Re: mesa boogie road king

I played a road king and that thing is a p.o.s , that is by far not the best on the market , the best on the market is , VHT , Diezel , Soldano and Bogner and also ENGL.

Re: mesa boogie road king

The problem i face with it , is that its super muddy and has no real balls to it. Its got some great features on it but , to even hear the mids you have to boost them like hell , and it useally turns muddy in my opinion. Plus its not very clear sounding and is way over priced. I dont think it sucks but compared to the brands i named above it does suck compared to them , and i know Peavey 5150's i would easily pick over a road king. But thats just my 0.02$

ColdVayne....DEAD-ON!

If u want to play an amp that can sound pretty heavy and hide all your mistakes in the mix get a Mesa.....

If you want an amp that's brutal ( and i mean BRUTAL ) with lots of tone and bottom end, that will make every note you play sing through with a crystal clear crunch, get a VHT, Bognor etc......

Of course this all depends on your budget [img]graemlins/eyes.gif[/img]

Re: mesa boogie road king

I own a Dual Recto Rackmount and it is very articulate... ??? [img]graemlins/brow.gif[/img] If you take the time to screw with it they sound great.

I dont think it hides mistakes. It has great tone in my opinion. I guess it depends on your ears...

I also have a 5150 and that sounds killer too.

I would sit down with a bunch of amps ( go to a store that carries most of the stuff you are looking at) with your guitar and if possible a cabinet that is like the one you own and make your own assumptions. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ok for one , untill you own one dont talk about them . 2nd , metallica scoopes the crap out of theyre sound and dials they'res completly different. 3rd the ones they use is a vh4 , not the almighty herbert which i own and i will put my herbert against any amp and will destory it and i even own the new 1.4 verson of it and it is the updated version with better mids and warmth. I have owned many many many amps including a mesa dual , and that thing i didnt like one bit but thats my two cents. Oh and one last thing about distortion . Most of your nu-metal bands play top of the line amps but dont dial them right at all and everyone on this board will always complain about bands tone like korn or slipknot , or even SOAD. ( and please forgive my spelling my keyboard is on its way out and the buttons dont work half the time )
