Mezzabarba Apocalypse 200 vs Mesaboogie IIC+ : Clash of the titans !

I don’t know about that. I’ve always been concerned my neighbours can’t fully appreciate all the nuances of my drop D chugging. This amp might be the answer….
They will love the heavy chugs...in spite of their will 😆
 
Mezzabarba Looks interesting but I don't need or want 200 watts !
Dude.
This is Rig Talk.

Let's face it...most on this forum don't NEED anything above 50w, even if gigging. Hell, as hard as it is to type the most sensical choice is some kind of modeler.

BUT
We don't care about practical, sensical etc. We want to sound as big/bad as we can get...whether that's in Madison Square jam room or at a club....so 200w? HELL YEAH!!!

Because, the higher you go the bigger they sound even at lower volumes. My only issue with a Mezzo amp is the resale....they sit forever and you always take a large loss on resale.
Great amps, and it shouldn't be that way but there it is.

Damn right! Anyone who asks about a lunch box version is gonna get beat down. 😂

Mezzabarba resale sucks… that’s a big risk. I would think the KT version will be in more demand. It’d be stupid to buy the 6L ( unless you’re buying both🤪).

Yes. And vice versa, and that's why I don't like lunchbox amps. Although some are cool, like the Tremonti one.

Yeah in general the volume difference itself with these things isn’t much, but we should expect more extended lows and highs and more efficiency in how it puts out sound and who doesn’t like that lol

As for resale, that’s why you just gotta find them used at a decent price. I didn’t take a loss on the one I had for that reason, but since they’re doing a better job this time marketing them maybe the resale will be a bit better this time hopefully
 
I've kind of expected the "more is more" sound. But this demo doesn't deliver. Maybe it's the amp. So I'll wait for more demos. :confused:
 
There is a midi option. But for extra $$$.

I think if I were buying one I’d option it with midi to help maintain resale value. Without it it’s just too niche and competing with more aggressive PTP amps like wizards.
 
The name and power amp are more aggressive than the preamp tone. Just seems like an Mzero with a new power supply design.

I’ll all honesty though it being PTP would make this an insane mod platform for more brutal tone.
Something like a 7 Gain Stage EVH with a boutique built, sound and feel, punch, fullness, but also touch sensitive, fast, dynamic and saturated with a low noise-floor, no need for a boost kinda amp. I'd take that. That's what i want. :D
