Couldn't agree more!

More Mesa to the Eggieheads!

Wonder what it would sound like running one of the Mesa Recto Recording preamps into the power amp section of the MOD50? Those seem to go used for around $600 USD or so - not a lot more than a module. Never tried one, but just a thought - cheaper and easier to tote than a DR head

I've been thinking along the same lines. I've considered picking up a Mesa Studio Pre.

Here's an idea:

Get rid of the Mod 50 (Is it a combo or head/cab unit?)

Get something like the TM 212 cab if you need it.

Get the Mesa pre.

Get the Eggie poweramp when it comes out.

Might do the trick.

...Almost, but you forgot one thing...a loaded M4! M4+Mesa pre+power amp - that would actually be a rocking setup, although heavy as hell to tote!!

That's really good.

I've been tweaking quite a bit now. The Erect got a little closer to what I'm looking for with the bright switch in position 2 and the density at about 9 o'clock. I got a new Elmwood 2x12" cabinet today wich also sounds a bit more agressive than the old Marshall cabs I normally use. The SL2X started to sound really good now with the new cabinet as well!
Feels like I'm getting there now...
