Holy cow! I'm pretty tame by these standards. I've never owned a 4x12, and haven't played out in forever, so I don't know that I'll be needing one any time soon.

Musicman 210/65 combo (gone)
Marshall JCM800 4210 50w 1x12 combo (gone)
Carvin Quad-X pre/Tube 100 power amp w/2x Rocktron Velocity 1x12s (still have)
Peavey Classic Chorus 2x12 (gone)
Randall PT1000 50w 1x12 combo (gone)
Laney VC50 (still have)
Holland Custom Lead 50w head with 2x12 cab (still have)
Mesa Heartbreaker head w/ Mesa 3/4-back 2x12 (still have)
Fender Prosonic combo (still have)
THD Flexi 50 head (still have)

Somewhere along the way acquired a Scholz R&D Sustainer Rockmodule, an Alesis Quadraverb GT, and a Rocktron Velocity 120 s/s power amp....oh, and my well-used Johnson J-Station remains.


There are two that I wouldn't part with - the Laney VC50 and the THD Flexi.

How do you like the Heartbreaker?
Click to expand...

I like it, but it is a dark amp. It sounds better with the Holland 2x12 that has G12H30s in it than it does the Mesa 3/4 back 2x12. The Flexi sounds GREAT with that darker Mesa cab. The only thing with the Heartbreaker that I'd change is I wish it had a switchable graphic EQ, or at least individual loops per channel so I could jam an EQ in the loop of just the "Love" channel (the channels are named "Love" and "Lust", one Boogie Mk1-centric and the other supposedly Marshall-centric....bizarre). Oddly, the supposedly Marshall channel has the better cleans of the two, and they sound REALLY good.

While I like it pretty well, I really liked the second version of the Stiletto better. I don't have a whole lot of experience with the Mesa family, but with the Stiletto it was a lot easier to dial sounds closer to what I hear in my head than the Heartbreaker. I think my ideal tones might come more from Marshall-land than Mesa-land.
