So for the longest time I've had a Mesa Single Rectifier Series 1, and I run it through a Splawn 4x12 with the Eminence Redcoats in an X pattern.
A while ago I made a patch on my PodXT Live (which I later had to sell). This is the sound I've always had in my head only with a more depth, and a little more thump, which a tube amp would do. Listen particularly to the parts from 1:02 on, before that is just me messing around with a reverse delay. Both parts were done with a Patch like this (as far as I can remember):

Gibson Explorer with JB --> PodXT Live --> Audacity
Marshall Super Lead
4x12 with Greenbacks or V30's
Boosted for More Gain with the Classic Distortion
Probably a Little Touch of Reverb/Chorus but probably barely noticeable
And I know I messed with the EQ a little
Now my Mesa is great and it works but what amp would really give me this sound. It sounds to me like a JCM 900 since it is brighter than most Marshall Sounds I hear, and a little on the dry side. If I could get this sound out of my mesa with a change to El34's, or my Speakers that would be ok too but Mesa's are all lows and low mids while this is very high/high mids so I'm assuming I just need an amp change.
If anyone could help me that would be much appreciated :yourock:

A Splawn would have more low-end and maybe a little more emphasis on the low-mids, though.
