Ok, so far I've had the following amps/rigs and for some reason I've sold or traded the:
1. Peavey 5150
2. Peavey Triple XXX (modded by Voodoo Amps)
3. Peavey 50/50 paired with a Rocktron Piranha
4. Peavey 50/50 paired with an ADA MP1
5. Line 6 Vetta I hd upgraded to the Vetta II software
I've also owned a TC Electronics G Major for effects.
Well, the thing is that no matter what I do, I get frustrated with the tone I get with these rigs. Right now I don't gig anymore and pretty much have become a bedroom player. I have owned expensive guitars (PRS, ESP, Jackson, Charvel, Ibanez, etc) and have used a lot of Dimarzio and SD pickups and still find myself looking for something else. I know that guitarists are always looking for the perfect tone, but the thing is that I've become so frustrated that sometimes I've lost the motivation for playing.
Is there an amp in the market that could give me enough gain, low end response, good string articulation and definition, that I could use for playing at home and ocassionally jamming with friends? They closest I got to what I was looking for was my modded Triple XXX. I was thinking about a Mesa Mark IV or maybe trying the new VHT Deliverance. The Peavey Penta and the JSX also sound attractive. I play 80's metal, hard rock and "shred type music" ala Satriani, Vai, etc. I only like to use delay and a touch of reverb. What could you recommend?
