I own a VHT 2 90 2, which I use with a Triaxis. A friend of mine has the MESA 2:90which he uses with a VHT Valvulator preamp. Basically he is interested in a straight trade for the power amps. I gather there is mixed opinion as to which is better, and it may all be personal opinion but I'd like to hear your guys though. I really only use hi gain sounds, so I'd like to hear about the functions on the 2:90 which can be controlled via the triaxis; I'm figuring some of these might be good for straight up low end thump (I'm mostly using 7 strings tuned to A). My only concern really is the mesa having 8 power tubes. I don't play all that much, maybe 2 jams per week and 2-4 gigs per month, so it shouldn't be THAT much of an issue I guess. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to hear a 2:90 first, there's none around here and this guy is about an 8 hour drive away.
I understand that really I need to hear it, but essentially I'd be doing the trade purely for the Deep/modern/half drive functions. If I just want maximum "chug" are these features likely to appeal to me?
EDIT: My friend owns the MESA 2:90......typo up above...
