They are discontinued, so it might be hard to find a new one. The EXPRESS looks like a new version, but is not available in 100W.

You might try Alley Cat/Rainbow Music in State College. They might have some NOS models. If they have any Nomads, be sure to try those too. They are very versatile with 3 complete channels.

Lonewold is right; the nomad is more versatile.

I actually prefer the sound of the F series a little more if high gain is your ultimate goal however. I bought the nomad because it wasnt practical to sit around and jam with my dual rectifier in my spare time, and I couldnt locate a F series for what I wanted to spend.

The nomad in time may better serve me if I ever decide to change gears in my playing style.

IMHO... u really cant go wrong with any mesa product. They hold their value nicely and are very reliable.

I'm back in Baltimore, and back to work, so I'll be making a trip to Guitar Center soon.
Pour me another one, cause I'll never find the silver lining in this cloud.
