Oh REALLY????
hmmm, although some amps suit some styles better you must play pretty bizarre licks to not be able to play 'm on both amps. tell me more.

I don't have any experience with a Boogie, but I KNOW I couldn't get very good footing on my Marshall.

Whats up!
I play with a very processed sound. Its almost violin like but with a lot of distortion(musical distortion not thrashy!!) With this particular sound, I am able to play long sustained notes with a lot of vibrato plus you can pick fast and hear every note. It also sounds amazing for rhythm.
I've always had this particular sound in my head but I didnt know how to get it(until now!)
I started out playing marshalls. Then I switched to Modified Marshalls and then I found what I was looking for in the Mesa amps.
The problem I had with my Marshalls at the time was they were very bright sounding and they didnt sustain the way I wanted them to.(they would cut out in the middle of a note!) When I learned how to tame my Marshalls, they still sounded shrill to my ears so I switched and never went back!

yeah i know what you mean... boogies are , to me, better i the high gain range when used for the more bizarre settings.
but that's more taste like...
what's footing anyway? i owned several of both brands. currently have a marshall dsl. didn't want the hassle of mesa , you know i think they make the best amps but finding a truly good sound is a f*ckin PITA! while marshalls are really plug and play... not much tweeking needed/desired.
still gonna buy a boogie again... just to tweek ya know?

Footing is foot position. This head is a little narrow for those lean back, strings off the neck bends. I have to stay on the floor.

Sorry, bad pun referring to Ted Nugent or Angus or any lead guitarist who stands atop their stacks while rippin' off a good lead.
guhlenn
Oh REALLY????
ha! thought something like that but then i thought ... nah he couldn't mean that... well you did
anyway have you ever actually done that? that would be pretty cool... but then again, how are you gonna climb on top? that wouldn't give a cool moment i guess, more goofy...

No, never did it. My basement ceiling is too low and my 1/2 stack has casters AND the floor is concrete. A dreamdate for OSHA and could make for a real headache. I am constantly tempted though.
I did once throw a chair at the wall when I and some friends were jammin' to a strobe. It was a hit with my friends, but mom didn't appreciate the holes in the wall. The flash rate was PERFECT! I'm sure she didn't mind me movin' out.
Anyway, yeah just goofy.

Line 6 ax2
Ive got a line 6ax2 and could/would never go back to conventional amp. It would cost me $30,000 to get all the amps and sounds which it emulates. You can hook it up to your pc via midi and download patches OR edit and modify existing sound in real time!!! Ive had a bunch of amps fenders, peaveys vox crates,
marshall and they are all WAAAAYY behind this technology. Besides that you can pick one up for about $500. Isuggest you go try the newest overpriced models and then get yourself an AX2 at a great discount. Ps dont be a fool by changing banks on the fly without lowering the volume and it should last a long time. But if you go from a soft clean bank at a good volume and jump to something dirty and overdriven you may create one earsplitting speaker/output transistor blowin feedback loop!!! know what banks are and lower the volume BEFORE you change them. There seem to be a bunch of people who have knocked this amp on dependability when the real problem is that they are light on common sense

TriAxis pre, 2:90 power.
Already have the TriAxis and it's perfect through my Lee Jackson power amp. I can't fathom a better tone. Theoretically, the 2:90 will make it even better.
It's veratility rocks. Sparkling crystal clean to meaty warm clean. Searing 80's shred to ballsy nu-metal rhytm. Crunch beginning to break up to smooth singing harmonic dirt. Ahhhhhhh.

IF it has to be a new one, I'd choose the Dumble Steel String Singer.

Favorite Chord: C 6/9
Rivera Quianna
That would be my choice. I recently purchased this amp after a long process of evaluating lots of different amps. There are so many great amps out there, and so many crappy ones too. I found two of the Riveras to be among my top choices: The Quiana and the Fandango. They really had a depth to them that I didn't notice in many other amps. They also have more tonal options than most amps, absolutely silent channel switching, and bar-NONE the best sounding spring reverb on the planet.
Gotta agree with that! My tone has far more to do with how well I'm able to play on any given day than my guitar's set-up or any number of other factors.

Mesa Boogie Mark IV, the Giant Killer, would do the trick, especially going in direct.
