Let me preface this by saying this is a great amp and I do like it, but the simple fact is that I like the Shuttle and Acoustic more. I really like the punchy-ness of the GB and it's more aggressive mid voicing.
I explain it like this: The Genz Benz is meant to punch you in the chest whereas the Mesa is more of a rattle your teeth kind of amp. It's got a hefty low end and a bigger rounder sound than the GB, and it does have a nice mid presence, enough to allow you to cut through easily, it just isn't what I was looking for. I'm just not a tube guy and this amp is about as close to a tube amp as you can get without going all tube. The OD is also amazing but once again it isn't really something I am going to use for what I'm doing now.
It's all a matter of preference, I can't fault the Mesa for anything really. I hope that helps.
