;e TransAtlantic may be the same size as other metal chassis lunchbox amps, like the Orange Tiny Terror and Vox Night Train, but it completely dwarfs the compe- tition when it comes to power output and features.

GEAR ROUNDUP – GUITAR PLAYER STAFF
;e Transatlantic o;ers an
amazing array of sounds...
that can suit everyone from blues players and country rockers to Brit-pop
janglers and metal shredders...with the
gain on either channel dialed back, the
headroom is impressive and , on the 25
watt setting, it’s easy to feel like you’re
playing an amp with signi;cantly more
power...For its outstanding ;exibility
and tones, the Transatlantic earns our
Editors Pick Award.
CHRIS GILL – GUITAR WORLD
;e Transatlantic is truly a
gig-worthy mini amp....
One complaint about most lunchbox
amps is that they only provide a
limited variety of overdrive tones.
;e TransAtlantic su;ers none of
those limitations, producing gorgeous, detailed clean tones with
ample headroom, aggressive overdrive with punchy bass, and singing
distortion with Mesa’s signature
creamy sustain.
LYLE ZAEHRINGER – PREMIER GUITAR
Versatile as most other amp
makers’ full-sized heads.
Playing with this top Boost voicing
I found myself losing track of time under
the in;uence of infectious pop songs
from Liverpool… ;is setting allows
your fretting technique to shine by
preserving every subtle, touch-sensitive
nuance as you glide and slide over the
strings.…it breathes, it’s responsive,
it sustains and the touch-sensitivity
inspires your musical expression.
