What amp would your 16 year old self buy for at home jamming?

I don't know why, It's just what Mesa bring up in my mind.

Fred Durst was already born. It was just a matter of waiting at that point.
No reason not to buy a mesa, and put on an adidas tracksuit, so you can be the first to join his band.

All metal was Nu in 1974.
Dual/triple rectifiers were very common among NuMetal bands, the association isn't far fetched.

I thought the Triple Rectifiers were the go to amp for that stuff.

I don't really know which bands used which models, but I also have the memory of Mesas being common, I guess it's from videos and magazines.

I've played through an old Mark 2. Not Nu metal at all.

I’m scared of Mesa’s. They have way too many knobs.

This thread made me think about all those "high gain" amps from the 90s that followed the Marshall JCM800. Rivera, Bogner, Soldano and then I couldn't remember the other one . . . VHT. No one talks about VHTs anymore. Diezel came later.
I owned a Soldano Hot Rod 50 which I really loved. It was purple and sounded great. I still have my 93 Rivera Knucklehead (which wasn't really high-gain, it just has a master volume and has really nice mildly overdriven tones). But nothing sounds as good as my 71 Marshall Super Lead.

Yeah, I've still got the VHT Pittbull. Only because nobody has bought it yet.
I'm pretty sure you're the last person that has played through that amp.
I mean, it sounds great, but I'm not about to carry that thing to my occasional gig or jam session when I'm perfectly happy with my Peavey Classic 30.

This was my main gigging amp for a few years and probably the best sounding amp I've ever owned.
Not Nu Metal at all and very few knobs. It had a Gain for each input, master volume, bass, treble and mid.

You are not alone.
Here is somebody here trying to decide which Mesa to get rid of. The one with the great clean or the one with the even better clean.

I want to add an addendum to my earlier post.
My 16 year old self was also an idiot because he didn't have a fargin clue what an amazing deal he got on an incredible Music Man 112 RD Sixty Five Combo, so he traded it straight up for the absolute worst guitar ever made... a dead mint condition 1964 Fender Mustang in it's original HSC. It was as sinister as it was beautiful.

At 17 I had a Fender Dual Showman head from 1966 sitting on a Delta-logo era Peavey 412MS cabinet. That's close enough to 16. LOL I still have the 412MS.
At 16 I had a solid-state Fender Deluxe 90.
At 39 I sometimes use my son's Line6 Spider V 30 if plugging into my Jet City Amelia is too loud for the time.
For the record, at 16 I lived in the basement which was also where we kept my brother's drum kit and my father's Trace-Elliot 400W bass stack... So, "at home jamming" was a little different. LOL
