Ok, I think I need to get rid of my Mesa F-50. The clean channel is fantastic and the drive channel is, well, a Mesa which is where the problem lies. I don't think I'm really into it, so I need to change.

I'm after either a 1x12 combo or a head which has a hot-rodded Marshall crunch flavour to it and a saturated lead tone. A clean channel would be nice, but is not essential. I have around £1000 - 1200 for it and will buy eother new or second hand. I'm kinda edging towards a Cornford MK50 but does anyone else have any other ideas?

Here's what I've had in the past, so no suggesting these!

Laney VH100R - horrible lead channel
Marshall DSL100H - Buzz city
Soldano Hotrod 50 - err, don't actually know why sold it...
Peavey 5150 - Yuck!

Many thanks

Orange? dunno how good it would be for leads, but it would have a fantastic crunch to it... and im sure if you stuck a pedal in front you could broaden your horizons a wee bit.

if you're wanting a combo, you might wanna check out the new traynor ycv50 that just came out, its pretty cheap too, like $600? i think. its got el-34's which will get you a sound similar to a marshall. i havent tried one yet,only played the ycv40's, which are also awesome amps for the price.

Yeah those little Rocker 30s look cool.

I'm not fussed whether it's a combo or not, and I don't mind paying a few extra £££'s if it gets me what I want i.e. so I'm not repeating this thread 3 months down the line!

Maybe if you can find a good used price on a Bogner... not sure if that would be in your price range or not.

from : localhost/a wee look at this, see if it takes your fancy... combos and heads are there.

Univox U45-B. Trust me. Non-master volume, mid sixties, sounds like a mini-plexi.

You sold a Soldano Hot Rod??? On my top five list of my fav. amps!!

Anyway, the Cornford is really good. If you can get hold of one in that price range, don't hesitate!

I wish! Mind you there was a cheap one going on ebay a little while back, but it vanished with about an hour left with a max bid of £600 on. I wonder why......

Dunno what they cost in the UK but Rivera might be up your alley.

You don't see many about 2nd-hand and they're a bit pricey new. What about VHT? Anyone tried a 50 CL?
