Which amp should I get? H&K, Mesa, Engl? Opinions wanted!
<t>That's great Ben! Jon here (ex Line 6) - I have a 101b and the oversized Bogner 2x12 - that is a great rig. I've been using the 101b live for over a year now, I can't imagine ever wanting another 'rock' amp. My rig is guitar>Bad Horsie Wah>Tuner>Bogner (with G-Major in ...

Have you checked out some Ecstasy clips at the Bogner site - here's a cool one - it's a good example of it's dark, Marshall-y character - http://www.bogneramplification.com/customshop/Angus101B.mp3J

<t>The Ecstasy has a Twin-inspired clean channel - it get's a some flak from some - but it's pretty much on the money, with the excursion and pre-amp mode choices you can get all kinds of tones. You've also got the legendary Blue channel - which is just beautifully detailed dark ...

Which amp should I get? H&K, Mesa, Engl? Opinions wanted!
<t>Ok, from what you're saying, I think you're looking for a more open, boutique, 3d sound. You're right, the Engls et al, are more hi-fi - flatter sounding - great for metal, but lack the sag and character in low to mid gain tones. The Engl Morse is very versatilem but yes, a little ...

<t>I tried both models of the Stiletto, for me, they lacked the musicality and soul I was looking for, but to answer your question, the Stage II voicings are definitely more pleasing, not as bright and harsh. Rectifiers have a very characteristic sound - personally, I need more mids now than they ...

<t>I like the idea of a Cornford Roadhouse for blues and fusion, then a Powerball for your modern rock/prog sounds, or a Blackmore if you need less options. The Stiletto just didn't float my boat - couldn't really put my finger on it - but it was the least musical of the amps on your list ...

<t>Yup, the Ecstasy and Invader aren't cheap - but worth every penny! Also - they'll do what you think you need two amps for! Other option could be a Boogie Roadster - that's a four channel multi-mode monster too and will definitely cover the tones you need - second-hand ones go for ...

<t>Oh - VHT (now Fryette) are great too. I've played the Sig X and it blew me away - lots of tones again - but hard as * when you crank it.It's a great choice if you need to switch between clean, crunch and lead at a gig - as is the Invader, as is the Bogner... oh god, now I want a new ...

<t>World Guitars near Stroud has a lot of Boogies (and Vigiers!) - it's a bit of a trek for me but a great store to visit. Elsewhere, PMT Birmingham had Engl's and Mesa's in stock (and lots of them) last time I was in there.From your description of tones (Brown sound + dark low mids ...

<t>LOL! I kow how you feel - when I think about buying gear I lose sleep too!Anyway - here's what I found - I find both the Mesa Rectifier and Stiletto quite brittle sounding - no doubt they are great amps, but they didn't have enough mids for me - I prefer a sound with more low mids ...

<t>Here's my 2 cents - I've owned Engl Screamer, Engl Powerball, Mesa Stiletto, Mesa Triple Rectifier, Budda Superdrive and currently using a Bogner Ecstasy.I have to say that for flexibility and some great tones, the Engl Screamer (the cheapest option here) is a great amp, especially if ...
