A little help please - Amp dilemma

thejay · Feb 19, 2013

I have a Roadster and a Rectoverb... I am no longer playing out anymore and don't need all the firepower. Love both amps and have always wanted a Vox AC30 so I am thinking about unloading the ROV to get one. I could quite possibly stay within the Mesa family and go to a TA15 or 30.

Any input?

You try the Electra Dyne? Still a lot of fire power but with el34s might give you the tone your after, especially in 45 watt mode

Stay Mesa, and go with the TA 15 or 30. That is my completely biased opinion. :lol:

I sent you a PM about your ROV.

I currently run my roadster on el34s and the ROV on 6L6s. Wondering if it is worth a switch to a TA

I don't see a reason to have both a Roadster and Rectoverb.

A big part of the AC30 sound is the Celestion Blue speakers... something to consider if you're looking at a TA-15.

Got the ROV for smaller gigs, lugging a Roadster head and 4x12 in road cases was a little for smaller venues. Both are great amps as I said and I run different power sections for home recording now which is nice.
