Members Elias Graves Posted April 8, 2010 Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 This looks pretty cool. Spammy ad copy: Legendary Mesa Boogie tone in a lunchbox-size amp. The Mesa Boogie TA-15 amplifier head packs all the footswitchable performance, including a patented multi-watt channel assignable power, found in high-end full-size amps, and offers the most classic British and American sounds in a beautiful package that weighs only 12 pounds. The guitar amp head's 2 channels feature 5 modes that cross the Atlantic with ultimate finesse and flexibility, creating the most portable all-tube gig companion ever. Choose a preamp style in each channel and then select the perfect power for it from the tube amp head's 3 super-expressive output choices: 5W Single-Ended Class A, 15W Class A or 25W of patented Dyna-Watt power. The channel modes start off with lower-gain normal and higher-gain classic versions of the iconic top boost sound in Channel 1, which includes an ingenious pull master on the cut control that can be hard-bypassed for purists. Channel 2 houses 3 modes: a gorgeous tweed clean, a British high-gain in Hi 1 and a classic Boogie Lead in Hi 2. All this tone and performance comes to you travel-ready in the Mesa Boogie amp head's sturdy padded gig bag that holds both power cable and footswitch, and allows easy access of the retractable handle. So prepare for a smooth crossing as you enjoy the best of both sides of the pond with the Mesa Boogie TransAtlantic tube amp head. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ So you get several amps in one. Like a modeller, only real. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Flogger59 Posted April 8, 2010 Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 Tried at NAMM, want. Both channels can be set to drive, the power scaling really works, a nice articulate gain sound, and a Vox vibe on Ch 1.Pricey, no reverb, no loop, but for the tone, size and versatility, I like it.

Members Elias Graves Posted April 8, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 Yeah, $900 and no reverb? What gives? Having Vox, Fender, Marshall and Mesa sounds all in one box, though. Pretty neat and it's not even digital. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vintage clubber Posted April 8, 2010 Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 how much do those go for? I was looking at an old issue of Fender Frontline last night from 2006 I think and thought the Vibro King looked like an awesome rig. Then I looked at MF this morning and saw that it has a $3500 price tag! Talk about major sticker shock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Griffin Posted April 8, 2010 Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 High gain amp + no loop = no buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ugameus Posted April 8, 2010 Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 I am very intrigued by this little amp. I love my Mesa and would love to have one of these. But 900 bucks? I don't think so. I would rather spend a few hundred more and buy a Goodsell Blackdog. If this Transatlantic were 5 or 6 hundred, I would be all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
