Okay,
So it's come down to about.. 5 amps...I can't choose which one would best suit me so I'm hoping for some comments and direction from you guys..
Mesa Boogie DC-5, Marshall JCM900 SL-X, and the Mesa Boogie .50 Caliber Plus,
Mesa Boogie Mark III, and Marshall DSL50 ....
I really play:
Dream Theater, LTE,
Yngwie Malmsteen, Vai, Petrucci, Satch, Rusty Cooley, Paul Gilbert.. just a lot of shred in general...
Incubus, Holdsworth, Frank Gambale, Rage Against Machine(about the heaviest I'd want to get)
Would the Marshall JCM900 SL-X be to .. ah.. Classic rock? or could it get me the great shred lines.. touch some fusoin and maybe close to.. Iced Earth?
I know the Marshall DSL isn't going to get me to Iced Earth but it'll sure do Incubus to Rage Against Machine and get me my leads... so.. no need for comment on this amp..
How would the Mesa's deal? I haven't been fortunete enough to touch a Mesa but I've heard great reviews about these.. and I'd get a nice one from
http://www.ebay.com
I have a P.A available for my of my GIG's but I play venue's from 1000-2500 pple usually gym or auditorium....I figured I can't have any less than 35watts of tube or else I wont be able to cut the stage noise without (monitors)
I'd like to get from Jazz to great Leads!!.. The leads is the most important!!
