Members SkyhighRocks Posted September 23, 2006 Members Share Posted September 23, 2006 I've been wanting to try different amps alot lately...even though I love my DSL. Amps that interest me besides the Herbert( way too pricey for an amp) are Mesa rectos and Mark IVs. What do you guys do when this happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SkyhighRocks Posted September 23, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2006 Saving is out of the question. Got too many bills piled up to buy another amp on top of what I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RelicJunky Posted September 23, 2006 Members Share Posted September 23, 2006 Go to the local GC and play a bunch of over priced stuff, this usually gets it out of my system. If something really stands out, my credit card usually takes a big hit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SkyhighRocks Posted September 23, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2006 Credit card is also out of consideration here....too much on it. Ahhhhh!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had those Jeff...can't stand them. lol I'd want an amp to gig with, not for the house. I just need to get this out of my system somehow.

They're around $400 used and will give you Blackface cleans and Mark IIC+ heavy tones. Since you already have a rack, you can run the pre into your DSL's FX return.

Members blues_rocker Posted September 23, 2006 Members Share Posted September 23, 2006 funny, i have a DSL as well but have been craving a Mark IV for awhile as well...cant afford it at the moment though nor justify buying a new amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd need an A/B at minimum or a MIDI switched router if you really wanted to have a fully integrate setup. The Axess GRX4 will do what you need. You could even through a couple of stomps in a rack drawer with the GRX4. I know this looks crazy, but once it's connected, you leave it alone. Just replace the modeler with the Studio Pre.

Members veil Posted September 23, 2006 Members Share Posted September 23, 2006 I've been wanting to try different girls alot lately...even though I love my girlfriend. Girls that interest me besides the blondes( way too pricey for a girl) are brunettes and Asians. What do you guys do when this happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xbryanx Posted September 23, 2006 Members Share Posted September 23, 2006 i just got my DSL50 head yesterday one of the best sounding amps ive played, sounds like a jcm900 with all the low end of a mesa recto. but it is a one trick pony, so once i get an AB box ill use my deville for some lighter distortion stuff. im not a fan of the Crunch channel on the DSL. i think the only amp that could kill the dsl for me is a bogner uberschall:love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
