    Re: Mesa F series amps????

    i was searching for an amp a while ago and tried out a F series boogie at GC. I played a prs thru it and thought the amp sounded very bland.

    For that price, you are better off with a peavey. I don't know what kind of sound you are looking for, but the classic 30's sound great for a fender wanna be or the xxl/xxx/ 5150 combos are great sounding high gain amps.

    You can also try to score a Soldano amp on ebay which in my opinion sound killer.

    just my 2¢

        find yourself a M/B .50 cal (el84 model) in other words not the Plus model. i love it.

            Hey, I have no Brooks and Dunn trauma so I am a peavey fan with no taboos... I like these and I think they will do fine:

            Peavey 2x12

            Peavey 30

            Classic 50

            I would also consider the ENGL Fireball you were offered above if budget allows...

              I did play through an F30 before and I have to say that for a small amp I really like it. I thought the tone is really nice at low volumes and I was able to pull all the gain I wanted.

              However, I think you could find a better value elsewhere as Mesa combos are overpriced IMO.

                Cool, to be honest I really dont know what I want to get for an amp. I was just kicking around Ideas and that Mesa F30 looked pretty interesting. If I could bag a good used one at the right price, I might jump. But I am not set on that particular amp. I am just thinking at this point. I would like to keep it in the $500 range. I figured I could snag a used F30 for that. But I am open to other options. Has anyone tried those Marshall AVT50 combos?? those looked intersting too. I would be interested in knowing what anyone thought of them. I would be interested in what other amps you guys would recommend. I want a clean channel, an relatively HI gain lead channel. Reverb on each channel. beyond that I am open to suggestions. Let me know what you think. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

                Thanks!!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
