Super-versatile All-tube Combo Amp

If you're looking for one amp that can cover a whole range of pure tube tone, then the Mesa/Boogie TransAtlantic TA-30 is it! This incredible amp combines the American-made quality, the convenient portability, and the classic good looks that made the TA-15 such a hit, with a whole list of exciting new features and performance enhancements. From the studio to the stage the TA-30 has the tones and the options you need. Both of the TA-30's channels feature Multi-Watt assignable power with Duo-Class and Dyna-Watt technologies, which lets you set them independently to Class A 15-watt, Class A 30-watt, or Class A/B 40-watt operating mode. But that's not all.





You can also set the voicing of each channel, allowing you to select from clean British and overdriven British tones on channel 1, and three different tones on channel 2, including a clean American tone and a classic Boogie high-gain tone. On top of that, the TA-30 features a channel-assignable, all-tube, long spring reverb with independent channel controls. You can toggle the TA-30's channel assignment from the included footswitch, and you can add a second optional footswitch to toggle the reverb, making the TA-30 the ultimate live amp. With the push of a single footswitch, you can go from a glassy clean lead with plenty of headroom, to a ripping solo lead or a gritty rhythm tone with the perfect amount of breakup.

The TA-30 1 x 12" combo amplifier takes all of this flexibility and adds a perfectly matched 12" speaker into the mix. Lightweight and perfectly portable, you'll have no problems carrying the TA-30 1 x 12" combo amp from gig to gig, back to your rehearsal space, and even into the studio. To make onstage positioning even easier, the TA-30 1 x 12" combo amp comes equipped with a set of casters, and although you probably won't want to stop playing it long enough to bother, you also get a handy slip cover too.

This amp does it all.  It's like having 5-6 amps in one.  I've played for 30 years and this is the best amp I've owned.  Endless tone shaping, but all of it genuine first class tone.  I can dial in Fe... read more [+]nder, Vox, Marshall, and of course Boogie.  Killer clean tones, killer reverb, killer tube gain tones.  Plus the master volumes let you crank it up or dial it down, keeping the same tone.  I traded in a high-end boutique "holy grail" amp on the TA-30 and have now stopped using 4 "tone enhancing" and gain pedals because I don't need them.  Plus its lightweight and ultra portable with the included casters.  Mesa should be proud - they designed a perfect combo amp. close [-]

A great amp for vintage sounds, portability, and power.

Even though the Vox AC30C2X is a killer amp, I decided to look for a new amp because it is too heavy to lug around to rehearsals. When I saw this amp on the Mesa Boogie site with its vintage voicings,... read more [+] I decided to give it a try.

What I like about the all tube Mesa Boogie TransAtlantic TA30 1x12 Combo is that it is slightly larger and weighs a little more than a Fender 57 Tweed Deluxe, but it can be stupid loud if you need it. It has a custom made 12 inch Celestion that can handle 90 watts and sounds great on any of channel modes or settings. The TA30 gets those 50s & 60s Vox and Fender sounds along with the late 60s & early 70s Marshall and Boogie sounds.

The Reverb in Tweed mode sounds just like the old Fender tanks and can get very big and wet if needed. The Reverb on the Normal/Top Boost modes is more subtle and smooth just like it is on my AC30. The Multi-Watt settings can give you dimed tones at lower levels, which is cool for rehearsals. The EQ is versatile and can be extreme if needed. Channel 1 and Channel 2 are completely independent of each other and have their own set of controls, so it's really like having two different amps that you can foot-switch between.

The thing looks really cool/retro and lights up blue through the metal vent on top near the controls. fancy!

The best thing about this amp? It's American made. I am glad to support a company that is still doing business in this country after 4 decades. Money well spent. close [-]
