all kinds, mainly like alternative music with a good amount of gain. i've been looking at heads for a few months now.

Look around for a used mesa boogie single/dual rectifier
i guarantee 75% of the bands you listen to are using the dual live and in the studio

as well as a massive ammount of extra gear to make it sound good.

there are better amps for the price of the rectifiers

mesa boogie dual rectifiers are the most recorded and played amps ever by professionals.

is this also for a cab? or do you have one?

if no cab, and you want versatility with good gain the Carvin V3 will probably be your best bet without breaking the bank.

I own it and it has so many tones i cant decided what i want to keep on the channels. It has 2 identical gain channels and a clean channel. The two gain channels have 3 different gain modes and the clean channel has 3 different clean modes. Each channel also has a switch to expand the EQ range to make more drastic eq changes and each channel has independent eq as well as a master eq.

i've read about the v3, and i love the legacys. i think i'm either gonna get a legacy or a v3. i've been looking for something new so i don't have to worry about problems. i was bidding on eebay on like busted up jcm800s and 5150s, and although they're killer amps, i want it to be like new and nice and clean haha. i've only played the legacy for a little bit, but i really liked it. there's no way for me to test the v3, which kinda sucks. idk, i've half wanted a carvin for a while. they're really underated. mesas are nice, but i'm not daddy warbucks

legacys are good at what they do, but as far as i know they dont do heavy stuff well. They are a dream for leads though

That's actually very true.

"Mark uses two Mesa Boogie Mark IV amplifiers with 9 Mesa 4X12 cabinets"

Taken from a bit about guitarist Mark Morton from Lamb of God.

Only 2 of those 9 though, work. The other 7 are just for show

Yep..
willie uses a mark 4 also... but uses the framus cabs lately..

If you're going heavy lead sublime...i wouldn't bother with carvin or mesa rectifiers.

i play like john frusciante, omar rodriguez, satch, steve vai type leads and lots of blues licks. i'm not really a metal player, but i dabble with friends hah. alot of my riffs are high gain based with some shecka and djent lollllll, but im not trying to get a super metal amp. i also play lead in a punk-ish band. i'm just looking for a good amount of versatility and a reliable head that i'll feel comfortable with for a long time, as i'm pretty broke.

in short: decent-good cleans & and decent-good gain, reliable, 500-1000 $ range.

if there's something with real good cleans & real good gain that any of you guys know ofr that's in my price range or a little above, please do let me know. i want something that will last a long time and make me happy. i have a shitty cab right now, but i plan on selling my rig when i can and getting either a 2x12 avatar or 4x12 avatar with v30s depending on how much i get.
