with ICBM, there's a LOT more promise in the sound there, even on a smartphone mic - the Anderton's vid was the same.
Some tasty playing as well, looked as though the amp put a smile on your face? What's the verdict?
I'm sure it will sell well, though...
That's really not helped my GAS.
Why it was beyond the wit of Marshall's marketing to make a video like this I don't know. Boogie's promo videos are great - they get the designers involved, even Randall Smith puts in an appearance from time to time. I appreciate that Jim's not going to appear in a video any time soon, but couldn't they have got a few people involved in making the amp, got a few different players? Something you could get your teeth into? I know the Boogie vid pretty much sold me the minirec.
Ho hum. Hopefully this Marshall will sell a shed load and they'll be all over the classifieds for bugger-all in about two years.
