It will be interesting to learn more about the circuit. The manual (Mesa puffery at its best) says that "[w]hile the architecture of the Fillmore’s preamp leans toward the more throaty voice and easier to clip ‘Tweed’ circuits of the 1950s, we’ve managed to get the lower half of the CLEAN Mode to behave more like a 1960s circuit associated with the Blackface side of California’s long-adored amplifier heritage”; that “DRIVE picks up where the CLEAN Mode tops out (actually a little before) and goes almost up to ‘high gain’ as can be found in the middle region of the HI Mode,” and of HI that “Its whole purpose and sonic signature pays homage to the very best of the late 70s/early 80s Crunch Rhythm and Lead sounds used on so many records. It rides the line beautifully between those created by us at MESA/Boogie back in the day and those produced by the classic Brit amps popular in that era. Circuit-wise HI is all American, remaining closer to the wonderful tweed covered amps hailing from California in the 50s.”

Or try one of these
How does it compare to the Helix? ;-)
Edit: actually, that comes across as a little ungrateful... good on MB for supplying a cover with their amps when so many don’t.
