In my original thread, I had mentioned that I could not decide between a few select rectifiers, both old and new. Now I've narrowed it down to two: the multi-watt Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, and the Mesa Boogie Roadster, with a video to boot. The reason I've included the Roadster in the mix is because in an (old, maybe from 2006) interview, Adam D (one of the guitarists in Killswitch Engage) mentioned that for live performances, they used Mesa Roadsters and triple rectifiers (which isn't that big a difference from the duals). While this is true, I could never figure out what they used in the video, when they played live in Worcester for a special DVD. Hell, it could be a Framus Dragon for all I know. Since I'm not at liberty to try either of these amps out anywhere, I thought I'd make a topic almost identical to the last, only this time, I have something on video, and for you guys to listen to. The tone you hear in the video, is the holy grail tone I've been looking for. Now, here's the question...whether it's Mesa Boogies or not, which sounds closest in the video, the dual rectifier or the Roadster? I'm asking this here, because I've only tried the old 3 channel dual rectifier, and that's it. You guys would know which one sounds closer than the other one better, because more than likely, some of you here have owned either or both, and are more familiar of what they sound like than me.
