New Amp??

[guitar.michael]

The Mesa Boogie Eletra-Dyne is absolutely amazing. It has clean, low and high gain modes. I've played EBMM's, Gibsons, Fenders etc. through the amp and they all sound superb through it. I've had a lot of guitar players come through the studio who have just fallen in love with the way this thing sounds. It's very simple, yet incredibly versatile. The clean channel can be cranked to give you a very pleasing clean natural breakup. The high channel deffinately is voiced like many of the classic British amps- think shronky Marshall tones. We've got a lot of amps at the studio, but as per the styles you mentioned, versatility and quality this guy is hard to beat.

Agree with all of the above. Mark V is a tone machine, most versatile amp I've ever played. Of course, the head will cost you $2099 and the combo $2199. Nobody stands behind their product like Mesa does, they are a lot like Music Man in that sense. I've tried the Renegade head as well, my favorite Egnater amp by far. Good luck in your decision.

Damn,
This is like being in the best strip club in the country and having to decide which one to take home. I want them all ! Check out this clip of Dean playing the Egnater Renegade. If he is truly playing straight thru the amp, I'm hooked:

Hey,

Talking about Mesa. The MKIV's going for about $1,200 on the Bay are a great deal. Tanks as far as build goes, options galore and tone!

Yep +1 on the boogie MKV. Cleans are absolutely perfect. Not to mention it lends itself well to a good ts or wnat ever driver pedal you like. But you really hit blues heaven in the MK 1 mode of channel 2. Its this round liquid fluid like solo tone that just does it for me. It will hold a note for days and if set moderately on the gain knob, it wont even feed back or decay for a while. Its just hold that note in space and lets you bend it all over the place and just SINGS! And yeah channel 3 will cover rock to gringcore. And anything in between. I really feel it is the perfect amp. Course ive never played a dumble or an original 2c+ but....

1). Killer clean tone

2). Killer Blues tone

3).Killer Hard rock tone(not grunge metal!)

4). Ease of use *my cybertwin se is a modeling tube amp. 300 presets are overkill. I want 3 sounds only. Thanks for all the help, guys.

If you are into Fender tones, try out the Super-Sonic. 3 channels: Vobrolux, Bassman, and Modern Gain.
I have the 60watt 1x12 combo and its great for all my Fender tonal needs.
Used you can get'em for ~ $700.00
