Just want to thank all who chimed in on this topic. After a long decision process and changing my mind numerous times, the Mesa WD-800 with the SW 215 is where I landed. Big shout out to @TheRealGru. Terrific guy. He sold me the head here on TB and was great to deal with. Amp is pristine. I found a mint 215 locally.

Couldn't be more happy. There is something special here. My sloppy playing is not rewarded with this setup, but hopefully, it makes me a better player with time! Cheers!

What a monstrous cab! I bet it sounds amazing with the WD-800. I moved on to Aguilar for the time being ... not sure if that was the right call but I just needed something different ;)

Haven't had much time to spend with the new rig, but I am amazed at all of the great tones that can be gotten. I started with the suggested settings in the manual (which is terrific also). Noodled around with a drop C# tuning and was floored with how tight the response is. I have never experienced this before, as I have been playing the same late- 1970s Lab Series head and 2x15 cab for over 40yrs. I always loved the Lab (and still do) and never felt a need for anything else, but stepping into the 21st century with the Mesa is way above next level for me. Am I gushing too much? I don't see a need to get another amp for another 40yrs. :laugh:
