So I had the shop agree to $600 USD cash out the door, but then for some weird reason I couldn't withdraw my money from any ATM so I ended up taking it for $675 out the door, on the credit card. Thank you to everyone who's been talking down these amps as it enabled me to get one for a bargain! I actually paid ($100) more for my Express 5:50 when I bought it used last year.
Its actually a 2x12 and while it doesn't have a footswitch included, it doesn't matter much as I plan to keep it in the house and mostly use for recording. It also is by far my heaviest amp which is the main reason I'm unlikely to gig with it.
Having an Output knob as well as a Master volume for each channel makes this a tameable beast!
You guys were right. This amp can nail the Marshall sound while also being able to do the classic Fender clean and Mesa Recto sound. Makes me realize that the Burn channel on my 5:50 Express is more of a Mark III/Mark IV sound than a Recto sound.
If anyone has suggestions for aftermarket foot-switches for the channel select and solo on/off, let me know!
