So I am posting a new amp......again. So I've bought sold and traded many good amps recently
Mesa M6 Carbine
Acoustic 370
Aguilar TH500
Ampeg SVT
Acoustic 270
Ampeg V4B - Vintage
And that list has been since December, add to the list the Fender Bassman 135, and Hartke's LH500 and LH1000 last year.
So yeah, I've had a lot of amps. Of all the one's above, the SVT and the M6 really stood out. But I found the SVT maybe a bit too wooly/fuzzy, and the M6 was way too clean. Also, the shear weight and raw power of the SVT was too much for my needs. So while I really liked the SVT, I decided to find $600 with the floor switch. It took me some time to dial in some good sound, but now I really like it. I can use the FET channel to get a super clean hifi sound, the tube channel for something a bit more round, I have the high gain set to try and cop a fuzzy SVT sound, and the blend set more towards the FET channel with the high gain tube mixed in for just a little grind. So I don't find it's quite as good as either the SVT or the M6, the fact it's less money (used and way out of manufacturing) and the flexibility of changing the sound with a tap of the foot, it's really nice. Hopefully this one wil stick around longer.
