he new 3-channel, 50-watt, EL-34 powered Triple Crown™ TC-
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 amazing-
ly tight and aggressive wall
of Rock Crunch, to one of
our most vocal, harmonical-
ly rich and gain-laden high-
gain channels ever, the Tri-
ple Crown is aimed at Rock’s
high-gain throne! Experience
a new generation of Rock
Royalty – The Triple Crown
TC-50!
Need versatility? The TC-
50 features our handy BIAS
SWITCH allowing you to
swap the stock compliment
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.
Our legendary lush all-tube Reverb drenches the TC-50’s three
Channels with a beautiful 3-D halo and provides you with assign-
able choices on where to use it for the best results. Additional fea-
tures include MIDI for true connectivity and a number of ways to
access the amazing sounds and pro features in the TC-50. A STORE
toggle switch allows simple one-touch writing of your footswitch-
able 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 fea-
tured as a convenient live or
recording interface for direct
input to a live mixing board
or recording console without
the need for a mic and you’ll
find the full compliment of
voicing options have been
included; CLOSED BACK,
OPEN BACK and VINTAGE,
for increased versatility and
different sound styles. A
HEADPHONE out feature al-
lows for personal enjoyment
of the amplifier when it is not
possible or you simply prefer
to play without a speaker.

do here at MESA, you’ve got to experience what we’ve captured in
the new Triple Crown TC-50. Dressed in traditional design with a
hint of modern style, get ready to experience the new generation
of Rock royalty – The Triple Crown TC-50!. A new level of versatility
