Three Amps with some stuff in common?

Image
Yeah, yeah... It isn't a very clever title. I was looking through my "favourited" list and noticed three amps listed consecutively that had quite a bit in common: Multiple channels, 1x12, higher gain, all effectively at the same price point. There's a big of a theme here I think - Wouldn't it be great to have a great vintage style low watt amp AND a more modern, higher gain amp? Seems like a good enough reason... Mesa Recto-Verb 50 - $1000 I've mention this amp more than a few times, and that is usually a pretty good indication that I'm destined to pick one up eventually.  I'll have to sell a few things to be sure, but this is a quality amp with a sound I'm familiar with.  I don't quite recall the settings, but the high gain sound on this that isn't the "recto" flavour is pretty amazing. Engl Thunder 50 - $950 I remember first reading about these amps in an interview with Richie Blackmore in the early nineties....
