What is your next amp going to be?

Mesa Boogie Mark V was my dream amp since it came out. Now that I've got one, I think i'm just shopping for cabinets now.

You'd think by now Mesa would've released a cab line specifically for the M-series amps. Maybe instead of having the smaller rectifier-traditional they should just call them mark cabs, since most mark users don't really want the oversize wide tone.

There is a Crate amp down the road for $149 if it still there in two weeks when I get my commission check I will probably grab it. They are light, loud, and sound great. The amp can be heard above the drums and carried with one hand.

I think that an old friend of mine had one of those in the '80s.

Nice ride for sure. There are a lot of versions if you go used so some are better/different than others. Most need a boost to tighten the low end and help it along. It's a great sound when you get it right. The new Badlander is absolutely wonderful. Very tight, has a lot going for it.

I think everyone had one in the 80s. My friend had one that was in my possession for a while that was a great jamming amp vs my Quad Reverb. It got above the drums and sounded great with an MXR D+. Don't know if I can walk away at that price.
 
If I buy another amp, it will be a DSL100HR. Maybe if I find a nice JSX to replace the one I sold I would buy it.

I remember loving that amp when I got it, but I also remember not missing it when it was gone.
 
Not really in the market for a new amp, but I would do have some I'd like to have if I had room and time for more.

Like the recent Marshall Studio series, they look like fun especially the SV 20 and the 20 W Jubilee, or something from Dr. Z for tones on the clean side.

I've also been looking at Henriksen Jazz amps.

I have one of those in my music room right now. I bought it from a local pawn shop about 10 years ago and it's a fun little practice amp, but the volume pot is bad and it sticks about 1/2 way up.
 
The other benefit of the Crate is my girlfriend is moving in with her cat that loves to claw everything. I will move my Excelsior in the living room to the jam room in the basement and replace it with this. There is very little damage the cat can do to this amp. Once the cat moves in my office door will be shut so those amps will be safe.
 
Pretty happy with my Legacy 3. I would be interested in upgrading the Tweaker to a PRS Archon or EVH 5150 LBX when funds become available.
 
Kemper pretty much killed my amp gas. I kinda miss my Road King every once in a while but not enough to lug it around again
 
I ought to work towards a Soldano SLO 30. Whether it will ever happen I don't know. I might get sidetracked by getting one of the classic sources for eighties clean tones, either a Rockman XPR or a G-K 250RL.
