Which rig would you get?

[marcg71]

Ok - need some opinions. I've been gasing for a new amp. I play a wide range of music - I'm in two bands, a blues band and a cover band. I need to pull of a range of music, from Albert King and BB King to Black Crowes/Zep to Foo and Puddle of Mud. If I had deep pockets I'd have at aleast 3 amps, but I don't. Currently I have a Marshall DSl 50 runnning through a 1936 cab & running an OCD/Keeley Ds1 to have a plethora of different gain settings - I'm not in love with this rig but plan on keeping the Marshall for backup. So keeping in mind my application which would you go for below?


Orange Rockerverb 50 through 1x12 Orange PPC

Orange Rockerverb 50 through 1x12 Mesa Boogie Cab?

Mesa Rectoverb through 1x12 Mesa Boogie Cab? with 6l6s or El34s?

Something else?


Your help is greatly appreciated.
Marc

Orange Rockerverb 50 and the matching 4x12. Run it at the same time with the Marshall rig, stacked so that the 4x12 is on the bottom, then the Marshall 2x12, then the Orange head with the Marshall on top. Bass on 10, mids on 10, highs wherever you want 'em, tune to C# and post clips!

I am having hard time imagining Zep tunes with messa .... BC's were pretty marshally too most of the time ... I think orange.

Thanks for all the replies, I can't tell whose kidding between Ponch and Empty Pockets!

Dr.Mavashi - would switching the Mesa to EL34s help for that middle of the road gain stage?

I'm NOT kidding dude. That rig would sound like Satan's testicles slapping against your forehead.
