I'm getting back into playing after about 10 years (various reasons). I play a wide range of music (blues, pop, classic rock, hard rock, metal) and I need an amp.
When I was in a band in high school (around '87), the other guitarist had a Studio 22 that I loved. I want to get a boogie and would like to spend up to $1400 or so.
I've check out a Roadster combo, Stilletto Ace combo, Lonestar, and Express. I liked the Roadster best because of the combination of good cleans and good high gains. New is a bit out of my price range. On paper the Rect-o-verb looks pretty good and closer to my budget, but I haven't played one. I've heard that the Recto cleans are not as good as the Roadster.
I saw a used Recto for $1100 recently, but I haven't seen a used Roadster since I've been looking.
So, I'm looking for some opinions and help.
Thanks,
