Ever have the situation where you have an amp you're happy with...you and the amp have your ups and downs..but you can't part with it because you love it?
Despite the love for the amp, you're eying other amps, thinking about what might be better or getting something just for a change..but you always come back to the amp you're "married" too? It "cooks, cleans, and takes care of all your needs" amp wise so you're content with what you've got at home.
Every single time I think about getting a new amp..the ol' DTX wins me over again. Everytime I want a new tone or something different, it finds a way to give me what I want. All the other amps I try sound good, but not so good that I want to spend the cash for it. So far the DTX has killed the gas for:
Mesas (Triple Recto, Mark series, and Stiletto to be exact)
6505
Randall RM100
VHT Pitbull
Ibanez Thermion
VHT Sig: X
Splawn Nitro
And it's proving itself amongst the current gas for:
Marshall DSL100
Peavey 3120
Both of those amps I'd still like, but I'm really thinking over whether or not they'll be worth it right now. I might end up with the DSL because I'll force myself to buy it regardless of my not wanting to spend the money..but if I didn't get anything else I'd be pretty happy.
I know Zim's that way with his VHT/Fryette...what about the rest of you?
