This is the first Mesa amp I've actually liked the sound of enough to consider actually buying. Sounds absolutely immense!
After buying one of those and looking at this video, I'm still so happy with my purchase! What an unbelievable amp it is!
This is your best track yet man. Great job!
True, the song is awesome ! Melodical but still heavy, love it :D
Thanks Fluff for spending your time showing us your gear and knowledge! Awesome!!
Just stopped by to say that I really enjoyed the music you made for this demo. Very catchy.
\m/
I like the TC, especially the rack mount option. Always thought the best cleans were done by Mesa too; call me crazy but the Electra Dyne nailed the warm ear pleasing low end with sweet sounding highs with no sharp edges or brittleness.
This music makes me feel refreshed. Fluff, you're definitely made for guitar.
I really liked that you played bother
Sounds friggin rad man! I grabbed the status OB-1's based on your studio tour comments too, thanks for the vids
Awesome review man, and yes... those riffs!!!! Got the same amp with a widebody Mesa 112 and its just the amp+sound I have been searching all my life
typo in the spec slide although "cunch" is a fun word
Called my wife that got punched .
Dave Hendricks What did you learn?
Will never unsee that
i knew to stay up past midnight here in aus for a reason! definitely been waiting for this one!
I really like this tone, and i love he doesnt have a pedal in the chain. I dont like when an amp (being broad here, not just THIS amp) that is supposed high gain and people demo it with a drive pedal. I wanna hear the AMP, not the amp with an OD pushing it further.
When people use an OD pedal on a high gain amp, especially a high gain amp, they use it for the sense and purpose to enhance the natural EQ. It sound counter intuitive but the reality is the OD pedal is being used as a “clean boost”. When being used as such, the gain is normally turned entirely off. The only settings on are the volume and tone knobs which enhances the overall volume of the amp and the tone knob tightens down the looser low ends of the EQs on the amp. It’s an amazing trick that not only cleans up the “flubbines” of the amp but i feel like it brings out the amps true potential.
yeah i get that. i am just saying i wanna hear an amp for itself, not enhanced. just a pet peeve of mine, and i know i'm in the minority usually with it
I like when demos show both personally. It's nice hearing what it's gonna sound like with an OD in the front because it's such a common thing to do to tighten up the sound. What I do hate is when I can tell someone post eqed it and/or put a Impulse response on the amp instead of micing it (especially if it doesn't have a line out and just has a send and return because that bypasses the poweramp)
Had mine for around 6 years and never looked back... I swap speakers cabs once in a while, and played with different tubes, that's it. I simply LOVE this amp and consider to get a second one, to daisy chain them (there is a way to do that). I have tried and owned a few Mesa before, Marshalls and Orange. Nothing beats the TC for me. Versatility and SOUND are definitely 2 great qualities it has. Thanks for the vid and great riffs, as usual.
Just got mine tonight ! Nice to read that comment, I'm watching some demos to get some ideas for tones...😂
Great vid...!
How would you try and compare the Triple Crown to the Revv 120, especially in terms of covering a wide sonic palette? Or are they just two totally different beasts?
cheers!
Great demo, thorough and great detail and info captured in the editing. The only problem - I want one and in the UK its a mahooosive price. Thank you Ryan - great beard too.
Dude! I'm here in Seattle too.This is a spot on review. I just picked one of these up to replace one of my two Marshall JVM's, and I'm about to kick the other one out the door to buy another as backup. This amp is what Marshall was trying for in the JVM, no doubt. I'm more old school, I have a 4x12 cab that runs a pair of g12c greenbacks and a pair of old circa 1980's Gt-75's, and with this cab, I can do anything with this amp. With this speaker configuration, I use the Drive/Tight switches as a means to turn this head into a Plexi-ish amp on steroids when engaged to a Mark I on steroids and way fucking beyond when switched out. The MIDI switching is one of the reasons I've used JVM's, in addition to loving Marshall tone. I need the quick switching ability for live work. The switching in this amp is just as good if not better than the JVM's. I literally think this is one of the best amps ever made. Those 50 years of amp designing experience really show up in this one.
I loved this amp. It is so dynamic. Jazz, blues, rock, Metaaaaaalll....tones
I really dig the riffs and melodies here man. Plus the amp sounds amazing. I am buying one 100% for sure
Glad you liked it man, it's an incredible amplifier.
Dude .... I love the demo song , I've had it playing in my car over and over , I can even hear some badass chorus
love your work fluff. + the juicy riffs!
That second/middle channel sounds amazing! Great job recording.
That sounds killer! Congrats! You're the best, Fluff!
I am going to buy one of these. I think, just me-These are the most versatile amps in the universe. Just the fact that you can access different tubes, speaker sim, on feature I love and do not see very much, (It can not be that expensive) an FX loop access on the footswitch) and many more to mention. I wish you had more time as I think you would have shown more versatility, like the official mesa demo. I am glad you like these. It gives you and you great channel more validation!!
What a SOUND! That guitar/those pups sound incredible, and compliments the amp well! Great as always fluff :)
Gonna try one out this weekend, finally. Sounds and looks totally rad!!
one of your best demo songs imo
Sounds awesome! for my VGM vids I use a triple rectifier. Hope this one arrive to my country. Amazing demo!
thanks for posting a review so quick after the tc's release. To be honest the thing that I find most enticing about this amp is the drop-and-play switching between el34's, 6v6's, and 6l6's (if you go with Mesa's tubes). songwriting is also pretty sick on this demo too
Triple Crown AKA Triple awesomeness.
Anyway, that's one of your best riffs so far bro!! I'm listening to it over and over!
Love you, bye
The song you played in the beginning was just great!
Is it alright to be tracking through monitors if you have the cab and mic set up in the same room as the monitors? Or do you have to track through headphones to prevent the backing track from being picked up by the microphone?
This is a really brilliant review. Fabulous
holy shit, that demo song was awesome!
Screw the amp did you make the first song?
Insanely cool demo tune, Fluff! This amp really speaks to me. The sound went right under my skin, I like the British voicing. Now I'm swayed between a Rockerverb 50/100 Mk. III or a Mesa TC-50, if I'm ever upgrading from my Rocker 30.
Which did you end up going with? Not sure what my next amp is…. Choosing between the tc 50 and 5150 stealth
Yes I've been waiting for this
is it just me or did it sound like he was playing bother by stone sour when on the clean channel?
That was definitely Bother.
I think i also heard Aenema by Tool on the dirty channel.
Hell yeah. I went down to see if anyone asked if they heard it too and it's the first comment I see.
I thought it was Die Young from Sabbath :D
How bout the riff that sounds very close to Tool's Aenima?
Hi Fluff, great video and demo! I was thinking about getting a Triple Crown but there's no chance for finding this one in store locally to try it out. I currently own the Mark V:35 and previously had the old 3 ch Recto. I'm thinking between the TC 50 and the Reborn Recto...what's your preference between these two? Thanks
Vs the Rhodes? Vs the JP2C? Curious how this would stack up against my Miyasnikov X88r as well.
Boogies are awesome...I always have played through them. When the gain is almost topped out (8-9), how defined are the notes when chording? Somewhat muddy or with clarity? Thanks!
Best demo tune in a while
Thanks for talking about the Master Volumes, that was my main concern coming from a Rectoverb 25. Thumbs up dude!
Hey Fluff thanks for the video. How did you find the lower watt settings? Being an at home player these are intriguing.
im playing a dual rectifier for my live rig im curious as to see how the amp would work with that
I'm So into this amp. I can't wait to play one. I can see it coming home with me and a vertical Recto 2 x 12 cab
Not normally big on Mesa but this one I like! Nice thick lead tone!!
thanks man loving the tones!
I can't wait to get the Triple Crown combo!!
Hey Fluff. I'm looking for an amp close to the dual rec sound? The reason I don't want the rec is because it is too big and too loud for what I need. I'm looking at the Mesa recto verb 25 head and the Mesa mini rectifier. Thoughts or suggestions?
Hey Fluff, What do you think of the DI out? Is it as good as the new hughes & kettner grandmeister 40? Is it simply a good out that doesn't change the tone?
Hey fluff, I'm about to pull a trigger for either a recto or EVH 5153. Just one question that is how is the new reborn(multi watt) rectifiers compare to previous version in voicing? I've read that they are more focus, tighter,less fizzy and has more upper mids now, which is everything I DO NOT want at all. I'm going for the old "horrible" rectifier thing, typically that explosive low end(cannible corpse) and that razor edge fizz(soilwork stabbing the drama). Can I still get that with the new multi watt dual rectos? Thanks.
Fluff, would you say that this amp is serviceable for bedroom with the master volume as is? Trying to find a good tube amp but I don't gig (yet). Most 50W tube amps just get loud way too quickly.
I’ve owned this model since 2020, played through a Bogner 212c cab. Put a lot of hours on it. Tubes finally started to die on me last month after 3.5 years (to the point that string changes had little effect on a guitar) so I replaced them today, and holy crap I’m in love again. There’s a color to the dirty tones on the Lo and Hi channels that is beautiful. Each gain stage is usable. And the cleans are a marvel; I think you’d need to go vintage Fender to find a better clean tone. Well done, Mesa.
Have you tried the combo version of this amp? is it worth the extra expense for the head and cabinet version of this amp?
love the opening tune, sounded great!
great playing Fluff, top riff around the 1minute mark!
How does this compare to the Royal Atlantic? Is it just a 3 channel version with extra features or a whole different amp?
Always sounds like Fluff, and Fluff always sounds great. Great playing , great video. Cheers
Thanks Fluff love your channel:) This sounds great the fact you got one says alot. I realy like the crunch on this. Would you do a demo on the tone with the different valve options it supports? Pretty curious how they influence the amps sound
i just wanna say i have enjoyed watching all of your amp test videos;but i wanted to ask you;how do you rank this amp compared to the Dual Recto 100 solo;and the Road King;or even the Laney Lion Heart IRT-120H?
would the combo amp sound the same? obviously it will not be as loud but can the combo amp still sound like its big brother?
hey Fluff. lovin my triple crown. swopped ou tubes for jj pre amp and chinese 6l6.omg.
what were you running in the demo. cheers
Hey, Fluff, what did you use to mic the cab up with for the recording? SM57?
Hey Fluff, love your videos. Quick question, KSR Ares or Triple Crown or PRS Archon or Revv 7-40?
I'm thinking of upgrading from a Mark V:25 to a larger Mesa head, and this amp makes my choice even harder!
You say the clean channel sounds somewhere between a J2PC and a Lonestar, which is great for me. However, what about the crunch and lead channels? Do they sound anything like Marks or Rectos, or are they in a league of their own?
Dude that intro demo was too hot. Keep it up, you should def record that. Great demo of the amp
First off, great video. I recently bought the TC50, just some personal opinion here. I have owned almost every amp on the market, Marshall JMP - 800-900-DSL, Friedman, Splawn, Dr Z, Mesa MKIIC - MK IV - Single Rect - Dual Rect - Nomad, - heartbreaker - Maverick, Rivera, Randall, 5150, Bogner Shiva, and Ecstasy. I always found the only amps that had that upper mid cut needed, and the ability to be chime. especially with a rolled down volume knob were Marshalls. Everyone is hung up on low end these days. Those low frequencies are not inherent to the guitar, they actually are getting into the bassist's territory. When you put a mic on an amp you can have as much low end as you want VIA the PA. Marshall, and Splawn were the best at cutting the mix hands down. On to the TC 50. I played this amp for less than 3 minutes before I bought it, that's all it took. The TC 50 is absolutely the most versatile amp I have ever owned, and all 3 channels are great. I personally use PRS McCarty guitars, and run the presence, and Treble around 12:30, mids at noon. This amp cuts the mix better than any mesa I have played to date. To me this amp sounds like a Bogner Ecstasy, Marshall JCM 800, Mesa Rectifier, and a Fender Vibro king had a 4sum, and a baby came out of it. I chose the Mesa vertical 2x12 cab so i'm not throwing my tone at my ankles on stage, and i can keep a small footprint for the tighter stages.. Dont let the 50 watts freak you out. the difference between 50, and 100 watts is only 3db. If you need a louder amp, the sound guy will probably pull your guitar out of the mix and you will sound like crap. In short: this amp is just a bad ass, don't be afraid to try it, and turn those knobs, they really do have a purpose on this amp. as Fluff mentioned in the Demo, it's really nice to be able to dial in your volume with the nice gradual sweep of the volume knob. Hats off to Mesa on this one, great build.
Gary Gillett, How does this compare to a Friedman? I've heard so many great things about Friedman and have been hung up on them.
This sounds great! Where would you put it in the Mesa lineup? Is it more Trans Atlantic, Mark, or Rectifier, or is it really in it's own class?
questions.- how do bands usually choose their tuning? is it based on preference or other things like vocals or what not?
Fluff, I'm considering one of these. I've played most high gain amps under the sun and currently play a Laney Ironheart. For live modern metal purposes, will this amp do the job? Does it get that wickedly saturated tone yet remains clear and tight? How's the bottom end?
Hey Fluff that sound is awesome, your reviews are really great. How did you recorded this guitar , is it direct to the interface or did you used mic amp?
Fluff, digging the sound. How would you compare the high gain to the dual recs behind you? Do you like it better?
Great demo as always Sir Fluff! On a side note, what are the drums used in this recording?
Ryan, love your demos. What do you think of the TC compared to the Orange OR?
Hey Fluff, I love that guitar, but is it neck heavy (does it dive)? Thanks, great video!
Does the crown amp have as much gain as the duel rectifier? I want to get this amp but every video I watched doesn't really display it's full metal potential...
Nice review! How would you compare the 2nd and 3rd channels to Dual/triple Rectifier´s?
That first song you played was a masterpiece. I kinda had a tear in my eye lol. Hopefully you make it a song of a playthrough!!!
It was really powerful
Ain't seen you use your Gibson RD in a while do you prefer your new signature model over the RD?
Beautiful music Fluff!!.And great amp too..
Hey fluff have you ever done a stiletto review? How is this compared to the stiletto? I have a trident stage one and was curious as to what you think of the amp?
How about more vids using 6L6s or especially 6V6s? Mesa did some of that in their intro vid.
That demo jam was incredible
Man I love your music Ryan Keep Rocking
Nice demo.
How do you think this compares to the PRS Archon?
Great test bro !!! sound amazing !!!
Really realy nice guitar tone...Have you changed something in the way you process the drums when it comes to the sound the last months or is it just my idea?
Fluff, were you wearing earplugs or in ear monitors?
sick guitar - LOVE IT !
Really nice playing my man. Really bringing out what the amp can do. Now I want one LOL.
I saw on facebook that you took the EL34s out and put in 6L6s in immediately. Which is in the video?
Love the amp demo. What amp are you using for you video opening riff. That sounds killer!!!
Trying to decide between this and a JVM. Does this sound good at bedroom levels?
Hey Fluff, which one do you prefer: Revv Generator or this Triple Crown?. I would like to make the investment in a good amp, I play mostly metal like Metallica, Pantera, Sepultura and Immortal. Thanks!
Great video! Is this loud enough to play live shows and be heard over a drum kit though?
If I wanted to write and record some vocals to the song that you wrote for this video, would that be alright and could I get the song to do so? I love it and I wanna do some Palms style stuff to it. Thanks either way, love that song!
Sweet I didnt know you were local! I got my 2x12 mesa cab from them. I think this amp would look nice on that. I also have a red RK2. :) Would you say this has more of a Marshall tone? You mentioned the british voicing a few times so I am curious about how it fits. The midi is a really nice add to switch from an ES-8 etc.
Fluff! Lately all your demo songs have really bee hitting me hard! Love the current direction you're going in!
