searing boogie lead

[Geiri]

Hey dudes

Thanx for a great forum. When I first heard a mark4 many years ago I got hooked on mesa gear and sounds but actually never bought one until my dual rectumfrier. The thing is I was always aiming for that searing boogie lead from bands like stryper and such but never got close, so now many amps and many disapointments later I found the F 50 mmmmmmmmmmmmm. I borrowed one from the store and need your input on how to get that tone. A guy on the boogie boards anders hoeg comes really close with his F 30 but I need guidance regarding eq, hotplate, pedals and such, and regarding the express isn't that just an f 50 with more options??

Sorry for the long thread, I'm just so glad I found you:thu:

Hi Geiri. It must be me you are referring to. I would say about the same as Schmoog, except for no reverb, and mid at about 12 o'clock. actually this is my setting wether i'm using channel 2 with or without contour. Then a Shure sm57 at the edge of the speakercone, and that's it! For the clips that you have heard i have probably used a Patrick Eggle guitar w. humbuckers, or a fender tele am. deluxe.

Yup that's it.

All reports are in. Geiriman has found his tone Every amp manufacturer can now close shop, there is no need for anything other than Mesa.

Amen

Thanx guys
