Key Features:
Multi-Watt, Multi-Amp Design: The TA-15 features a switchable power section that allows you to choose between 5, 15, and 25 watts. This not only gives you control over your volume but also alters the feel and response of the amp. Even more impressively, the amp features a "TransAtlantic" toggle that allows you to switch between three iconic amp voicings:
Normal (Mesa/Boogie): This mode delivers the classic, high-headroom, and crystal-clear clean tones that Mesa is famous for.
Classic (British/Vox): This setting provides the chimey, articulate, and slightly overdriven tones reminiscent of a classic AC30.
TransAtlantic (Marshall/Hiwatt): This mode gives you the powerful, mid-focused, and crunchy tones of a JCM800 or a Hiwatt, perfect for rock and classic metal.
Tube Complement: The TA-15 is powered by two EL84 power tubes and four 12AX7 preamp tubes, a combination that is crucial to achieving its diverse tonal palette.
Channel Switching: The amp features two fully independent channels, each with its own gain, treble, bass, and master volume controls. This allows you to set up a clean tone on one channel and a dirty tone on the other, or two different shades of overdrive.
FX Loop: A tube-buffered series effects loop allows for pristine integration of your favorite time-based effects like delay and reverb.
Compact and Portable: Weighing in at a mere 12 pounds, the TA-15 is incredibly easy to transport, making it an ideal choice for gigging musicians, studio work, or even a high-quality practice amp
