Hello everyone,
I'm having a bit of a problem. I want to buy a new head/half stack but I don't know which one to buy. I'm in the price range of $1,200 - $2,000. I have a few in mind but I've only played one of them. Here are my options:
Marshall Mode Four (played it)
Marshall TSL100
Mesa Dual Rectifier
Peavy JSX Joe Satriani
Randall Warhead 2
Here's where my problem comes in... I'm looking for an amp that has a great distortion sound but also has a great clean sound. I've played on a lot of heads that have a good distortion but the clean tone is really mid rangey and piercing. I've also played on amps that have a very beautiful clean tone but the distortion is more of an overdrive and is not very powerful (mostly Fender combos).
I like the Mode Four and all but I felt that it's distortion was too muddy and weak. I've heard noting but good things about the Mesa distortion but what about the clean tone? If you can help me in any way, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.
