I have happily owned a Tremoverb for many years. I love my amp like no other I've ever owned or heard, the tone and versatility are simply amazing. My tone is more blues/rock/alternative and I stick with the clean/vintage/blues channels all of the time. High gain is not my thing, so is not a consideration.
The only thing going through my mind is that 100W is complete overkill for what I need now as I grow older. My gigging days are long gone, and turning the master knob past 9 o'clock is likely to be met with complaints from the wife and maybe even the neighbors. I've considered a few other brands, but every time I play them I just miss my Mesa more and know that I'm going to stick with something from Petaluma.
So what's the logical step for me? The Mark V seems absolutely wonderful, but it is also very expensive and I'd never use the 90W mode. The Mini Rectifier seems perfect, but how much flexiblility would I really be losing?
Would appreciate some input and feedback from anyone else that is in my position and wants to take a step down in power but not lose the depth or variety of tones.
Thanks!
