My taste in amps is shifting

I forgot to mention that I'm getting a Mesa Halfback vertical 2x12 with C90s to use with my amps. I didn't think I'd need another cab, but someone here posted about liking his, and I decided to look into it. Turns out to be a good idea.

My dealer is checking with Mesa to see if I can get one with the wicker, tolex and tan trim to match my Mark VII. If not, however, I'll still probably order one. The Force is strong with that cab. :love
 
It wasn’t til Fractal that I really got into Vox type amps. The Morgan AC-20 and Komet amps are friggin beautiful for EOB. :chef
The Fractal Morgan AC-20 Deluxe model sounded very close to the Victory VC35 I had. So if anyone on the European side of the pond is looking for that kind of amp, get the Victory! And pair it with Alnico Golds!

I've never played a real Komet, but the Fractal model seems like it works so much better with single coils. It's too tubby with humbuckers for my tastes, to the point it seems like a "blues leads only" amp. I saw Mark Knopfler playing his on the Sailing To Philadelphia tour, it sounded beautiful...but that's probably the player!
