Recently sold my Mesa. The Warden made me consolidate due to mounting pile of toys I seem to have acquired recently. My Ovation sounded like raw meat thru the Mesa gear. I no longer gig or have 'smokey' sessions, so I dumped the stage gear to a friend who will use it. ( growing up sucks) But I still can plug in when I want.
I went with the microstack because of the price (and ability to hide from the warden) The SG and I can still wake the neighbors. I seem to blast a riff or two in the garage when I get frustrated with a project. Bloody knuckles can produce the heaviest chops.
