forget the mesa
get a dr. z
The Ezg50 has been on my want list for a long time
forget the mesa
get a dr. z
And the Dr. Z suggestion kind of hits on the big picture issue; do I want one multi function amp that does reasonable versions of lots of sounds, or a single channel amp that does one or two things really well. Hmmmm.
Fwiw, I don't play in a band, and I don't plan on it. I play at home 99 percent of the time, with a few jam session things a year. I also don't record music. I just play for fun. Just tossing that out there if anyone has advice.
