HAha ,,, i would suggest this - get a Givson guitar/bass ... use a stranger amp/speaker ... use the stranger overdrive pedal ... i guess we must ve spent $200 ... now with the remaining $1800 u buy stocks of the promising companies ... this will do two things: u can satisfy your urge to play guitar/bass u will make more money quite fast, so that will enable you to upgrade your gear
Jekyll, Here is a long discussion on the F-series with quite a few sound clips. I dont think you could get the exact sound of a rectifier (which BTW I have never played but heard being played). https://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=11144628#post11144628/ Sometime back I was looking for an amp and I did try the F-30 and f-50. The F-50 did it all. The F-30 was not that good but still had it.
