Of course the GAS Demons are at it again. :twisted:
Here are the 3 amps that I'm looking at based on my budget and availability to me:
1. Heartbreaker 2x12 combo: New Old Stock, it's been sitting in a store for 6 years and had very little play, $1,100 + tax.
2. Nomad 100 2x12 combo: New Old Stock, same story as the Heartbreaker, footswitch is very scratched up though, but the amp looks brand new, $1,100 + tax.
3. Tremoverb 2x12 combo off of Ebay or the for sale section on this forum, about the same price as the other 2 amps, but history unknown.
Here are my questions:
1. Which amp has better Reverb, I'm thinking it's going to be the Hearbreaker?
2. Which amp is more sturdy? I don't tour, and don't even gig anymore, but these suckers are heavy and I don't want it to break the 1st time it falls over, even though I have an amp repair shop.
3. Which amp has better Clean tones?
In the last few years, I've primarily become a Strat player, although I still own a few guitars with humbuckers.
I have a few Vintage Fenders and have been spoiled by that sweetness that can't be found anywhere else. I'm basically looking for something close to the tone of my Pro Reverb, that also has channel switching, and a few other features.
I'm a recovering Metal Head that likes playing Classic Rock - ZZ Top, Alman Brothers, Robin Trower, etc. But I also like to rock the house now and then witn something heavy.
I have a Soldano, so I'm not worried about the Gain channel. I am more worried about the Cleans.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I haven't made it to the store yet to play the Heartbreaker and the Nomad.
The Heartbreaker looks very sweet, but the Nomad has so many knobs, whats a guy to do?
