Best amp for my needs??

Re: Best amp for my needs??

Check out the Mesa rectoverb. I have found the cleans to be very good. If you add a little delay and chorus they're beautiful :32: . The distortion channel is incredible of course. If your worried about the 50 watts being too little compared to the dual rect's 100, don't. The rectoverb is loud, really loud.
I owned a triple recto and I sold it for the rectoverb. The triple was just too much and the rectoverb is way more versatile. Cheaper to maintain also with tube changes. This of course isn't the most important thing, but the rectoverb is a pretty classy lookin amp IMO. Tube it with chinese pre's and jj 6l6's and your in business.

I've heard great things about the rivera knucklehead too. I'd love to try one of those myself, so check that out too.

Best amp for your "wants". not "needs". You don't need an amp. you want an amp.

Well, let me ask.

How much of your income is dependent upon your guitar playing/performance?
That may better define needs/wants.

About the B-52, It really was almost as good as a recto??

yes. for the price of that amp, i'm convinced that you can't do any better.

lol granted Toad, I don't NEED an amp...

I'm 16 and my band doesn't gig at paying places yet (we've only just begun writing our own material a few months back :22: ) so my income is not dependant at all on my performance as you put it.

Thanks Toad lol... why would I take any offence to someone telling me I don't NEED an amp? I don't NEED a lot of things... think about the starving children in Africa!! They need a lot of things!.... I don't buy into that crap lol I'm happy to live in North America! This is the way I like it.

Anyway yes I will definitely tell y'all what I end up choosing... but I think it will be a haaaard decision

Looking at the poll I noticed the votes for the H&K Triamp and the Mesa Dual Recto are even... I put a vote in for the H&K because I was too lazy to have to click "view poll results" every time lol.

Why are they matched... voters, can you comment?

Because lots of people will vote for anything that isn't a Rectifier......
