When I was 18 or 19 I was talked into buying a Blackstar HT Stage 60 combo with 2x12 speakers at Sam Ash. Needless to say, it's a little bit much for what I need in the studio and despite trying everything I can think of, I've never been able to get a crunchy or distorted sound that I'm satisfied with. So my birthday is coming up, as is my tax return, so I'm considering selling the Blackstar and buying myself a new amp. I'd love some suggestions.
Here are the amps I'm looking at:
-Fender Princeton Reverb '68 custom
-Fender ’65 Princeton Reverb
-Vox Custom AC15C1
-Possibly a used Mesa Boogie 22 Studio?
-I'm also considering an Eleven Rack (I've heard mixed reviews, if anyone has experience with these please share!)
I play alternative rock mostly, stuff like Sliversun Pickups, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, etc. I use a Fender Strat usually, but sometimes I use my Les Paul Studio if I'm double tracking or doing two guitars on the same song.
Thanks in advance, I appreciate your help!
