I'm looking to pickup another Boogie amp.
I am trying to decide between the Tremoverb and a Heartbreaker.
Can anyone enlighten me on the pro's and con's of each?
I live on an island and can't drive anywhere to try a Tremoverb. There is a store on the other side of the island that has an NOS Heartbreaker though. The guy won't cut me a deal, and he's had it forever, but I might still be able to leverage him a bit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The types of music that I play range from Blues to Classical, to Metal. Mostly original, but some covers, so I need an amp that can cover some territory.
Favorite bands are:
Classic Rock:
Santana (older, pre-Dumble tones)
ZZ-Top
Almann Brothers
Hendrix
Dire Straits
Metal:
Faith No More (although I hate that JCM 900 tone)
Jimmie's Chicken Shack
Maiden
Priest
Rock:
Big Wreck
Widespread Panic
Freddy Jones Band
Van Halen
I have amps that I can play Metal on. What I'm looking for is an amp that has the most available tones in it.
I play mostly Strats with stacked humbuckers and Lace Hot-Gold Sensors. I also have a few guitars with dual humbuckers.
I love great cleans with tons of deep lush Reverb. I also like to let loose and crank it with lots of Gain.
I had a Mark IV, but found it to be too focused on the Lead channel, and the Rhythm 2 was not what I was looking for in an amp. The Cleans were nice.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know I'm asking a lot, but aren't we all?
