Members Highgrade Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 I am not a Boogie fan. Had a new F-50. Didn't like it. Returned it to music store and replaced with a Peavey head. I am happy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rydia is hot Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 i've heard some awesome recto tones. they were good enough to almost negate the horrible recto tones i've heard, haha.i've owned a few rectos:triple 2 channelrackmount dualtremoverb combodual 2 channel everytime i get one, the first day is tweaking, and then it's "dang, these are cool amps." give it a few weeks, and start to remember why i sold them. i've hated the f-series amps everytime i've played them, and the marks series are awesome, but too many options to tweak for me. they do sound really great though. my gripe with mesas in general is that they feel kind of cold (the heartbreaker is an awesome amp, though!)

Members godofmetalguita Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 i used to think they were overpriced crap, but when i got one, i realized its worth every penny. It really does sound 3 times better than any amp 1/3 its price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tlbonehead Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 Lots of great amps,past and current. I currently have been using a Nomad 45 head for the past 4 1/2 years. Best $699 I've ever spent on an amp. Other ones that I really like....

Members danbronson Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 I own an F-50 and hope to eventually own a Roadking. It took me a long time to be able to get ANY mesa to sound good. There's something different about them from the typically Marshall plug-and-play tone. You have to play the amp, and it can take a bit of learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members colormebloodred Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 i love them! i currently have a single rectifier, which i've had for 3 years now, but i'm gassing hard for a stilletto and a mark iv too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mtnb1kr Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 Love mine but like others have said these are tweaking amps. I love the tone but still fiddle with the knobs thinking almost but not quite. Gave $785 shipped from a fellow formite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget how much I bought this last one for. I'm thinking I paid right at $1300 for it, but the guy, who was the original owner, only had it for like 3 or 4 months. It's a Medium Head.

Nah, I'm just kidding around with you man. We're all pretty much gear sluts around here. I'm not even anywhere near where I want to be as far as gear is concerned and I've had a lot of {censored} too. It's sad and sick at the same time.

Dale I was just glad to find out you can still get the Mark IV heads new from Boogie cause so many said you can't, but the Rep. was in about 2 weeks ago and said you can order it just tell them you want the head and it would be a pretty short wait also I have other gear I want, but all I really need is some more guitars and a new neck on my Parker. All I pretty much use anymore is the POD into the computer for just messing around and figuring out other songs, and Madison for all my live aplications. I haver't done it yet but I'm anxious to hear how the POD-Mesa 2:90 BBE into the Madison cab sounds cause even the 2x12 is stereo so it makes a nice portable stereo rig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
