Members sylvestre Posted July 5, 2014 Members Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hi, I plan to buy a Mesa Express 25 plus and wondered if I could have a clean sound with it similar to the Princeton? What do you think? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members onelife Posted July 5, 2014 Members Share Posted July 5, 2014 I don't have much experience with the Express 25 but I do have a Mesa Boogie Subway Blues and a Silverface Princeton Reverb. The biggest differences I notice between the amps is the amount of midrange and the fact that the Boogie breaks up a lot sooner than the Princeton. The Boogie is also a lot noisier (it has solid state components in the signal path) and, as a result, is not a good recording amp. The Subway Blues only has one channel and does not have a Master Volume. From what I know of the Express 25, it effectively has four different channels, one of which is voiced for "clean" so I would suspect that by keeping the gain down on that channel while reducing the amount of midrange will get you in the ballpark. If you had a chance to A/B them and do some tweaking then I think you will be able to get close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
