Help with my Mesa Studio Preamp Setup


Currently, I have a Mesa Boogie Studio Preamp going into a Carvin MTS3212. I have an RG2570 and a G major. I play mainly metal, such as Dream Theater and Symphony X.

I want to run the Boogie through a 4x12. I want to also run the Boogie in stereo. So to do that, I'll need a stereo power amp, as well as a single 4x12 cab right? I'm not experienced with power amps and speaker cabs, so what do you guys recommend for bone crushing metal? The sky's the limit in terms of budget, as I love the sound the Mesa provides and I want to make it as badass as possible. All help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Help with my Mesa Studio Preamp Setup


honestly, the dream setup would be

(any preamp that you like)
into a decimator ch1
into a compressor, limiter
into your effects
into your decimator ch2
into a power amp

technicaly theres alot of rack units you can use in between
but if its about bone crushing metal id say

a peavey classic rack amp 120/120
into two cabs each loaded with 12 ev12ml
or if you cant stand that loudness go with a peavey rack amp 60/60 and use two cabs loaded with vintage 30's

thats what i love, those peavey rack amps back in the day are the equivelant to the engl power amps now adays, and if you want bone crushing metal, the peavey will swamp your cavin poweramp, and the engl will swamp the peavey

what are you interested in specificaly i love high gain and ive tried alot of that stuff out
