I've got a Rocket 44 which, from what I understand is a kissing cousin to the subway series. 44 watts, single channel with 3 modes, silent record, etc. I've had it for about 12 years.
I went to Guitar Center yesterday for a while just see what else was out there. I couldn't find anything under...
I've got a Rockett 44 that I like well enough. There have been some Mesa's that I think are great, but haven't been great enough to move me off of top dead center to buy a different one. Perhaps others are in the same boat, but I thought I might express my dream Mesa for grins.
Rect-o-verb...
I've seen various posts here and elsewhere claiming the preference of using a boost pedal to hit the front end of a tube amp versus turning up the gain knob.
To me, it would appear that technically, the appraoches are pretty similar. They are both causing the pre-amp to run hotter. That said...
