IF I was going to get ONE more amp, what should it be...

[JerEvil]

I have a KSR Gemini coming in in a few moths (being built by Kyle now) and a new BE-100 arriving Friday and still have my Bottle Rocket.

What's a good VERY different flavor in contrast to these guys? Recto of some sort maybe? Definitely covered for the modded Marshall type stuff. Hughes and Kettner maybe? Mark Series? I want NO overlap! LOL!

Mark series. Definitely. The Gemini covers the Recto area nicely.

JP2C.

Ok so I have heard the Gemini is kind of like Recto meets Uber... would you say that's accurate?

Pretty much. More Mesa Recto meets Soldano SLO to me. Maybe a bit Uber, but not as mellow. I mainly use the Purple and Red modes on Lead 2 of the Gemini.

I think of it more as Ultralead meets Uberschall....it can range from the UL side of things to the Uber side of things and anywhere in between pretty easily. I can speak from experience, lol...

The JP-2c is on my short list. I'd be happy to sell you an Uberschall BTW

Mesa Mark series. IIIs and IVs can be had well under a grand, 2C+ are alot more but are way more rare and have a special feel to them. Never tried a JP2C but have heard they are also awesome. And I'm a rodded Marshall guy too but I loves me some Mesa Mark amps.

LOL! yeah the JP is on my list as well, especially if it is quite dissimilar to the Gemini. And I LOVE the UltraLead so that's a bonus.

I think if I bought a Mark it'd have to be a new one or at least one still under warranty. Hell, I loved the Mark V:35 I played a few weeks ago.

Orange would give you something unique, it has its own flavor that I really dig.
I guess the newest Rockerverb 100?

 

[errrrrl]

Does that mean you got rid of your Dirty Shirley? Kind of in the same boat as you but opt'd for the poor mans route. Pre-ordered the PRS MT-15 to cover my lack of Recto-Uberness. Hope it works well for direct recordings.

Huh... haven't thought about Orange in ages.

I did and got a KILLER price for it. Guy didn't even haggle! First thought, "he doesn't forum..."

I say something Mesa Boogie. The Mark series are awesome but I am liking the sound of the new TC-100. These are some of the better demos I've heard of the Triple Crown series:

 

[maddnotez]

Get that Bray Plexi

 

[Browns Fan]

How about a nice vintage? Maybe a tweed?

- IIC+
- Naylor SuperDrive 60
- Cornford MK50
- Redplate Magica
- Morris Perplex'd

As cool as the JP is, you'd be out 2500 for a new one. For that money plus another 500 you can get the real deal, and there's a good chance its been to Mesa and Mike B recently enough that you wouldn't need to worry. If you liked the Mk V 35 you'll be floored with a real C+ IMO.

SLO. Everyone needs a SLO.

If you want to go way different than I’d look into a Matchless.

JP-2C :thumbsup,

Maybe something Diezel? Vh2?

 

[psychodave]

Get a Mesa Mark III. They can be found for around $800.
