both of them have more than enough gain, if you are driving at that
if he'd live in the USA I would agree with you, but mesa is fucking expensive in europe. it's like the othee way around with engl's in your stores.
I dunno, I always thought the Triaxis would be cool, but I've actually never really heard any good clips of it (don't anyone dare mention "Recreation Day," I hate that tone, especially compared to the awesomeness of "In Search..."), and Mike/006 posted a little while back that he and the owner of the studio he used to work at tried for ages to get a good tone out of one (including inviting over a bunch of Triaxis vets to tweak it) and nothing impressed them. Seems like it'd be better for a live environment because of all the switchability...
I have reviewed the specs of my ENGL screamer combo and the E530 and I started to think that the E530 is not giving me anything new over the screamer. Nowdays I´m using the loop send of the screamer to line input of my interface and I thought (correct me if I´m wrong) that the E530 would give me better and mor gained sound at the studio but not really sure now. ...maybe I´ll go for the JMP for new tone or for a solid state good stompbox for Rammstein tone, somenthing like that http://cgi.ebay.es/AMT-Electronics-DU-HAST-Distortion-Pedal-Brand-NEW_W0QQitemZ200261373580QQihZ010QQcategoryZ41416QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

ss stomp box? for recording? better get a sansamp and dial in a rammstein sound there! if you are into the rammstein sound, I don't think a jmp would do you good. the use/used recirifiers imho. or maybe you should consider a peavey rockmaster if you want to get a preamp and widen you're amp compendium
Thats what I like to do... get new options on tone. I´ll take a look at that peavy right now.
I like thet pre but I have to put an eye on ebay becouse is discontinued, I have found that but It has not great reviews.

FUERTEVENTURA RULES dude, is usually to find good weather all the year but you have not 100% guaranteed the SUN on december. Where are you going?? South, north...If you decide to come I highly recommend you to go to "cofete" take a look http://www.panoramio.com/photo/87047 is like being in the end of the world, is hard to get because the road is very bad but it's worth the effort, I have been there this July and I´ll come back for sure.
Just a secret: go to Las Playitas (is a little fishermen town) to any rest near the port and do your self a big big favor, eat a any fish dish, maybe: vieja, sama roquera, cabrillas... with alittle red mojo... you´ll be happy I asure you.
Sorry for the offtopic but I love my islands

Dude if you want the Rammstein sound then the SansAmp is the way to go. I even think that atleast one of the guitarists used/uses it, and it's a big part of the sound in their earlier albums.

The Unavoidable: yes, I saw an interview with their guitarist and he said that they use PSA1 "for attack" together with Mesa (Dual?) Rectifier for "meat" ("really slow amp")
I think that youre right but I have read tht is hard to record with impulses and I have no ther way to do it.
Thanks.

that depends on where you live, over here the triaxis can be had for a decent price...in europe they're ridiculously expensive tho and not nearly worth the dough
that being said i can't believe the e530 is going for $600 new now, i remember when they were $480 a few years ago...hell it wasn't that long ago i'd bought one on e bay for $350 shipped
And you didn't like it much if I remember right, Mike? It's gotten pretty popular around these parts recently, and I must admit I've really liked a lot of the clips I've heard (though also have thought many were too nasally/grainy, so it seems a difficult beast to dial in)

yeah nasally and grainy are exactly how i would describe it, i was running it thru the power section of my mark III and the results i got were ok i just wasn't really crazy about the thing...i honestly preferred the peavey rockmaster i tried over the e530
of the preamps listed by the OP tho, i'd probably get the jmp1 but i can't say how it holds up for recording direct
