I'm looking for a new amp, mostly for rise against type of music.
I have a Marshall JMP MkII 2203 -79 today, and one Mesa 4x12 OS + one 1960 with all scumbacks (2 x M75 and 2 x H75)
So I need another amp since my Jmp only has one sound. Any suggestions? Soldan SLO = too expensive.
I have aprox 1500usd/1200eur to spend.

Edit: Tried a new dual rectifier, didnt like the sound of it, sounded plastic, artificial to my ears
 
Blackstar Series one 104EL34. Four usable channels.:thumbsup:
 
Mesa Mark IV or older Dual Rectifier. Check out a Tremoverb.
 
mesa roadking 2: 4 channels, selectable power tubes and rectifiers +2 loops!


if you want just a great OD the tremoverb is a great option. there not to expensive either.
 
Engl Powerball or Savage 120 or the Peavy 6505+.
 
Ah how are those Engl and Peavey 6505 when recording? Are those
as fizzy as the dual rectifier? Or somewhere in between Marshall and Mesa in tone?
 
5150, mesa roadster, or a VHT Ultralead. All fantastic options and relatively inexpensive.
 
Got really interested in a 6505+, anyone got som experience to share?
 
Rivera K Tre, for something different. Very big sounding amp, and can go from a beautiful clean to all out metal with a boost. Depending on the tube compliment, it may not even need the boost, but mine sounds best with it. I grabbed mine for $1500 used and got the matching cab, which was almost-new, for $400.



Here's a quick clip of the Rivera. Sorry for the not-so-stellar mix, it was done really fast last year. This was a PRS Custom 22, Ibanez TS9, and the Rivera K412 with V30's in it, quad tracked rhythms, leads doubled. I don't remember much about when I tracked it, other than there were two SM57's on one speaker, one center-on-axis, the other off-axis at the dust cap/cone joint.

Thx Jordon, nice clip :) sounds awesome, been looking at that amp too but hard to get hold of up here in north :)

But I just got back from lunch and tried the 6505 through a Mesa OS 4x12, dang that was the sound I was looking for!
So I have decided for the 6505, would I benefit anything from going for the +-version? Really dont need a clean channel.
