    yeah they are double that here….crazy money…

    a duel rectifier head is £1664 that’s nearly $2500 at the moment. :freak:

    you can get a JCM900 Vintage Reissue dual reverb head for under £700

    The thing about marshalls is they aren’t clean like fender amps, that always put me off. They look cool and intimidating though. I like mesa stacks, they sound sick and are probably the only amp distortion I really like.

    That’s why if you live over there and you want clean sounds you pick up a Vox. Grrrrrrrrrr!

    as I said in the UK hardly anyone plays Fender amps….it’s all Marshall, Vox, Laney, Orange, Hiwatt etc…..plenty of EHX users though!! ;)

    You forgot the most important one mate : MATAMP

    Sir Jack: that Hot Tubes in your avatar was designed while using a JCM900 via 4×12…
    (clean channel, though…)

    1959HW handwired plexi 100 head will set you back just over £1000…about £600 cheaper than a mesa duel rec head.

    Yep and considering my twin reverb cost me AU$2,300 but retails for AU$3,100 I think I’ll stick with fenders. I’d love a mesa but I could never afford one on my income.

    yeah, unfortunatly for most people it’s what everything boils down to…it has it’s advantages though, the reason I started using EHX effects is because they were in my price range that I’m willing/able to pay, I have a lot of respect for them keeping the prices at reasonable levels so everyone can afford them.

    Guys, what do you think about this twin amp set-up !

    Guitar –>EHX –>Fender Hot Rod in (((stereo))) w Marshall VintageModern 2×12 combo.

    For a Sludy-Stoner Doom tone.

    Think Fu Manch mixed with Acid King & Electric Wizard.

    . . . or would a Marshall DSL401 combo be a better suited Marshall ?
