If I sell my Mesa Mark I what amp should I buy?

I owned a Super 60 head (Mark I) from '77 till I sold it in '92. Never looked back. The cleans were lack luster. No where near as nice as my Silver Face twin reverb or my brothers black face princeton reverb. It couldn't crunch worth a damn. Anything more than about 3 on the bass just turned to mud. It did one thing and only one thing well - the Boogie lead tone ala Santana and early Lary Carlton. And even then it had to be {censored}ing loud to sound it's best. The blended volume/tone stack was always a compromise - get a decent clean tone and your lead tone blows. Get a decent lead tone and your clean tone sucks. I never realized how bad my tone sucked until I got rid of that amp.

Another one to consider would be the Juke 1210 - pricier, but there is nothing else like it out there. Pretty much my dream amp...

 

 

nice!

i have checked those out before....hadn't even considered it. maybe it's something to look in for depending on how much I get for the Mesa if I sell it.
