Hei there. I am still searching for the right amp. I have listened to dozens of soundclips and read a lot of comments. Now i definitely narrowed my choice to either the
Mesa Boogie Roadster or the Cornford MK50MKII. I think both are fantastic amps and if i had the money i would get them both because they complement each other perfectley. The Cornford has a brighter, brownish, marshalesque sound while the Mesa sounds more low end and maybe a little thinner and fuzzier. The good thing with the Cornford is that if you play sloppy you will here it but it rewards you for playing accurately. I think thats maybe a very important thing. Playing Malmsteen on a fuzzy amp doesn`t sound that good to be honest. Regarding Vai, Satch, SRV, Timmons, i think both amps are equally suited. I am again thankful for everyones comments who has some experience with either of these amps. By the way: I asked three employees at several musicstores and each and everyone said about the same: Get the Cornford its awesome!
