so I wound up financing a new gigging amp for smaller gigs and at home playing and decided to get the 5:50 by Mesa Boogie for its size and weight and power.
I plugged it in and WOW the cleans are round and amazing just like my Traynor YBA-1. I kicked on my Big muff and then my vox bulldog distortion and they sound big and beefy through this small 1x12. I increased the contour knob (not really sure what this knob actually does) and it made the amp sound big and room filling even at medium volume.
Could not be happier as this amp is replacing a Deville 2x12 and a Bugera 6262 which both did not suit my setup at all.
I have owned a Lonestar Special before and really liked it but not enough to keep it , this amp on the other hand has the sound of my Traynor stack just in a smaller package... could not ask for more right now!
