Hi everyone.
I thought I'd just throw something on here for your comments/ideas.
I have been looking for a new amp for a little while now. I currently have a Fender Prosonic that I love but because it only has 1 eq, both channels have to share, I am not able to do things that I would like to.
So far I tried pretty much everything Mesa Boogie has to offer and none of them have really captured me.
I also tried pretty much everything Marshall has to offer. I will say that I actually hate the JCM-800 tone. However I did like the DSL a lot but it too only has 1 eq. The TSL wasn't as good as the DSL was.
I also tried Engal and Laney.
I believe that if the DSL has separate EQ's I think I would have walked away with it.
However. When I went to test the DSL it was plugged into a Mesa Rectifier Cab. When I tried the TSL it was in a Marshall 1960 cab. The TSL in that cab sounded pretty terrible. Then I had an idea and asked the guy to plug it into the mesa cab. Let me tell you that we are talking chalk and cheese. The Marshall cab was flubbery while the Mesa cab was tight and direct. Also more bottom endy. I still didn't really like the TSL even in the Mesa cab but I had no idea that a different brand of cab could make that much difference. There is no doubt that my next cab will be a Mesa.
Has anyone else noticed a big difference between cabs with their amps??
Also what other amps can I try that have separate eq's for each channel. Now I will state that here in Australia we are limited to the most popular brands. I would like to try the Peavey XXX and JSX but so far the rep hasn't turned up to my city yet. Maybe in 6 months or so.
Thanks Guys.
Sanchez.
