Mesa F-30...experiences?

[wavodpa]

I haven't heard one yet, but from the reviews I've read they are supposed to be great amps. Anyone have personal experience with one and could let me know.

And does anyone know the avg. price or list price of one, I am considering one if it won't break my bank account.

Are you looking at the head or the combo version? From what I've heard there are a few structural and tonal differences between the two.

Combo

I have an F100 and I love it. Incredible full cleans, and a killer crunch tone. I am sure the F30 is a different animal so I can't speak on that. But I can vouch for the build quality and sound of the F series. They are solid great sounding amps.

Oh mine is a head and a 3/4 back 212.

I don't have an F30, but I do have a Subway Rocket, which is basically it's precurser. Great little amp, but almost no clean headroom. Nice Crunch sound, can get pretty heavy but not exactly recto territory. I replaced the stock 10" speaker in mine with a Weber Michigan. The Michigan is not as loud as the Black Shadow was but I think it sounds better under high gain as the amp is turned up. The Black Shadow would get real woofy at volume.

I also have an F50 head that I usually play either through a Mesa Recto Vertical 2x12 with Weber Michigans, or a Raezers Edge 1x12. Also a great amp, way more clean headroom and really nice clean sound, great serious crunch on the drive channel.

I like the F amps, they are much easier to dial in than some other Mesa's.
