Me tooCool! Excited to hear what you think of it. :)
You still hanging onto the Badlander?
I saw an Electra Dyne combo pop up for like $850 locally but I really don’t know anything about the amp. Is this more suited to not-metal/hard rock?
It's not a high-gain amp on its own, though it takes boosts/drives really well on both the blue and red channels. The blue has about as much gain as a JCM800, though not near as bright an amp, and the red a bit more. I sometimes describe it as a JMP preamp welded to a Mark Simul Class power amp sort of thing. It's like a vintage Marshall vibe with Mesa low mids and insane power.
This has the Fortin 33.Jesus that's pretty classic rocky![]()

What boost are you using with it?
OofThis has the Fortin 33.
The amp has mega lows like a Recto in a way.
So, seriously. From what I have read; the taper of the master control is idiotic. I wonder if anyone ever tried replacing it for something more gradual? Supposedly 7:30ish is like "oh" and 7:35 is "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"Here's a review from when it first came out.
Love this:
"Mesa’s amps deserve their reputation for being on the loud side. The Electra-Dyne might be one of the loudest I’ve ever heard."
