First I've heard of this was just stumbling across it on the Mesa page. No interest personally, but cool.

Just cosmetics right?

[Kagami]

I remember seeing these for sale a few months ago right before mesa products completely disappeared for sale from everywhere.

That looks classy as hell. I can feel the honky, nasal mids through the pic.

I've got a golden treadplate, I've got a golden treadplate...

I’m sure these were in the works before Gibson, but this feels very Gibson

Kind of weird that they're choosing the Dual Rec for a 50th anniversary edition rather than the Mark V, considering the Mark is a more proper descendent of the early Mesas.

Yep Stay Metal Ray had one a few months ago. His channel can be entertaining.

[Naren]

Love the look.

50th Anniversary edition of a 30 year old amp? I see Gibson are working their magic.

Knowing Gibson, they'll be launching the Jimi Hendrix Edition Dual Rec any day now.

Followed by Washburn's Dimebag Edition Axe-Fx.

Near as I can tell it's just cosmetic, if there's anything different then they don't mention it on the page.

I was literally just surprised it existed at all, really. I hadn't heard a thing. The new Multi-Watts are quite good, so I'm sure it's a great sounding amp, but neither the cosmetics nor the collectability aspect (very limited run) are that appealing to me.

jacksonplayer, I'm a little surprised too - the Rectifiers are probably the most popular Mesas, but Mark series to me is a little more core to the history and legacy of the company. Of course, it's harder to stick a gold treadplate on a Mark V.

Yea sure...if you can handle to look at the autistic faces while he plays....

[Drew]

Yeah, YouTube thumbnails have become fucking awful. I couldn't make myself click on that.

[Chris]

Yep, same here. All I see is this and I nope the hell out.

"When everything is on 10, nothing is on 10."

You can just tell, too, that the pink background was chosen not because it looks especially - or at all - good with a black and gold amp, but to make the video jump out a little MORE from the thumbnails next to it.
