Best amp ever
You can honestly do anything with these. The Fender-esque & boutique cleans right through to a saggy Marshall-style blues or classic rock, right into the modern Mesa metal territory that the dual rec is known for. Just more organic and with more soul than the standard version. You don’t need to dial these in either- just set controls to noon and it sounds amazing.

Mesa Boogie Trem-O-Verb
These always have that great metal sound that is raw and powerful. I add a Tube Screamer TS-808 and find it sounds as good as any other Rectifier. The full width is a bonus when stacking amps.

"My main amp is a Mesa/Boogie Tremoverb, which was given to me about the time of Urban Hymns. It’s really versatile, with a glassy sound somewhere between the clarity and nuance of a vintage Fender, and the heft of a Marshall."
"Efrim has on at least one occasion been seen using a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Trem-O-Verb head (more than likely it is a rental because it's very costly). Most of the time he uses Ampeg V-4 heads into 4x12 or 8x10 cabinets (usually Marshall and a few times Orange)."
