dewayne Posted January 10 Posted January 10 May start looking for a combo amp in near future. Don't care about clean tone, I have an amp for that. Prefer non tube. I know marshall has solid state but can it distort like a half stack. Does mesa boogie make a non tube combo? I realize I can go to a store in person or internet and find out but I may hear a recommendation from someone here about other options. I play slide and usually go for a Georgia Satellites meets Dave Mustaine tone, usually epi explorer. Just want that tone. Quote
ezbass Posted January 10 Posted January 10 When I think of rock guitarists who use/used solid state, I always think of Dimebag Darrell. He used Randall (among others) and they do a 75w combo, the KH75 (Kirk Hammett signature). Although probably not the sound you’re going for, but achievable with cranked gain and a pedal or two, the Fender Tone Master range gets a lot of love. Apparently, Mesa used to do a SS amp, but now discontinued. Quote
dewayne Posted January 10 Author Posted January 10 Bummer. My Roland ga212 gets great sounds but I have to use something to make it distort. Moore 150 I think is the model but I've will sometimes use evh od pedal or joyo extreme metal in its place. I once played through someone's marshall jubilee half stack for about 6 months while guy was trying to sell it. Drum er's space so I was told to use it so I wouldn't have to lug my amp back and forth. It was solid state and I just plugged in explorer twisted some dials and the sound was gorgeous, sort of Kentucky headhunters'ish. Love amp to guitar with nothing between. Probably should have bought it. Just bigger than I needed. Anyhow, thanks for response Quote
