well... i played a custom boutique plexi amp by some guy thats in upstate ny and it had the most amazing clean. It was warm fat and chewey but crystal clean... had that little wing/wind cries mary kinda of warmth to it.... it was a 50 watter through a genz benz g flex cab... amazing. So since then ive been like "well plexi's sound great for cleans.
im definetly getting petrucci, no question. I just want to bea ble to have a dnamic clean with great headroom and no breakup. i realy dig the fender deville clean too. Idk... have you ever seen steve stevens rig? 5150's, plexi's, fulltone effects and EVH Axis's. i relaly dig that rig concept. Steve Morse as well... he's using 5150's but idk how he gets such a great clean out of it, unless he's using somthing else.
anyways... i asked the guy more about the amp. Its a 69-70 model. Not too sure if its definetly a plexi but its a 100 watt tremolo for sure. ive looked them up and found cool clips of them with THD hot plates and they nail the brown sound... not like im definetly trying to achieve it ... but... its a nice sound none the less.
if you can suggest a decent head that has the characteristics im looking for it would help me out a lot. Ideally i would like to run two heads and two 4x12 cabs.. or mabye a 3 cab setup for left right wet and dry in the middle... idk... maybe it isnt practical though. I have been liking the peavey classic 50 and would really like to get my hands on the discontinued classic 100 head. The peavey classic series has great gain and cleans as well. Just let me know what you think. im really thinking of this as more of a long term kind of gear aquisition process, nothing immediate. thanks guys
God bless,
Tony
