I know there are many different threads on different rig options but I wanted to get some feedback and tone from folks on the board displaying their rig.
I'm leaning towards shopping around for a early Twin head (hopefully modded) but would be willing to have the mods done. Then comes the power amp question... Do I buckle down and shop around for a Mac and if so, there seems to be many different Mac's out there. Is the Mac really worth it in terms of going after the tone and which model would be best?
Then I start to think about going the SMS route... I had a chance to try one out over two years ago but I was just getting my feet wet and I couldn't get over how good Vic's Tiger guitar sounded so everything else just blurred away... I wish I had that chance again!
The bottom line is I am tired of chasing this F-ing tone and I want my search to end. My 65 re-issue is great but I’m going for holy shit, there it is tone.
Once again, I am going for that 1987 Tiger tone and wouldn't want to spend more than $1,500...
What say you!?!??!
