If you're a Mesa guy you know what this is. Rev E was the shortest/smallest production run, so that alone makes it rare - add a chrome chassis and it's rarer still. Sounds great, profiled with my Kemper and I already have a Rev F chrome chassis rack mount.

I've played this amp (Darrell let me borrow it to profile) and it's a killer. Insanely versatile, if I didn't have 30+ amps I'd be crazy tempted. I still am. Someone buy this before I try to make a local deal.

If you own amps you really dig, I'd say get a kemper and profile those amps, even if you need to go to a studio to have it done right. Then you'll have the sound of your amps. I have several vintage Marshalls, each sounds like a marshall but they have differences. If you're ok with an amp...
Mine isn't noisy. Try these settings if you are where you can crank an amp: Hot input, Channel 1, put the master at about 8 (or 3 o'clock), variac on, punch and bottom off. Sounds like the best non master volume marshall ever to my ears. :D

Had a Cameron, couple of Friedmans, Voodoo, Splawn modded marshall, (and one of his production amps), played a friend's Jon Wilder modded Marshall, right now my favorite 'modded marshall' is a Bogner Helios 50.
Thanks. No pedals, evh bumblebee clone with 80s super distortion pickup, stock 1972 Marshall cab. Miked it with a md421 and heil pr30. Was making kemper profiles and kept the mic settings for the clip :)
Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words. Regarding different PAs - I've played in three different bands since I had the Kemper. Each with a different PA setup. Kemper sounded great through all of them to me. Better FOH than my tube amps for sure. I used 'the good stuff' as far as tube amps -...
Dangit, I can't find my T-shirt I designed for Sixstring's World Tour. It was all about him traveling to different members homes to kick their ass - Bob Savage and Gainfreak I think were two stops on the World Tour.
Used a Kemper for nearly 3 years live, haven't missed a tube amp for performing since. Depends on the quality of profiles you use and if you run most of your volume through the PA or not. If you're playing small venues where you just crank a half stack and don't exist very loudly in the PA, you...
I like that answer much more than 'I hope you don't build guitars' and I can respect that. Agree to disagree and all that, but I do concede your point on moving the bridge pickup a little and the tone changes. I think it's more from it's distance to the bridge though more than harmonics and the...
Depends on the loop - whether it takes pedals well or needs a line level. I ended up using a Morley little alligator active volume pedal and it worked great. Plus it was nice to be able to smoothly go into volume boosts instead of rhythm LEAD rhythm if that makes sense.
