A New Generation of Rock Royalty
The new 3-channel, 50-watt, EL34 powered Triple Crown™ 50 from MESA Engineering® captures the essence of Rock with the ability to inspire new genres in a way only MESA® can. Emanating from the “other side of MESA” that spawned Rock’s iconic Dual Rectifier®, this new platform features a bold set of new circuits unlike anything else in our line.
From bubbly, sparkling clean sounds, rarely heard in this type of amp, to an amazingly tight and aggressive wall of Rock Crunch, to one of our most vocal, harmonically rich, and gain-laden high-gain channels ever, the Triple Crown is aimed at Rock’s high-gain throne! Experience a new generation of Rock Royalty–The Triple Crown 50!
YOUR CHOICE OF PUNCH. EL34, 6L6, OR 6V6 POWER
Need versatility? The Triple Crown 50 features our handy BIAS SWITCH allowing you to swap the stock complement of EL34s with the fatter, rounder-sounding 6L6. For those who want a warmer, rounder response and more easily attainable power clip, 6V6s can also be used in the EL34 setting with a direct swap over, creating a “Half-Power” scenario that exudes a more bubbly, vintage voice and creamier top end harmonic content.
LUSH REVERB, MIDI, DI WITH CAB SIMULATION, AND MORE
Our legendary lush all-tube Reverb drenches the Triple Crown 50’s three Channels with a beautiful 3-D halo and provides you with assignable choices on where to use it for the best results. Additional features include MIDI for true connectivity and a number of ways to access the amazing sounds and pro features in the Triple Crown 50. A STORE toggle switch allows simple one-touch writing of your footswitchable functions to any of 256 MIDI Program Numbers. There is also a MIDI Channel mini Rotary Selector for syncing of the MIDI Channel to be used by your controller of choice. The CabClone™ D.I., is featured as a convenient live or recording interface for direct input to a live or recording console (mixing board) without the need for a mic and you’ll find the full complement of voicing options have been included; CLOSED BACK, OPEN BACK and VINTAGE, for increased versatility and different sound styles. A HEADPHONE out feature allows for personal enjoyment of the amplifier when it is not possible or you simply prefer to play without a speaker. TIGHT, FAST ATTACK AND GUT-PUNCHING MIDS If you’re a fan of the work we do here at MESA, you’ve got to experience what we’ve captured in the new Triple Crown 50. Dressed in traditional design with a hint of modern style, get ready to experience the new generation of Rock Royalty– The Triple Crown 50! A new level of versatility delivered with an immediacy of attack and gut-punch midrange all its own in our line.
