OK you can't afford a Mesa Boogie - I was lucky enough to have a friend who's a recording engineer and was shfting his boogie - I got the offer of first refusal and didn't refuse! He even let me pay him in installments.

How about a Mesa V-Twin Pedal? It has 3 settings I believe, clean, crunch and lead. It has valve distortion so does a good job and, here's a wee trick. If you go to a valve specialist and just change the valve supplied to a better one, it's amazing the difference in sound you will get. I did that with my boogie and got better sound and less noise for the UK euqivalent of about $20!
