Members JackBootedThug Posted May 11, 2006 Members Share Posted May 11, 2006 It's funny how Euro folks like american amps, and we love Euro amps. How bad would shipping be on for example-a MarkIV to Ireland? j/c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LaXu Posted May 12, 2006 Members Share Posted May 12, 2006 Yeah, get a used Mesa if that's what you want. Check the German and UK eBay, they sometimes pop for decent prices. New they are just absurdly expensive, most over 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dann'sTheMan Posted May 12, 2006 Members Share Posted May 12, 2006 Check out the Prog Metal work by Tommi Inkila and Scenery Channel (and listen out for the Petrucci influences!). Tommi uses an F-50 head into a Hughes & Kettner 4x12 cab. The F-50 is ridiculously loud, do not be concerned that it is underpowered - most owners have to consider ways of getting the volume under control. Check out Tommi's music in his latest thread: http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1241339www.thomann.de do the F-50 head for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cobrahead1030 Posted May 13, 2006 Members Share Posted May 13, 2006 Originally posted by Random Hero Depends what era you're talking about really... when i think of petrucci's trademark tone, mark comes to my mind way before recto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t-rock97 Posted May 13, 2006 Members Share Posted May 13, 2006 Mesa Mark III would be ideal for your price range, but Peavey 6505 (5150) would be your best shot. I think a lot of people think the Recto will give you this magical tone, but it has a voice, a raw midrangey growl, that is almost too prominent for most styles of music. The Mark III is more versatile and doesn't have that Recto voice. The Peavey gives you all the gain, sustain and low end that the Mesa does and for much less money. But if you can afford it, Mesa Mark III or IV would be perfect in my opinion.T.R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
