New Old School Gear Day

[mudf00t]

I traded a Mesa Boogie Rectoverb combo with road case for some old school gear today. Actually pretty happy with the trade.

ADA MP-2
Alesis Quadraverb 2
ADA Microcab
Peavey Classic 50/50 amp
Midibuddy controller
8 Space Rack

I'd be happy with it too.

I think I had all the ADA stuff including the EQ-1 at one time. Had an Alesis verb unit also.

Never tried an MP2 - that setup would give you more options than the 2 channels from the Mesa (though I had one of those and got lots of compliments on my sound!)

The Rectoverb is a great amp and pretty versatile but I have a bunch of other amps and when I saw this guy was looking to trade in this old stuff, I got a little nostalgic for the old days when I had a very similar setup (hair metal days). I used to have an MP-1, an ART effects processor (I think it was an ART SGX 2000) and a Mesa 50/50. I used to love that thing. Got rid of it when I joined a punk/hardcore band in 1995.

I think you got ripped. MP-2 sucks, the power amp is the best part of it all.

That was like the whole 80:s guitar thing going out the door...

But I still think that guitar racks are sexy
