i sort of feel like mesa's are great amps, you cant go wrong with them, and they are timeless. i see a lot fo guitar players with mesa's however the fact that so many people play them is the only reason i havent bought one yet. im look for a more modern sound anyway. has anyone played the Hughes & Kettner Triamp?

How would you compare the Single Rec to the dual? That's what I'm looking at.

yea i have a peavey xxx, and im thinkin about selling it and getting a single or dual rect im lookin for an amp that has a wide range in distortion. the xxx, is pretty much only suited for heavy distortion, u can turn the gain down as much as u want and it will still be distorted as hell. the triple x also has a very loose and messy sound dosent mesh to well with other instruments for metal im sure its a great amp, but i dont play metal so...

So, quick question to the Mesa people here. Have you noticed that the sound changes dramatically depending on how long the thing has been on? I actually got intot he habit of letting it warm up for an hour before band practice. Even then, I find that I keep having to make subtle adjustments through the evening to keep the tone consistent. Comments? ($900 used for a Dual Rec, btw)
