Any Amp Suggestions?

Post by danfran17 »

Looking to buy a new amp and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? I just tried out the Mesa-Boogie dual rectifier and it had a nice CRUNCH to it but maybe there is some other amp I am overlooking.

I got the Dual Rectifier Top with a 2x12 Speaker Cabinet and I highly recommend it. It sounds so smooth and aggro at the same time and you got many possibilities to change your sound. I use it with ESP Guitars and EMG-81 pickups and those high gain pickups fit perfectly. I also have a Electro Harmonix Small Clone Chorus Footswitch, which is a really nice supplement to the Recto.

Annother great AMP is the Randall RM50B, a "cheap" Metallica AMP. Not the biggest, but the best its size!

You have to pick up the Mesa Boogie !! I got a F30 plus a Digitech GNX4 and I have to say, It's like I'm in heaven every time I play. It's just awesome !!
