Mesa Vs Orange

Re: Mesa Vs Orange

No way! Keep the Mesa Boogie! The single rectifier is unquestionably one of the greatest amps ever made. There aint nothng like a cranked single rectifier. The Thunder 30 is a real nice amp and I've had the pleasure of playing one for several hours. Because of the EL84 power section, you're going to get some awesome tone from home all the way to a fairly sizeable gig. The cleans are really good and so is the overdrive of which it has plenty, however, it's not "great" like the single rectifier.

I classify it as GAS worthy or a really good amp, but it's not what I consider "great." I would take a single rect over one any day of the week. The single rect has such great rhythm tone, juicy lead tone, and some of the wickedest harmonics I've ever heard. Any notion you have about getting rid of it should pass like a mild upset stomach... you fart and it goes away.

I've been gassing for a single rect badly. At the moment, I can't wait to get one so I can plug in my Les Paul and get that creamy semi clean tone. Ever since I saw a local blues player playing through a rect-o-verb combo, I can't get that blues tone out of my head.

I've been thinking about this for ages, and I'm gonna start looking into the Thunderverb 50 more, and if I'm happy with it I'll be swapping I think

So... Anyone interested in a single rec? :P

tv 50 that I have is the shizzle, best amp ever

heavy yet fuzzy huge tone, great for palm mute chugging, but not teh death metalz. just came back from the DOWN concert and it was epic tonefest!!! they use TVs just like mastodon.

you know a recto when you hear it, if you are into that sort of death metal sound that is brittle and static like, then pull the trigger for the recto as it is for teh uber broootalz no doubt
 
Re: Mesa Vs Orange

Even though that Orange doesn't sound too bad in one or two of the clips, I don't find it to be intriguing enough to even consider it.

I think your single rec out classes it by a lot.
 
Re: Mesa Vs Orange

Buy the Orange for what it does well? Sure.

Sell the Mesa to make it happen? No. Freakin. Way.
