Hm, well $2500 is a good budget for a real nice amp.
I know Mesa boogie has amplifiers that have the ability to switch to different wattages. For instance the Lone Star can switch from 10watts to 50 watts to 100 watts. http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/Lonestar/Lonestar.htm The 5:50 Express can go from 25watts to 50watts ect... You basically need to investigate which suits you best. I have an older F:50 which works very well at low levels somehow (it only has 2 6l6 tubes, maybe this is why?) yet it can really crank when you pump the volume. So do some research, check out in particular Mesa-Boogie - I think you'll like them - very versatile amps. |

I tried a Road King 2, and it needed to be too loud to sound good (lead)....however it may have been just that amp...i will try the lonestar cause the half switch sounds like just what i need..
