OK,
I know am asking the impossible BUT
OK, lil background.
From UK (where ALOT is expensive and hard to get/test).
I have a Rivera KR55 head in UK (currently for sale) which is great but don't want another here (am in Texas now, to stay).
I have owned ENGL Screamer, Marshall JCM, Mesa Single Recto and the KR55.
At the moment I am not in a band and probably won't be for year or so.
So I mainly play at home (therefore not really looking for mega loud amp that is only good at max vol., also not been an attenuator fan thus far).
So am looking for an amp to go from chewy/thick cleans to Classic (AC/DC - Lizzy) Rock to hopefully more gain for those Metal moments ala Alter Bridge/Priest/Metallica etc.
Now I KNOW this is asking alot, air has to be move therefore vol. needed yadda.
Anyway, even here in US gear is not always easy to find to demo so I relish your opinions.
On my list thus far (bear in mind I am looking as low price as poss. to aid my now PRS addiction but, looking bout $1,000-$1,500 but can go more for IT!)
Shur Badger - Power Scaling a plus but can it go high gain enough?
Fargen mini-Plex - same deal.
Mesa? My recto verb was cool. Tried a MKIV this weekend but WAY loud!
Diezel? (price owy).
Mojave - gain? power dampening?
MESA Tremoverb????????????
There are a plethora of amps but again being an Ex Pat I had somewhat limited chance to demo many so all input is VERY welcome.
Cheers.
