What are your opinions on the Mesa F-50?

[boonhogganbeck]

I'm interested in checking one of these out. I like to play all kinds of music. I had a .50 calibre once and didn't care for it. All it could do was very clean or extremely high gain. Does the F 50 do a nice crunch, or a nice bluesy overdrive?

Thanks in advance!

from what i can tell, the f series seems to be a re-release of the dual calibers with the countour (v) built in
but i'm no amp expert

I've heard it's clean channel, and it sounded pretty good, sort of a variation on fender blackface tone. Didn't hear it's overdrive channel, though I'm told the higher gain settings with the contour switch on are more recto-like than mark-like.

UK Guitarist practically came all over the f50 when reviewing it last year.
