Members yngzaklynch Posted August 25, 2005 Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 Looking at Marshall or Marshall like amps. A Slash or ZW head would be preferable although for the right deal I will consider a DSL. Amp must have an fx loop. EDIT: One other amp I will consider is a VHT 50CL w/ EQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members J.B. Posted August 25, 2005 Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 Don't do it man! Save up or sell a guitar and buy a second amp! YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU SELL IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members yngzaklynch Posted August 26, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Originally posted by STEEL KAGE (Shaking head) +gozillion Kage and Dan I know the Mk IV is a killer amp but theres something about Marshalls that sound smoother.

Members riffy Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Hey Buddy! I have an idea!!!!!! Jim, go and buy a Soldano sp77 preamp and run it into the loop bypassing the Mark IVs preamp. That way you still have the Boogie sound when you want it and you have a really really hotrodded Marshall sound when you want it and all for less than $400 bones out of pocket now! I used to have a sp77 and used it with a Boogie 2:90 and it kicked all kinds of ass for metal and rock. Then I had the X88R and it was the same asskicking sound as well.! Give it some thought!

Members angelspade Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Never sell or trade your Mark or rectifier series Mesa amps...only a Mesa sounds like a Mesa. If you like the charecter of the tone at all hold on to it, or more than likely you will regret it down the line. I'm sure many forumites can confirm this statement. Just my opinion.

Members danhops Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 I'm not a Boogie guy by any means. I'm a Marshall guy, but you've been down that road and passed on it already. Your just chasing your tail at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted a clip of the Mark IV with that setting and EVERYBODY thought it was a Marshall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
