Clearly, the Germans are leading this race.... but not without a strong fight
from Randall Smith in his F1 Mesa Mark Road King.

I repaired a H&K amp for an old bandmate buddy. Talk about a pita. Over-engineered is a term I'd use. It did sound good though, so there is that.

Hook wizard in the shortlist?…complex on different dimensions then mesas for example..

 

[The-Kid]

Yeah the Diezel VHX has to be it. It has a full effects processor in it.

That shts cray......


Wow.

This forum is deadly to my bank balance. I just bought an ENGL Artist Edition 50 and now have GAS for this.

Once I get a couple of 4x12's...

I legitimately can’t tell if this is a joke or not.

EDIT: omg it’s real. Randall 667.

This is exactly what I thought @GuitarBilly74 might have done.

Marshall 6100 has a lot of shit going on inside.

The antithesis of what Budda started off as. Way too much going on.

Guytron GT100, GT100-X, and GT100 F/V, i.e. one tube preamp, two tube power amps in series.
The first poweramp is EL84 into a load resistor, which is then amplified by the big 100W EL34 poweramp so you can obtain poweramp saturation on any volume.

Yeah I was thinking of those when I made the post but could not remember the name. Novel idea for sure.

Road king was ment to be versatile but it only had one sound and a lot of switches.
I got rid of mine because it was just a recto and not really capable of anything else.
Weighed a ton and cost a ridiculous amount to replace the tubes.
Marshall JVM 410 should be in the list because that actually is versatile. 12 tones and all ones you would use.
