Hello all,
I am looking for a versatile low watt amp for recording. I have a Hughes & Kettner Tubemeister 18 but I have two problems with it. One is the fact it has one set of controls that carry over the settings to each channel... kind of a big thing since usually how I like my lead channel isn't how I want my clean channel EQ'd, and second is the way it seems to pull back or lose it's presence and feel when I throw pedals at it.
So I've got a few amps I have been looking at and I am open to suggestion.
Mesa mini Rectifier vs Panama Shaman vs Joyo Mjolnir and MAYBE a mini Mark V 25 if I can justify the extra $$$.
I play Metal, Rock, and even Jazz and ambient so having a solid tone and the ability to play well with pedals are a must. All of these also have EQ controls for 2 channels as well.
I am staying away from Solid State... I understand they can be competent amps but they just don't have that lively feeling. :P
Thank you for any advice!
