Hey dudes, I'm an ex boogie player and im back in the amp market again. I play every style of music under the sun that could be made with a guitar, and this is no understatement; my main gig is a death metal band in the realm of dying fetus/animosity and I play a lot of classic rock and blues, country and indie rock as well. I need something that will be versitile yet simple. I've had a nomad 100 before and it was pretty cool, but constantly broke. I've played the recto series and I find the clean channel to be completely lack luster and the distortion to be a little awkward for me to use for anything other then balls to the wall kinda stuff.
I really love hotrodded marshall tones, but i need a little more gain then i can find in most amps that can do that (IE bogner shiva). EL34 grind is where i want my distortions to be at, but with enough gain and power behind them to do metal chunk and enough tone to it that i can roll back the gain and play classic rock or country and a clean channel that'll do sort of a fat chimey british clean- ala' vox ac-30 style or a fender with more midrange maybe.
This is a tall order right? Right.
Rectos arent for me and the mark IV's seem quite complicated for my tastes.
I played a stil Ace once on vacation in georgia a while back and i thought it killed. I didnt detune the guitar i was playing to give it the metal test though. It rocked for everything else however and i'm interested in getting one of those.
Someone please tell me if this amp contains that sort of versitility!
