[EATyourGUITAR]

overall

1. orange AD30HTC
2. mesa mark IV

clean

1. fuchs lucky 7
2. gibson goldtone
3. mesa rectoverb

home practice

1. zvex nano

the fuchs is like the goldtone. someone said its actually a copy of the schematic. not sure. the recto has a really clean clean but gets bluesy at 10 and 10. the orange AD30 is the best 7,8 string amp out in my opinion. really doesn't miss anything in the low end. its not a AC30 clone. the mark IV is very versatile and just great in every way.

 

[demonkingjj]

Practice/Budget amp suggestion:

Peavey Vypyr 30. Amazing tone at low volumes.

3. Mesa Triple Rec w/Voodoo Mod
4. Soldano Avenger
5. Peavey 5150
6. ENGL SE

9. Krank Krankenstein +
10. Orange Rockerverb
11. Splawn Quickrod

11,532. Marshall JCM 800 KK
11,533. VHT Pittbull UL


But why am I responding to a thread that's 1000 years old? I don't know. It was at the front of the list when I clicked on Gear and Equipment.
