I am interested in these three amps:
- i am currently a basement player- 18w is my current amp and i like to crank it up a little bit, neighbors aren't a problem. would like to preserve my hearing within reason.
- hoping to gig in the future- currently busy with school and working.
- play all styles, but would say metallica style gain and above is my main territory. i like dark chimey cleans with a tight distortion.
- price isnt really an issue, aslong as i am happy with what i get.
i have been eyeing a mark v for a while, but will have to buy new as i don't see any on the used market near me. 2249 for the head.
RA100 will also have to be new, for the same reason. 2200 for head.
Roadster i can get used. 1500 for head, 1700 for combo.
I am leaning towards a mark or ra100. ra100 really intrigues me because it seems simple to control and has a great power soak option that is perfect. mark is a similar story, more options, not as good power options. I tend to be a tweaker- i like to hear different sounds out of my amp every time i use it. Roadster sounds badass from videos i have watched online and has nice dark cleans. loudness looks like it would be a problem as it is only 50/100 watts.
any help?
