I've decided to go with the MESA F30...thanks Larry.

Very cool!

I was going to suggest a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. The little 1x12 tube amp, one of the few things Fender makes that I actually like.

I'm a Tube whore... I suggest finding a nice Peavey Ultra 212 or 112

so much tone, such a small and tasty package.

I had a chance to hear an F50 & an F30 in a club situation...sweeeeet! Lots of volume and lots of tone...I can't wait to run a Luke thru it.

Tried a Classic 50? I reckon one of the most under rated amps around. You can pick up the 2x12 combo's used for around AU$1k - in the old tweed style if youre lucky - like me.....

Very Ballsy sounding amp. Only mod needed is to take off the cheesy 80's jagged "pEaVy" badge off the front.
