Man you are comparing apples to oranges...

First off the Mesa (in my opinion) should be considered regarless of cost, just because they have always had a great tone.

The Marshall I have played and it's sweet...very sweet...and you can get the head and cab for about the same price as the (cough,cough)Crate...
So. If you throw a cat out of a car window, is it considered "kitty litter"?

I dunno about the tripple rectifier. Call me crazy but it sounds kind of like a kazoo to me. I love the dual recto sound on the other hand...

yeah dude, if I were you, mesa all the way. Crates are n00b amps (in my humble oppinion), Marshalls are cool... and the mode 4... JESUS that thing is huge. 350 watts will blow you against the back wall (ever see back to the future?). All in all that looks like a sweet amp, for stadium playing. But I'm pretty biased towards mesas, they're plenty loud, have tons of low-end, and they just sound nice (to my ears).

When I last updated my Line6 Vetta, I got the model of the

BOGNAR UBERSCHALL

This is the most ferocious metal amp I have ever heard...

My Vetta also has the Mesa rectumfier models. They wail as well...

He said "rectumfier" (giggling hysterically)
Oh hey Karate_Elvis. My kid was looking over my shoulder when I was checking out your pictures on the site and said, "So that's what Johnny Bravo looks like when he's not playing a cartoon character". I thought I was going to piss myself laughing so hard. Kids say the darndest things...
Keep kicking ass though. The whole world needs to buy your album...
So. If you throw a cat out of a car window, is it considered "kitty litter"?
