You want killer tone in your bedroom, but NOT a practice amp? Uh, if I were in your shoes I'd get a Vox Delta Blues (is it vox?), etc, but why do you not want a practice amp for the bedroom? Aren't things going to get a wee bit loud in there?

That would be a Peavey, in either a 2x10 or a 1x15 version.

Well i have no idea what you should get in that case!

Maybe a tube amp with less watts so you can push it harder, making it sound more tubey.

get a used VHT.
i have one and it sounds great even at bedroom volumes.

umm, I dont think anyone has either enough idea of what a cheap ss ACTUALLY sounds like, or enough fiddling with the mesa to form that opinion.
 
Re: I sold my mesa and my wallet is $1450 bucks fatter what to get?

Go with any Engl amp. They will sound tighter and more tubey than any of the Mesa Rectos.

Dr. Z


Hey, it's loud and quite different from a Mesa.
 
Re: I sold my mesa and my wallet is $1450 bucks fatter what to get?

get something 20 watts or less...

there's tons of stuff out there that would be great for that $$$

Scott_F is selling a Celtic Franklin right now...

there's Dr. Z's, that new small Orange, Blues Jr., Pro Jr., Savage Mact 6 & 12, etc...

+1.

If you get a combo you have the option to do low volume stuff and gig if you need to do. Plus with all the modules they have you'd have plenty of tone options from one all-tube amp! And apparently they sound pretty good... I can't wait to test one at some point.

Depends on what type of music you play???

I know a DSL-50 can sound pretty good a low volume, but also have the goods when you hit the stage. Find one used and save half your $$$.
 
Re: I sold my mesa and my wallet is $1450 bucks fatter what to get?

Used VHT Combo all the way. I have a hundred CLX 2x12, and it sounds awesome even at bedroom levels. The only thing is they arent too easy to come by, check ebay regularly to see what they have!
 
Re: I sold my mesa and my wallet is $1450 bucks fatter what to get?

I agree with the VHT and ENGL's

I will throw in a USED Bogner Shiva or possibly Uberschall depending on the amount you add.
