Yes, they're extremely well built amps but no amp is indestructible. Fender manufactures them for him now, FWIW.

I don't know about all that...it's a product he wants to sell. However as an owner of a Mesa Dual Rectifier I would advise peeps to stay away. They are tinny, hard to dial in and really lack a lot of sustain unless you just unleash the full 100 watts then it warms up a bit and some sustain comes in.

Dane, what is your opinion of the older Mesa Dual Recto's? One thing I really can't stand about mine is the effects loop is in parallel and not serial. You can forget running effects ahead of the Amp because it totally ****s them when you apply any amount of gain at all. Perhaps I just don't know what I am doing with it but at this point it is nothing to me but an overpriced power amp.

I have to admit, I'm not the biggest Crue fan. They've always been to "light" for me and kinda goofy. |

Around 1995 or so, Randall Smith decided to replace a $20 part with a $2 dollar part. The amps never sounded the same after that. Unrecordable, unlistenable, buzzy, nasty - can I tell I don't like them? |

You can have the effects loop modified but if you hate the amp, sell and move on. |

Not surprising. I found over the years that Zakk is just "overloaded" on tone stuff. It's too artificial sounding.

And as for his "standard" tone, it's a mid-80's diode clipping JCM800 (not the earlier 2204 that had just a hair more gain than the 1980 JMP) with again, not one but two Boss distortion pedals. One is on at all times for his rhythm sound, then he kicks on the other for his leads. |
