Members DarkCide Posted February 17, 2007 Members Share Posted February 17, 2007 I'm considering selling my Single Rectifier Solo Head II. The amp is in MINT condition. Got it from Bazguitarman a few months ago. Asking $900 shipped within the US. The amp comes with a footswitch, amp cover and a case for the footswitch. I'm including 2 6L6 tubes and 2 EL34 power amp tubes. The SR is a great amp but I'm looking for something different. An amp that focuses more on the upper mids rather than the lower mids. I guess that's why Eric (Bazguitarman) traded it with me since he was looking for a different tone. I want to sell so I can finance other purchases and I can't afford to keep too much gear around. I've used this amp for a total of 2 hours. So you're basically getting a new amp for $400 less than what you would be at a guitar store.

Members BAZGUITARMAN Posted February 18, 2007 Members Share Posted February 18, 2007 Yeah, that`s my old amp. It basically looks like a new amp for real. I never had any trouble out of it and it was always consistant. Talal is also a great guy to deal with. He and I talked a couple of times on the phone and he is a stand up guy. Really cares about music and appreciates good equipment. I wouldn`t doubt for a second that the amp still looks brand new. Good luck bro. What are you thinking of going with? Maybe you should retry the 5150 II, but have it modded with a new OT and choke. Just a little bit of work to refine it. I`m still debating over what to have done to mine. I`m actually really liking it in stock form but definitaly want to get the three channel mod done. And also have the bias mod done. Don`t forget that new "metal" amp that Scott (Splawn) is working on. It sounds like it could be a killer. Scott says he is basing the gain tone on the early Fear Factory tones.

Thanks for the good words. I'm glad you're enjoying the 5150II.I thought about getting another Peavey, but I have decided to try different amps until I find something I am completely happy with. I think the Single Recto is a really nice amp. Too bad it was not what I am looking for.This is going to be huge step for me, but I'm thinking of getting the ENGL SE. Yep, going all out. Still thinking about it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BAZGUITARMAN Posted February 18, 2007 Members Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hey Eric. Thanks for the good words. I'm glad you're enjoying the 5150II.

Too bad it was not what I am looking for. This is going to be huge step for me, but I'm thinking of getting the ENGL SE. Yep, going all out. Still thinking about it though. The SE is an awesome amp for sure. That is a big step. They are pricey. If you get a chance check out the new Marshall JVM. A lot of the guys are pretty impressed with it. I havn`t tried one myself, but will definitaly be looking for one to try.It`s funny. That Single Recto was such a killer little amp. If the "modern" mode wasn`t so wacky I would have kept it. The other tones the amp gets are all nice. I wanted to like that amp soooo much. I am still loving the 5150 II. I don`t think I`ll ever get rid of it. I may buy other amps, but I`ll hold on to the `ol shifty 1 shifty.Good luck.Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DarkCide Posted February 18, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 18, 2007 The invader is also on the list. I've read many different reviews about it and I'm not able to really know what the amp is all about. Some love it and some are disappointed. But most say it's geared more towards rock than metal.

LOL. Thanks Talal. Everyone is giving me a hard time because of the thread I started last week. I don`t mind. It`s all in good humor. I was thinking maybe you should try a Framus Cobra. They are sorta pricey, but aren`t too bad on the used market. I really want to try one myself. The general concensus is they are one of the best high gain amps ever made. My local GC started carrying them, but they don`t have an amp room so you can`t try one at gigging volume. I don`t know how they sell any amps. Who wants to buy something that you don`t know what it sounds like? Good luck, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DarkCide Posted February 19, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 19, 2007 GC carries Framus now? Strange! I heard that the Cobras don't sound good at low volumes, just like Boogies. I was thinking of getting the Cobra since leaned more towards the SE. I really want to end my gear search, that's why I think the SE might be the right. Pretty darn expensive though! I have spent a lot of money through the years buying gear. Some times go back to the mentality of buying gear like climbing a ladder. Rather than buying the very top (best) on the list, I tend to buy slightly better stuff over time. That way I end up wasting money and in the end I buy the most expensive piece of gear which I should have bought from the very beginning. It would have been wonderful if I was rich. I'm trying to buy a house and the gear frenzy is still there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too deep and complex for me, but all the clips I`ve heard are awesome. DerekB really likes the SE. Were are you thinking of buying one? New or used?

Members DarkCide Posted February 19, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 19, 2007 Derek is a great dealer. But over $3K is way too much for me. They go for around $2500 on ebay. Still that's a lot. BTW, are houses expensive in your area in GA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
