MESA/Boogie California Tweed Guitar Amplifier | Demo and Overview with Doug West

Description
The Mesa Boogie California Tweed 6V6 2:20 1x10 tube guitar combo amp, aimed at players seeking single-channel 6V6 tone in a lightweight, grab-and-go package. This 20W combo delivers three distinct power levels—20W, 10W, and 1W—thanks to Mesa's patented Multi-Watt Power, allowing you to achieve cranked-tube tone and feel at any volume. A Normal input provides punchy cleans and a Low input yields warmer overdrive. Add dimension with the footswitchable reverb, creating a lush, enveloping tone.
Multi-Watt Power Provides Versatile Performance
Experience the highly responsive dynamic touch and tube tone of 20W, 10W or 1W via Mesa's Multi-Watt Power. Crank the 20W setting for maximum headroom and pristine cleans, switch to 10W for sweet tube overdrive at lower volumes, or select 1W for cranked-amp overdrive in a bedroom-friendly size. Multi-Watt Power makes it easy to get the exact amount of power you need for any gig or session.
Normal and Low Inputs Shape Your Tone
The California Tweed 2:20 provides a Normal input for punchy cleans with strong treble and upper midrange, as well as a Low input for a warmer, compressed overdrive tone with a slight high-end roll-off. Use each input alone or blend them together—the tonal possibilities are nearly endless.
Lush Reverb Adds Life to Your Tone
Activate the combo's reverb via footswitch (sold separately) to wash your tone in a dimensional, enveloping reverb. From a subtle room-like ambiance to cavernous halls, the reverb provides a lush, polished finish to clean and overdriven tones alike.
Portable and Dependable
Weighing in at just over 30 pounds, the California Tweed 2:20 is an ideal grab-and-go tube amp. It also features a fixed-bias power amp for maintenance-free operation.

I as going to get a fender and went with this little boogie. It's a similar tone but I love the ability to switch between 1, 10 or 20 watts.
I'm selling my 12-in Recto-Verb 25 combo.

See 3rd Best Use above. Tone controls are highly interactive. If you're used to e.g. Fenders or MESA's amps, fine. If not, get your sales person to show you how to dial in a sound you like. Also, read the manual and note your settings in it. This will save you a good bit of time.
I would buy from again

Exceptional tone, with lots of power. The Jenson, Blackbird offers a very immediate, well defined tone. Tithe variety of tones with this amp sit nicely between a Fender Princeton, and a Vox AC 30. Love the look and build quality.
