Members Crxsh Posted August 23, 2010 Members Share Posted August 23, 2010 Me too. These amps always get thrown under the bus as being metalhead-only amps... and while they're certainly great for that, they've got pretty underrated cleans and more than passable low/medium-gain potential too. I had my tele going through it earlier and got a pretty damn nice drive tones out of the clean channel w/ the gain up a bit. And my 6L6's landed today... I think I'm really gonna enjoy having the option to switch back and forth between the El84's and 6L6's when I want a different vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dolf Posted August 23, 2010 Members Share Posted August 23, 2010 I think Rectumfriers sound much better for rock/hard rock than metal/brewtz. fwiw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crxsh Posted August 23, 2010 Members Share Posted August 23, 2010 Yeah, the Mark series is probably better for pure metal... but for most people that's just semantics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tronus Posted August 23, 2010 Members Share Posted August 23, 2010 I've always wanted to try a Mark series after hearing Trey Anastasion (Phish) and Jim Lewin (Great American Taxi - Vince Herman (Leftover Salmon's singer's band)) use one. Not very metal at all hah. Jim L. uses a Tele through his and Trey uses his hollowbody Lanquedoc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tronus Posted August 23, 2010 Members Share Posted August 23, 2010 I heard a guy using a subway something or other mesa the other night? They were a local band... kind of Rolling Stones'y... It sounded pretty dang good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crxsh Posted August 23, 2010 Members Share Posted August 23, 2010 Probably the Subway Rocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stevemcb Posted August 23, 2010 Members Share Posted August 23, 2010 Maybe the Subway Blues? 1x10 single channel with reverb? I like mine but its place has been taken but a Vox Night Train and I'll be selling it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amarr1 Posted August 23, 2010 Members Share Posted August 23, 2010 I really like the Lonestar, Stilleto, and the Electradyne, unfortunately no one really thinks or talks of those when the name Mesa-Boogie is mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CrystalLake Posted August 23, 2010 Members Share Posted August 23, 2010 Awesome rig shot Crxsh! I love the Single Recs and ElectraDynes. :thu" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crxsh Posted August 23, 2010 Members Share Posted August 23, 2010 Awesome rig shot Crxsh! I love the Single Recs and ElectraDynes. :thu" Thanks, buddy! The Single Rec is nice because 50 watts is pretty manageable. Before I bought this one, I thought I had an older 2-channel Dual Rec locked down for a great price.... but it didn't work out. So this was the 2nd choice, but I'm just as happy. I forgot how loud the 50 watters are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tronus Posted August 23, 2010 Members Share Posted August 23, 2010 Probably the Subway Rocket. F'n multiquote doesn't work... It was either the Rocket or the Blues, like stevemcb mentioned. I didn't get that good of a look. It was dark out and I didn't want to get all up in the bands stage area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I my Roadster's clean tones on the "Tweed" setting. It's really not far from Fender cleans, if not as great IMO. Plus it takes pedals very well. I just received some new 6L6s too(SED Winged "C") and some new preamp tubes to replace the stock ones. Those are supposed to really improve the amp's tones, can't wait to hear this!

I was fortunate enough to get the guy who sold me this one to include both a set of JJ's EL34's and some TAD 6L6's, so that's really cool. So far, my initial impression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very metal at all hah. Jim L. uses a Tele through his and Trey uses his hollowbody Lanquedoc. Mark amps are seriously under rated. They can do all out metal, but are also pretty sweet for country/blues/jazz stuff. My old guitar teacher had a Mark I reissue, good lord, the tone. He's also one of the best players I've ever seen though, he can make anything sound good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
