And still hook up the 1x12 to my 4x12 :crazy:
Those combos are huge unwieldy and heavy beasts of things!
Not really a problem if it's just going to sit on top of a cabinet and not be moved though.
Was more concerned about when he sold it a week later :lol: Sorry Nick!! :mrgreen:

I just sold my Engl Screamer, that was a killer amp. I'd imagine it would tick all of your high gain boxes Oldie.

5150/6505 would probably be the safe choice. Rectos can be quite finnicky for the styles you want to play. Engls are great for downtuned stuff but can be a bit "soulless" for 80's stuff depending on your taste.
Amps:
Soldano SLO100 x2 | Wizard MC1 & MC2 | Diezel Herbert
Fryette Pittbull CL | Marshall 2203KK | Krank Rev 50 | Mesa Mark 2A

Rack stuff:
VHT/Fryette GP3, GP/DI & 2/90/2 | Peters FSM/Chimera
Verellen Meatsmoke | Synergy SYN1 | Mesa Studio

Had a couple of mesa boogies now and not really set me alight only the mkv25 was the best choice
