Honeymoon over in a way, but yes...a long term relationship. I wish i could have about 4 mesa halfstacks. rectifier, stiletto, mark V, and Electra dyne stacks. That would cure my gas for amps. but that is a long term goal. for now, i have my do it all amp, the dyne. The dyne just has a magic about it. it is so simple, yet sounds sooo good. I can throw any musical style at it (with the exception of modern metal) and it delivers. sure it has limitations, there is no amp that can "do it all." It doesnt get super heavy and saturated like a recto, or liquidy like a mark, or midrangey and bright like a stiletto (i have owned all of these amps at one time or another). but the dyne's tone is so good that it doesnt matter. i would never trade it for any other amp. its tone is not a copy of anything. it has its own voice. It can cover all of these other amp styles until i can get the actual amps...not that i need them, but i am an amp *****. If i want recto, or stiletto, or mark tones...depending on how i set up the dyne...i can get VERY close. Not to mention the dyne has a clean channel that rivals the lonestar and exceeds all of the other amps out there. So the dyne is here with me to stay. i will continue to build my collection of amps, but my number one, go to, meat and potatoes amp will always be the dyne. Oh by the way...i hate the name and the way it looks. mesa could have done better. but once you plug in and crank it...F**K the name and the look, this amp is the ****!

Still very enamored with this amp- I no longer search/gas for amps, just gear to use with *this* amp...the ED is the amp for me....
Honey moon in the sense of wow I can't wait to get home from work to play my Electra Dyne, yeah that part is over and has been for some time.
But as far as is there another amp whose tone I want more, no. The ED has a tremendous smooth overdrive that really kills.
What I find nice about having two amps is when I get tired of one I just switch to the other and it has the new feel.
Between the two amps I have,while I feel I like both equally I do play the ED more.
Until I
1. walk into a music store and hear something better
2. go back a few more times and makes sure it wasn't my imagination
then ED is here to stay.
So far point 1 has yet to happen. And since I bought the ED I have played more different Mesa's, Marshall's, Randall's and Egnator's then I care to remember.
I might at some point trade it in for a head and cab simply becuase of the wieght, but for no other reason then that.
Tone wise, this combo sounds like head running through a closed back 4x12

I've started to play some of my other Boogies again, but I still think the ED is one of the all time greats.

I bought the ED to serve as the polar opposite to my Mark IIC+. The blue channel will go into places that the Mark series has a hard time recreating. It's all about the voicing. No honeymoon, just wanted something that would get into the vintage mid-gain territory. I got that and a whole lot more with the ED. Both the C+ and the ED are so responsive to your pick attack. They inspire you to express your emotions through the guitar. That, my friend, is what it's all about! 8)

The lust is so very strong..... :twisted:
Went back to the store and effed around with a Stiletto Ace the other day.
I came pretty close to buying one and did some serious A/B ing with it and
my ED, and decided on the ED. That was 5 or 6 months ago.
Don't ya love it when it really hits home that you made the right amp decision :mrgreen:
Not to p!ss off any Ace lovers, but for me, the E-D is a long term keeper.

I just got one of my dream amps and I'm thinking about getting rid of my ED so I can pick up another guitar, but I do love the ED. I don't really need two amps, but then again, do I really need another guitar?

I finally got a Bogner Ecstasy 101B and 4x12 and I'm just blown away! It's hard to describe, but it just sounds like "Rock and Roll" to me. It covers the early Van Halen sound like no other amp I've played through, and it can get plenty heavy when needed, plenty heavy.primal said:

I'll give that a big HELL NO. Just ripped the high E string apart at the ball end (Elixer 10's) getting some serious mean tones on the '71 LP. 8)
I have the first "big" gig next Saturday so we'll see how it does in that setting. But this amp kills at rehearsals and everyone who has heard it says it's the ballsiest amp they've ever heard.
Also, I have not found a guitar yet that this amp doesn't love.

Yeah, put the Gibson in the case and pulled out the Anderson: way different, but not in a bad way. More tuning at the guitar controls than at the amp, for sure.
:wink:
