I am in a classic/modern rock/metal coverband, I'm interested in the most versatile amp I can get that is midi programmable/switchable.
Clearly there are some significant differences across the list I'm considering below: However, there is a Special Edition e670 (6L6) available to me (USA) for $2400, virtually mint condition. I have not had the chance to play it but have watched every YT video I can and Engls site.
Most of the amps below are significantly less $$ than the SE e670 but would welcome your thoughts...I'd hate to pass on "the amp" if the SE might be it, frankly the idea of an ENGL (being a bit more exotic and not what everyone else has is cool too). I've also read people claiming ENGL's are overpriced in the US due to the German pedigree but that everywhere but the US they are the "peavey" of amps...build quality suspect. $2400 is the most money I have/likely will ever spend on an amp so this concerns me as well.
H/K Switchblade/coreblade
JVM 410h
Non-midi that look interesting but would require midi switcher to interface in my rig:
Mesa Roadster
Mark V
