Mesa Boogie Express 5:25 Plus guitar amplifier combo
Product no: 9000-0007-2099 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Mesa Boogie Express 5:25 Plus is an extremely versatile, solid and organic-sounding tube guitar amp combo. The highly renowned Mesa Boogie has fitted this no-nonsense 25-watt amp with a 12-inch Celestion Vintage 30 speaker. Of particular note, on this latest Express version, are two fully independent channels with adjustable output per channel, extensive equaliser options and an included 4-button foot switch. With the foot switch you can control EQ, channel settings, reverb and solo boost quickly and easily.

The adjustable power of the 5:25 Express 5:25 Plus

The howling 5:25 is the 25-watt model from the Express combo series that, in terms of functionality and sound quality, is virtually identical to its big brother the 5:50. Everything, including the delicious reverb, is driven by two EL-84 tubes supported by five 12AX7-type preamp tubes. Switching a channel to 25 watts generates a hefty punch with a lot of presence and impressive headroom. When set to 15 watts, the amp generates a more velvety, vintage sound, while at 5 watts the sound has a warm bass and with mild, rich trebles.

Every style with one guitar amplifier

The Mesa Boogie Express Plus is an incredibly versatile tube amplifier. Channel 1 offers both a sweet, low-gain Clean setting, as well as a growling mid-tone producing Crunch. Channel 2, on the other hand offers the guitarist a gorgeous, pure Blues sound and heavily distorted highs in Burn mode. Whatever style you play, therefore, whether its R&B, rock, metal or punk, you will always find the sound you're looking for with the Express Plus. A 5-band equaliser even allows you to fine-tune your sound further so that you can get it exactly how you want it. You can also choose a preset for this.

The Blackstar Artist Series: Classic and Versatile

Monday 2 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Blackstar has gone from a newcomer to an established name in a short space of time. One of their greatest assets is the Infinite Shape Feature or ISF circuit (as it's otherwise known) that they developed themselves. With the ISF circuit, Blackstar managed to greatly increase the versatility of tube amplifiers without the use of digital technology. The new Artist 15 and Artist 30 models both have an ISF circuit fitted and can produce the typical American 6L6 sound, as well as beloved British AC clean and crunch.

Meet the VT20X, the VT40X and the VT100X, the first three models from the new series.
