Hi all this is my first post here. This is a pretty cool forum, lots of metal guitarists!! Like a lot of you I have been going through tons of amps to get my "holy grail" tone. I have literally owned every Boogie amp made, and I tend to favor the Mark IV. I just got a 5150, I like it but I am not sure how much. While it does have a hell of a lot of gain, I like the way the Boogies articulate tones better, so I guess the 5150 is going on eBay.
I have a Vetta on the way, but soon after I ordered it I started getting "modeling amp paranoia". For my instrumental group I use a Flextone II XL, it is OK for the Satriani type tones and stuff. But for my metal band I feel Im gonna have to stick with tubes, most likely Boogie. I.m gonna give the Vetta it's fair try (this will be the 2nd Vetta I have owned, the first was the combo) but if it doesnt deliver then I guess it's back to the old faithful Mark IV for me.
Well, no real point to this post other than to say hey. Anyhow we are auditioning singers and will soon be recording and I will post samples of my work soon after that.
