i have no clue why mesa discontinued the f series. i own many mesas and marshalls but my f-30 is the amp i "go to" most often. otter

my deuce does zep and floyd just fine. just twist the knobs :) imho the fat clean is as good as any fender and i've owned several over the years. i have no idea how mesa makes 34's sound as sweet as 6's :) otter

i own several boogies and several marshalls i use each for totally different things obviously, they sound different i have never been satisfied with just a boogie or just a marshall otter

my rectoverb switches instantly like all my marshall amps do. my stiletto ace has such a long delay that it is unplayable in a live channel switching situation. mesa told me this was normal :( my stiletto deuce stage has only a slight delay when switching. otter

i own an ace combo and a deuce series 1 head un modded. i found the ace to be harsh and wayyy too bright for my tastes. retubed it with dougstubes and was satisfied. however, i much prefer the deuce series 1 and when i want a stiletto tone always use the deuce. i use an avatar 4x12 w/...

i've had nothing but great service feom doug. he emails back very quickly and answers his phone during business hours. he's always be more then helpful and knowledgable. i wouldnt spend my $$ anywhere else. otter

el34's hands down

i did the same search and got nothing with any relevance otter

"but if the amp sounds that much different/better why buy it in the first place ?" hype :) i bought my ace after watching a guitar player video demoing all the amps various settings and modes. the player used what appeared to be a stock gibson explorer for for all demos. the amp sounded...

doug also did a retube of my stiletto ace. before the retube i was ready to ebay it. dougs tubes transformed it from a very brittle sounding amp into a wonderfully warm amp. and yes, it sounds at least 10x better. otter

i own several boogies and one of them is a rectoverb 50 combo. the 50 watt rectoverb combo is a tone monster and if you are looking for authentic recto sounds they're there. otter

my ace was so bright that you couldnt stand to plug a single coil guitar into it. humbucker guitars were only a little better. it sounded like a $10.00 peavy transistor amp that a pawn shop had thrown into the trash. tried different speakers, no real help. i was about to ebay it when someone...

my f30 has the thickest, creamiest lead tone you could ask for. it also has a killer crunch rythm sound. the clean channel has tons of bottom and a nice sound also. it is totally silent regardless of gain/volumn settings. i have owned and played boogies for almost 30 years and for my style(s)...

i own several marshalls ,a rectoverb, stiletto ace and an f-30. i like them all, but my "go to" amp is always the f-30. i run single coil strats, fat strats, a prs ce 24, a number of gibsons and ibanez guitars through the f-30 and have never heard a bad sound. i find that the f-30 clean...

i use my rectoverb in a SMALL home studio, miked up, at VERY low volumn levels and it sounds/records great. i have always prefered mesas for their pre-amp od/distortion and never really cared for their power tube od/distortion. it's just a personal preference. i did not care for my rectoverbs...

you guys arent gonna believe this. i had several new 12xa7's in my studio and decided to change out the preamp tubes this afternoon. when i turned the amp around to start the exchange of tubes the plugin for the footswitch literally fell to the ground. when i plugged the footswitch in i did...

i bought one a few months back. hooked it to my stiletto ace. it sounded really good when i used the low strings but every time i hit g, b or hi e string it had a rattleing sound that was really annoying. tryed all my strats, prs and gibsons. same thing. plugged it into my f-30, rectoverb...

i have a very late model rectoverb and installed some new el34 boogie tubes the other day. i also flipped the bias switch when making the change. i really loved the change in the rectoverbs sound in all modes and both channels. i never cared for the amps sound with the 6l6's in it. anyhow, i...

stilletto ace. my ace EASILY does most marshall sounds AND beyond :) otter

never played a nomad but i can tell you this about the f30. after getting my f30 i no longer turn on my stiletto ace, studio 22, rectoverb, etc., etc. the f30 is unlike any other mesa i have ever owned. no endless tweaking needed. set the knobs to 12 o clock and play. if you WANT to tweak...
