as great as your mesa sounds,
its no where near ideal for recording, trust me i know, ive owned them before
while there are a lot of tone junkies out there who will bash me in the face for this,
the best way to record is through digital processor like the line 6 tone port gx or what i use for recording : digitech rp500
they honestly sound great, and since you arent a multi million dollar record company, this will do just fine for you. the tone port gx is $80 new, and will come with everything you need to record to your computer.
plus you get tons of sounds and effects to play with.
oh and btw, a lot of pros use Pods and toneports for their profession recordings
for the mesa to sound good, you need to crank it up, and unless you put it behind a couple inches of steel, thats not going to happen
Uhm sorry but if you have atleast decent mics and know how to place them, you can get almost a better tone while micing than line-in or digital processor recording.
