I have an old school Mesa D180. I mainly use it for bass but it has a guitar channel too. I am kind of wanting to explore its potential for guitar more. This thing is super powerful.. 6x6L6. The way it operates is you run the Master at 10. Talk about headroom. It has a unique voice... very clean and strong, maybe too clean to be a good pedal amp... dunno.
Any ideas what might be good to throw in front in terms of distortion etc? I've always preferred to have a good amp for distortion (my thinking is how is some $50 pedal going to sound as good as say... a Recto). I am not sure where to start. I want to start small with some simple experiments. What do you guys recommend?
