I just recently bought 2 2X12 mesa roadster cabs with V30's . And I have my axe Fx going into a mesa 20/20 stereo tube pwoer amp . It sounded very good , but when playing with a group , it sounds a tad bit harsh . Well I did a bit of research and kept hearing about everyone with the mesa 20/20 does a "mod" to make it sound a little warmer . So I finally decided to do this mod which consisted of removing a couple of capacitors off of the circuit board . Well I removed ,them and the sound for metal is definately a warmer type of sound , but it has taken away all the clearness and "chimeyness" of my cleans . I don't mind playing distortion sounds , I love it in fact . But I play mostly in church and want the warmer crunch sounds and the chimey clean sounds .
So I guess my question is what would be a good Pwr amp that people would recommend ? I don't need high wattage . Unless higher wattage is preferred for better sound .
I was stuck on the choice of the atomic amps or getting the V30's , and decided to go that way . I already had the mesa 20/20 and had used with a Rocktron prophesy ,and wasn't pleased with the sound . I had almost anitcipated that I would be getting a new pwr amp , and with this mod I did , it looks like I will be
