Mesa Single Rect vs. F-50

[Telesexual]

was at GC check out some amps today and plugged in to the single rectifier. I always thought the series was too dark but it was actually a great balance with the single coils in the tele I was playin. I always planned on getting the F-50 but dont know now I have second thoughts. The single has much more gain than I will ever need. so I guess what advantage does the F-50 have over the single except price. I play mostly bluesy rock

F-50 is MUCH MUCH more versitle, better cleans, and has reverb.

How much do the F-50 heads run new. They just had the combo.

$1049.99. That's the price you ABSOLUTLY WILL PAY if you buy it new from an authorized mesa/boogie dealer unless it gets discontinued(which I doubt will happen anytime soon).

I got my head for 800 off of eBay.

I think the F-50 is perfect for you.

I brought one home this week try out --- fantastic amplifier.

Did you play a normal Single Rec or a Rectoverb?
