The Mesa Boogie Express 5:25 Plus is a versatile, American-made powerhouse that distills Mesa's legendary multi-watt technology into a portable 1x12 combo. This "Plus" version features several major upgrades over the original Express series, including the addition of the iconic 5-band graphic EQ, an improved clean channel with more sparkle and headroom, and a dedicated "Solo" boost control. Handcrafted in Petaluma, California, this amp is designed to handle everything from bedroom practice to professional stage use.
The 5:25 Plus features two fully independent channels with four distinct style modes: Clean and Crunch on Channel 1, and Blues and Burn on Channel 2. Its patented Multi-Watt technology allows you to assign 5, 15, or 25 watts per channel, letting you choose between pure Class A single-ended saturation and the higher-headroom Dyna-Watt Class A/B power. Loaded with a 12 inch Celestion Vintage 30 speaker, this amp delivers the punchy mids and smooth highs that have made it a favorite for rock, blues, and jazz players alike.
This amplifier is in very good condition and has been fully tested in our shop. It is structurally sound and functionally perfect, delivering the thick, harmonically rich tones Mesa is known for. The vacuum tubes have plenty of life, and the long-spring reverb provides a deep, lush ambiance. The amp shows typical signs of light cosmetic use, such as minor scuffs on the vinyl, but has been very well cared for in a smoke-free environment.
