I’m not saying I am going to buy an amp…

But IF I did. What should I look at?

Mesa Road King, for when you can't get enough knobs and switches.

Not that I don’t appreciate the humor at this place

What style are you going for? Versatile, one trick (but good at said trick), wattage? Combo? Etc

Get the combo Metro \m/

Mark Vs are amazing deals on the used market these days.

If you don't really want to spend the money, pick something super obscure and set it up on your Reverb feed. By the time one rolls around for sale you will have completely forgotten why you wanted it in the first place.

I think what I’m looking for is something in the British tone camp with at least two channels. Like two channels of Plexi where I can set one at edge of breakup and the other either cleaner or more saturated.

I prefer amps 50w or under.
I love el34s and 6v6s
I hate 6l6s
I think I want a head.

Bonus points for decent sounding direct out or even a line out.

I’m really thinking about this one. I’ve only played one once and it was a while ago. Is it kinda like “Mesa does Marshall-ish tones”?

Is the DI usable?

This is another one I’ve thought about. Or even a Mark IV.

Marshall JCM2000 DSL50 Head // These can be had for $750 - $850 in very good shape. I've had 2 of them & they ROCK !!

You've checked out Bad Cat before right?

Maybe also see about the Mesa Triple Crown or the Badlander as mentioned. As much as I loved my Mark IV, I wouldn't describe it as British tone

2525H Mini Jubilee.

2 x EL34.

2 footswitchable channels and one of those is "clean".

Sounds great at all volumes. Versatile EQ. Good FX loop.

Cleans are great, crunch is great, especially with some nice pedal drive on top. Crush (other than the name) is awesome with some higher output pickups. My Marshall experience is not vast enough to give a true comparison so much as just say I love the el34 power section \m/
