The Mesa Boogie Dual Caliber DC-5 is a 2-channel, 50-watt guitar amplifier that was produced from 1993 to 1999. It is known for its versatility and ability to provide a wide range of sounds in both clean and overdrive styles. Here are some key features and user reviews of the Mesa Boogie Dual Caliber DC-5:

• Versatility: The DC-5 is praised for its ability to produce a variety of tones, from clean to highly distorted sounds suitable for genres like jazz, blues, rock, and metal.
• Tone Controls: It features a 5-band graphic equalizer that can be assigned to either channel or both, allowing for extensive tone shaping.
• Power Tubes: The amplifier uses two 6L6 power tubes to fuel its fifty-watt power section, providing a healthy amount of headroom and “clipability” when pushed.
• Pre-Amp: The pre-amp section includes six 12AX7 tubes, offering two separate sets of tubes for the rhythm and lead channels, effectively giving the user two amplifiers in one chassis.
• User Reviews: Users generally appreciate the clean channel’s clarity and the distortion channel’s versatility, although some note that the clean channel can sound weak and brittle at higher volumes.
• Reverb: The spring reverb is a standard feature, though some users find it to be weak.
• Footswitch: The DC-5 includes a footswitch input for channel switching, enhancing its usability.
• Comparison to Other Mesa Models: Some users compare the DC-5 favorably to the Mark series for its gain structure and tone, while others find it less tight and more loose in the low end compared to the Mark series.
