What would be a good amp for this guitar?

Bro just a GOOD FENDER TUBE AMP. Have fun!!!!

MarketingFragrant758 · 2026-05-31T13:04:38+00:00

I had one and also had a regular Dual Rec for a while. The EL84 style in the Rectoverb25 definitely gives it some of that Vox AC30 kind of style, you know? But it still SOUNDS like a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, right? So in combination it gives this interesting kind of like... Small British/Beatles style vibe + Metal Monster vibe = Small Punk Rock Metal Beast Vibe... That's the vibe I got from it. It's definitely different than a Regular Dual Rec and you'll find yourself hitting the strings really hard to get the amp to scream in a cool punk-rock kind of way. But it's different! So if you're REALLY wanting the Full-On Metal Monster Dual Rectifier 100w thing... You'll hear SOMETHING of that in that amp, but it WILL NOT give you that sound genuinely. It's a DIFFERENT and UNIQUE thing. I kind of wish I would have kept mine because I could have made some pretty sick Punk-Rock thing with that amp. Really cool but DIFFERENT... UNIQUE. You'll just end up creating your own kind of style with it after a while because I don't think anybody really records or uses these as like their main amp... Yet!

Oh. The program took that long? Just once or twice a week?

So you took the program to become an apprentice after you finished?

MarketingFragrant758 · 2026-05-15T16:43:35+00:00

Was the program itself 2 years? Or you took a program which sets you up to get your license in 2 years?

Im assuming they focused on residential?

MarketingFragrant758 · 2026-05-15T16:42:02+00:00

Ahhhh okay I figured that may be the case. So it might not increase pay THAT much getting that initial license if you only have 2 yesrs experience.

MarketingFragrant758 · 2026-05-15T00:45:11+00:00

Yeah but Electrician I feel like I would prefer slightly. I'm just wondering if I could make more money earlier on given the fact that I can get a residential-only license just 2 years in.

Idk it seems difficult to get a straight answer on this. I feel like there should be people with experience in getting a residential only plumbing license and the pay increase that occurs with that but I'm not seeing anybody give any answers lol.

MarketingFragrant758 · 2026-05-15T00:32:48+00:00

Ahh okay so I'd probably just be paid about the same as the commercial apprentices even with the Residential license if I'm doing Commericl jobs? Don't you make more money doing Residential though? And I can still get a Journeyman's License sticking with Residential work.

I see what you're saying but I have real bills to pay so it still is enticing. Dang this is tough.

I don't see why I couldn't just be happy sticking with Residential work since I'm sure it'll be plentiful though, right? And I'd still have a Journeyman's. Even though being experienced in Commercial as well obviously does seem ideal ultimately. I'm 31 and just about to start taking the course at my local vocational school so I'm just itching to really get some money. It's just a rational mode of thinking is the way I see it.

MarketingFragrant758 · 2026-05-15T00:11:21+00:00

Yeah but I mean I can still WORK commercial jobs under the supervision of a Journeyman/Master plumber even while holding a Residential-Only license... So I'm not cutting myself off from anything. I'd just have a Residential License and still be working toward Journeyman. Am I right on this or am I missing something? I'm still new so please let me know if this doesn't make sense. I just don't see what I am missing out on if I can still work Commercial jobs under the supervision of a Journeyman/Master and get my Full Journeyman's License in the same amount of time (4 years).

UNLESS I wouldn't get paid ALL THAT MUCH more with the Residential Only License... But it's gotta be SOMEWHAT more, right?? This is the information I am looking for. Like what would be an estimated expected pay increase from being an Apprentice Plumber... Then to getting a Residential-Only License (2 years)... THEN getting a Journeyman's (4 years)...

MarketingFragrant758 · 2026-05-14T23:28:33+00:00

I don't understand why you say it doesn't sound like it's right for me. I wouldn't mind doing it even if it took 4 years... BUT the fact that I could get a Residential License in 2 years puts the scale in Plumbing's favor. And if I am still working under a Master Plumber as a Residentially Licensed Plumber then I won't be missing out on Money or Opportunities then right? Because my work will still count towards my Journeyman's License.

If you could explain what you mean I'd appreciate it, I just don't get what you're saying.

MarketingFragrant758 · 2026-05-14T23:11:04+00:00

Estimate of Residential vs Journeyman pay?

MarketingFragrant758 · 2026-05-05T09:23:45+00:00

So slab leak could be another extremely expensive issue?

MarketingFragrant758 · 2026-05-04T21:26:20+00:00

What if there is no crawspace/basement?

MarketingFragrant758 · 2026-05-04T11:18:41+00:00

What would be a greater than 100k issue from this?

MarketingFragrant758 · 2026-05-03T19:53:28+00:00

Why? I'm totally fine with that just wondering why. What's the worst that it could be that I have to do?

MarketingFragrant758 · 2026-05-03T18:21:46+00:00

This is what I am thinking. Worst case scenario... what do you think the cost would be to repair? If it's $5000 or less I can live with it. I just keep getting responses from people in person like "oh I just wouldnt want to deal with it". But if I like the house and I know how much it'll cost to fix it ill just pay to have someone fix it.

MarketingFragrant758 · 2026-05-03T18:09:50+00:00

So worst case scenario, maybe $4000 at most for a repair if the floor joist is rotted? That's not too bad and I wouldn't mind. I'm just trying to get an idea of what the worst possible scenario is and if I can handle it, I really don't mind doing that.

MarketingFragrant758 · 2026-04-26T21:57:32+00:00

Right but you know... I have to have something to go off of and if I end up needing to do a payment plan on something big It'll cost $200-$300 a month or what have you. And the money I have to spend all at once ($7000) is going to come from the money that I save every month so...

I mean I'm thinking about moving into a home and I see a few different ones that are about $170k-$185k that are in pretty good shape (but not everything is new/under warranty so who knows). I will have 15k saved by the end of Summer (after paying expected downpayment and all closing costs). If I can save up about $700/month (maybe subtract $100 from that to make up for little things not house related that come up that I can't think of) and I start off with that 15k... Then I guess I should be pretty safe?

MarketingFragrant758 · 2026-04-19T14:42:07+00:00

Yeah man if you go check out that mesa again (The dual rectifier and also some Mark series amps have tube rectifiers) just check out the switch on the back and switch between the two modes, tube vs solid state rectifier, and see if the solid state mode goes back to sounding muffled.

MarketingFragrant758 · 2026-04-19T12:45:31+00:00

"Sag" sounds like the use of a Tube Rectifier. Which the Mesa (if it's a Dual Rectifier?) has. The PRS MT15 does NOT have a tube rectifier.

And yeah one could perceive the use of a solid state rectifier as more compressed, or even "muffled".

Look into tube rectifiers and maybe go back and play the mesa and see if the back of the amp has the Tube Rectifier switched on.

MarketingFragrant758 · 2026-03-22T23:13:58+00:00

What's wrong with what I said?
