Hi all - and it's good to be on the Mesa forum.
I'm looking at buying a new Mesa, - but I don't wanna go the Marshall route, because it's too easy, and the products are too commercial.
I want something classy, and that is still going to be just as classy in another 10 years time.
I need to use it at low volumes for recording, and general home playing, but I'm also going to need a live set-up, so I'm after a head / cab.
Also not just looking for an all-out metal drive, because I need the versitility for richer blues & cleans - however I play a lot of high gain stuff, and reviews of the Lone Star suggest there isn't enough gain there for this purpose. Money isn't an issue.
Right away, I checked out the 3xRect, but that might be a step in the wrong direction, because I'm not going to need 100 w + particularly. Same with the 2xRect.
The Mesa website says that the single rect comes also as a Rect-O-Verb, but what's the difference between the two? The ROV review says that it's awesome at lower volumes, and great for cleans/blues/metal.
Any ideas . . . .
