First impressions as follows:
1. You can definitely play this at home/bedroom levels no trouble at all. Not only does each channel have a master, but the effects loop has 2(!) volume controls. Super easy to control.
2. The clean channel is well known for doing blackface/twin kind of thing and that is right.
3. The drive channel is well known for being bassy, muddy and sounding like a blanket has been put over it. I haven't really found that though. I can make it sound like that, but it mostly doesn't. There is quite a lot of variety in the drive channel and I have got loads of sounds out of it. I haven't really got that perfect 'SRV' tone out of yet though.
4. The 'thick' and 'thicker' switches are wrongly named imho. They bring on degrees of upper mid frequency focus.
5. The reverb is subtle as far as I can tell, but because the knobs are round the back I haven't twiddled them much.
6. Yes, it is massively heavy!
I plan to rehouse this into a hardwood and wicker head and 1 x 12 cab - might take some time!

Someone is going to build the headshell for me and the loose plan is to copy Mesa's own dimensions for the head version.
It does have a built in fan if that helps.

I feel like a Lonestar head might be a good candidate for the "just one amp" type philosophy?
