Soliciting Opinions on Power Amp for Guitar

[lbpesq]

Thanks for all the input.  A Mac 2300 is of course, to an old deadhead like moi, the holy grail.  And I'm going to get me one just as soon as someone volunteers to by my roadie for life.  (135 lbs.  ouch!)  I made a deal with a guy who had a Mesa 50/50 on craigslist.  I'll be picking it up this week.  I'm sure I'll have some more questions as this project progresses... and I'll know where to come first for info!
 
Bill, tgo

Good choice w/ the 50/50, Bill. I have a Mesa 2:90 which I love, but I rarely ever get a chance now to play it at an ideal volume.  
 
With the F2B / Mesa setup, you're still gonna need reverb.... Dave Houck recommended the Demeter unit. All in all, I think you've got a killer rig in the works!!!!

I looked at the 2:90 Simulclass.  My thoughts were that it looked great, but was more power than I need or could use in most situations.  I currently play through a 60 watt Boogie.  I figure the 50/50 will be like two 50 watt Boogies and should be as present as one 60 watt one.  And if I'm in a situation that calls for more power (outdoors?) I can always bridge it and run at 100 watts mono.  Also, my back voted for the lighter (I hope) 50/50.  You're right, I'm now thinking about reverbs.  I believe Dave said in my other thread that he uses a TC Electronics unit.   I know nothing of these - the only rack reverb I've heard of is Lexicon (heard some very good things) and the Alesis Nanoverb which I use with a Crate PowerBlock as a backup amp.  I'm thinking I should probably get something better than the Nanoverb for my regular setup.  I'll be starting a thread looking for reverb advice real soon.
