I bought this new as soon as it came out in 2007. It's only been kept in my smoke free home. The different wattage and channel options make it super flexible and cover a ton of ground. It's a great "pedal platform". the 4 "modes" cover a lot of ground from crystal clean to edge of break up to crunch. Switchable 5 watt and 25 watt add to that flexibility. This is the 1x10 model.

I have the original footswitch, footswitch cover, amp cover, and I'm pretty sure I have the original manual. The hang tags are still attached too.

The video is for the 5:50, but the sounds are very similar.. all of the 5:25 videos I found were terrible. The guy in the video for the 5:50 knows how to dial in this amp for all the different voices.

From the Mesa/Gibson website:

The Express 5:25™ has four inspiring modes from two opposite personalities spread across two fully independent channels. If Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde had to share one platform, this would be it.

Say you’re a traditionalist: Select Clean and Blues for your two footswitchable sounds. Or, if you’re addicted to Gain, choose Crunch and Burn. Then stand back as the well-mannered soul of Dr. Jeckyll morphs into the maniacal Mr. Hyde, hardcore beast.

Most important is the classic authenticity of all these iconic tones. No matter what your stylistic destination, the Express will take you there… Fast. Up front, that number “5” indicates the low power, single-ended magic of pure Class A. The “25” refers to the rated push-pull output. Together, these make up Duo-Class™ our patented new power circuit, the first to offer both single-ended and push-pull configurations in the same amplifier. But even that’s not the last stop.

Each channel is further equipped with its own Contour depth control for added shaping that’s both assignable and footswitchable. Used subtly, Contour adds a halo of depth and chime to gleaming clean sounds. Higher Contour settings, especially in Crunch and Burn, take you into Recto™ turf, tight, huge and menacing.
