I just did some reamping with a Dual and a Triple. One for the left side and one for the right. The Dual was a combo, yes, but I ran it into a Mesa cab with 30's. I found the triple to be a little tighter in the bass range but also it had a more 'scooped' sound. The dual had more mid bass and was looser I guess but I preferred it too. I can see how it would be better for leads cause of this. Maybe James liked that aspect. But you know they have changed those amps for different years. I want to get a dual and a triple, both new, and A/B them I'm really liking how that amp really cuts through the mix.
I also borrowed a Cobra for this project and I liked playing it myself more than the Mesa, but I liked the Mesa in the mix more.
