What two or more channel Mesa Amp can respectfully cover the following?
Oh, and I am not crazy enough to assume that anything is at face value.
Also, I know some things are redundant and that I am not a poet or a wordsmith.
So just a ball park estimate for REAL versatility and any limitations associated with your experience with the amp you feel best fits the bill.
O.K. here are some important goals.
Ability to have REAL clean "cleans".
Ability to have pushed using output tubes not preamp tubes.
Ability to have pushed using preamp tubes not output tubes.
Ability to have HI-GAIN using preamp tubes (much like Tremoverb).
Ability to have MAX-GAIN available to user using only output tubes, but at assignable or manageable playing levels.
Ability to adjust output for example switching from one power tube to one or more.
Ability to select output tubes and varying configurations of output tubes for levels and sound characteristics.
No use of a power soak, as this frightens me when I read the Mesa warnings regarding the use of such a technology.
I like the tones of respected artists and wish to "attempt" to build my own tone using my playing style and a Mesa amp that can respectfully cover what seems to be a large bandwidth.
Artists my tone is inspired by:
Gregg Howe
Jeff Beck
Ty Tabor
Steve Vai
Joe Satriani
Nuno Bettencourt
O.K. so lets keep this one going and hope for some really interesting feedback, debate and advise.
Thanks Everyone
