Well, that's a great question. To tell you the truth, Mesa Boogie amps aren't available here so I can't try one. I'd have to order a head and cab by mailorder.

I've seen a number of video demos and reviews, though. I'm also reading the manual and I know Pat of Cannibal Corpse uses one so it should be good enough for me. And, like I said, I don't like some features on ENGL amps.

But yeah, ideally one has to try an amp before buying it! I may go for an ENGL afterall even though I'm not too interested. At least I can try them!
