MESA/Boogie California Tweed / AT5 on RE

  • The new IK Multimedia MESA/Boogie 2 is out and I tested the new amps today. Quite CPU heavy / buggy release imo;)


    But I really liked the clean California Tweed tones!


    In the past I had some problems profiling clean / edge of break-up tones from AmpliTube. But this time the result was pretty spot on :thumbup:

    So I uploaded 3 profiles to RE:


    - MESA California AT5 Clean (20W setting)

    - MESA California AT5 Edge (still pretty clean, 40W setting, try also with pure boost)

    - MESA California AT5 Stacked (stacked with Kemper drive pedals, like a pedal nerd would do...maybe^^)


    EDIT / Tips:

    - boost Volume in "Pure Booster" for getting in high gain category

    - in "Full OC" pedal switch from LP to HP for a more edgy tone and adjust drive and tone here as well for different flavours


    added examples to RE for easy access:

    - MESA California AT5 Stacked Hi

    - MESA California AT5 Stacked Lead


    The cab used in AT5 was a 1x12 California Tweed with "American J40" speaker (Jensen Black Bird Alnico I guess). Sounds pretty good for me. What do you think?
