Dave, lose the shitty condescending attitude. I was not talking about the Road King and you know it. I was talking about the Sig:X's versatility compared to the Mesa amps in discussion here: the Mark IV and the Recto line. I'm aware technically the Roadster/Road King are attached to the Recto line but I think it's obvious I wasn't talking about that. You know I know full well the specs of your amp, so stop looking for reasons to disagree with everything I say.

You guys seem to keep forgetting that I am and always have been a big Mesa fan too. There's no need for you guys to form a Mesa militia that starts going overboard with sarcasm/attitude every time someone suggests another amp may have an advantage over a given Mesa product in their opinion. My point that the Sig:X is more versatile than a Mark IV/Rectifier was informed and reasonable. Tone? Whole other story.

List is $2650. Some dealers have been selling them for that too due to high demand (
). The real (MAP) price however is supposed to be around $2099.

A Line6 Vetta II is more versatile than both of these amps put together, but I would still never play one, because I don't find any of the sounds usable.

I was talking about in comparison to the Mark/Recto line. Not the Road King or whatever. I agree with your general point about versatility not equating to tone, but I already made it crystal clear that tone wasn't what I was talking about. If you're going to argue with me that it's subjective that the Sig:X is more versatile and feature-rich than a Dual Rectifier or Mark IV, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree since we're living in different dimensions.
Additionally, the Deliverance has nothing to do with this bro. That amp was designed to be a one trick pony of epic and somewhat comic preportions (sort of poking fun at the people who complained for years wanting a stripped-down VHT). That's why they didn't even include an fx loop on the Deliverance. The Deliverance is not one of my favorite amps either, but it can sound great for certain styles.
That said man, unlike most feature-heavy amps, just about every feature on a VHT amps are extremely useful and usable. They're versatile in the true sense of the word. Not many people who have spent enough time with these would argue that dude point man.
I can't speak for your Roadster/Roadking as I've never spent ample time with those, but it seems like they certainly could be as versatile as the VHT. I have no idea, so I wouldn't judge them. I was talking about vs. a Mark IV or a Recto (Single/Dual/Triple/Rectoverb/etc).
