Mesa Boogie: the 2:90 Tube Power Amplifier for the Triaxis Preamp
Mesa Boogie 2:90 Power Amp
You want the best sound? right? The power amp you choose
with your rack will be the be all and often the sound of 'you'.
Listen carefully at the guys who play your style of music and also
use the Triaxis rack there are still many pro's using this gear.
Checkout the info about which power amps they use, because it's likely they will
have a great sound for their music and have usually got more money
to spend on kit than you or me.
I used a 2:90 from Mesa
Boogie before I sold the rack. It has been one of the best upgrades
that I had undertaken for a very long time. The 2:90 matched the
Triaxis as no other amplifier I ever tried did; if you have the
triaxis you just have to get the 2:90 there really is no other
amplifier that will make your guitar sound the way you expect the
triaxis to sound.
My Marshall 9200 ( that's 100x100 EL34) was not wimpy, it could
move everything turned up, but 'that' sound was always a little
elusive; actually you could not get that Mesa Sound from it - it was
simply not there. What you got was a sort of Marshall on steroids.
Nothing wrong with Marshall (I have a few), but if you spend serious
money on a Triaxis, then you need the right amp. The 2:90 was
designed for the Triaxis, the Marshal was designed.
My advice
is simple. Buy the 2:90 and don't waste your time with anything
else. There's also a picture of the Marshall 100/100 I used to use,
but believe me - don't go there because there really is no
comparison.
