Eric Kirkland - Guitar World Magazine
''I've owned or played every Mesa/Boogie production amp to date, and the Road King eclipses them all. It has a ridiculously good clean channel and an indescribable range of gain and tone options, plus its fine-tuned circuits and progressive-linkage power section are the best Mesa has ever produced. Despite its plethora of features, the Road King is simple and intuitive to operate. Boasting boutique tone and the most versatility ever offered in a tube amp, the Road King blows the doors off the competition." Jonathan Herrera - Bass Player Magazine
''The Scout pumps out serious low end. It's shocking how much bass the tiny box emits. Even with the onboard EQ flat, the Scout's bountiful booty is extreme. The 12" driver stayed coherent and focused, even with aggressive B-string attacks. The mids have a pleasing, vocal quality. On fingerstyle funk tunes with an F-Bass BN5 or the '78 P-Bass, I dug the Scout's solid punch and pliable dynamic sensitivity. The preamp behaves like more tube-filled designs: It's musical and responsive, with a pleasant bit of overdrive when pushed to its limits." |
