New 25w Badlander with el84s!

Lol, and just like that, we have the official amp of TGF

Yep - I think it is for sure.

@DrewJD82 - you should alert Mesa and get them to donate a free Badlander to do a special give away here! I’d love a second one.

I wish Mesa would do something cool instead of EL4 baby versions of their current lineup

Yeah, I am so underwhelmed by this. It seems Mesa has this small, medium, large thing
going across their entire amp lineup.

Fuck! I'd rather see a re-introduction of the Trans-Atlantic series than this. But no one asked
me.

Your description of that amp was pretty enticing. I also dig the looks of it. Haven't really heard much about it beyond that though.

I’d bitch about the price but I suppose looking at the Marshall 20w‘ers these look like a value.

But on second thought, to bitch about the prices, are the magic diodes in this? I bought my 100w Fireball for a hundred more new, and it’s an import.

I can’t quite pinpoint the moment when I became a price watching tight a*s. I hate what I’ve become.

I've known about this for awhile, and have been holding it in like a fart. It's nice to finally see it announced.

I live on the TA-30 model in Amplitube. The Tweed and Top Boost settings are SO good.

They'd just read the posts and say "There's a guy on here who just bought a 2nd one, we don't need to give them anything when they're already buying two of the same thing!"

Hahaha…

Dammit JT! LMAO.

Haha! Someone's heading toward an imminent Trifecta!

Any idea why it's not shown on Mesa's own website?

Because the assclowns at Alto Music jumped the gun. Again. You can’t actually buy them yet.

How long have you had yours?

Any good?

Nah don’t have the 25. The shop is allegedly getting them next week, so I’ll let you know. I’m still waiting on my 50

 

[Elric]

I don’t get the EL84 hate, TBH. They’re awesome in their domain. The Oranges and Friedmans are great amps as long as you do not ask them to be what they are not. A lot of it is TGP style group think. IMHO.

 

[paisleywookiee]

The Badlander 25 combo could potentially be the ideal gigging amp. Pop a Creamback Neo in there, and you’ve got an ultra lightweight amp with an IR-based cabinet emulation output.

Looks nice… Hopefully a TC25 will happen someday.

It’d be cool, but I kinda think the TC is on its way out.

 

[GTR37]

Ya know I actually really liked the rectoverb 25 , thing had some balls and the clean w the 84s was better in some ways than the big amps
Also the fact it has cab clone is a really nice feature
