Hey guys this is my first post here, I've been lurking on the boards for a long time but I finally signed up. I've been looking for a new amp, currently I'm running a Pod X3 Live into an 18 watt Atomic Reactor 112 or a keyboard amp depending on how I feel.
I have found a used 3 channel Dual Rectifier(not the multi-watt) with a Mesa 4x12 traditional cab that a music store about 2 hours away is selling for $1000. I was thinking about going and buying it this Friday. The store seems legit and the guy I talked to says its in pretty good shape. I'm just wondering if there's anything I should look at when I go and is $1000 a good price for a head and 4x12 cab? I should say I live in Sask, Canada and around here it's pretty hard to find used amp's for prices like that.
I have also found a used multi-watt Triple Rectifier which was just serviced and new tubes were installed. The guy is selling it for $1000, might be able to get the price down a little on it. The only thing is I would have to either buy a cab or modify my Atomic and buy a speaker for it so I could use it for now.
I'm just wondering what everyone's opinion would be? Is the Dual Recto and Cab for $1000 a better deal then the newer multi-watt Triple?
