OVERVIEW

Introducing the TransAtlantic™ TA-15, the new micro-dynamo from MESA Engineering®. While we may be the last to show at the lunchbox amp party, there is good reason for our stylishly late appearance… we saw another chance to redefine a genre.

The TA-15 packs all the footswitchable performance – including our patented MULTI-WATT™ Channel Assignable Power – found in our high-end full-size models and offers the most classic British and American sounds in a beautiful 12 3/8�W x 6 3/4�D x 5 7/8�H package that weighs only 12 pounds!

Two channels feature 5 Modes that cross the Atlantic with ultimate finesse and flexibility, creating the most portable all-tube gig companion ever. Choose a preamp style in each channel and then select the perfect power for it from 3 super expressive output choices; 5 Watts Single-Ended CLASS A, 15 Watts CLASS A or 25 Watts of patented Dyna-Wattâ„¢ power.

The Channel Modes start off with lower gain NORMAL and higher gain classic versions of the iconic TOP BOOST sound in Channel 1, which includes an ingenious Pull MASTER on the CUT control that can be Hard Bypassed for purists. Channel 2 houses three Modes; a gorgeous TWEED™ clean, a British high gain in HI 1 and a classic Boogie® Lead in HI 2.

All this Tone and performance comes to you travel-ready in its sturdy padded gig bag that holds both Power Cable and Footswitch and allows easy access of the Retractable Handle. So prepare for a smooth Crossing as you enjoy the best of both sides of the pond with the new TransAtlanticâ„¢.

Mike wrote:$899 is the price.

I'd be really interested in seeing something like this, 22 Watt but just a head for £150

for £600 one could buy a vintage head in good condition, and I think I've seen used AC30s going for about the same.

I own the V55HD. It's not all that loud and it has a Master Volume. Why not buy that, at £250 is still very, very cheap.

Used AC30s? CC's no doubt - again - Chinese construction. Not comparable pricewise.

Mike wrote:JCM900s are horrible, trust me. That head is not worth more than £350. The only ones worth bothering with are the SLXs. I have an '81 JCM800 2204. THAT is an Amp.

I don't know much about AC30s but aren't the ones from the 60s the ones people want?

If you don't like the V55HD Reverb, just turn the knob to 0. Personally I like it, and I've never been a reverb fan - I still don't use it live - but it can be nice for practise at home.

Seriously stop getting hung up on 22 Watts vs 55 Watts, in real sound terms the difference is miniscule in terms of output. It's 3dB
