Help with Tube amp

[Jon87]

Hey I am looking at the Mesa Boogie tube amps......distortion is crazy. Well, I do not need the power of the rectifiers, but still want the great distortion. Is there any combo amp made by Mesa Boogie, maybe even cheaper, that has the distortion but less power/price.
If not...could you suggest a comparable combo amp

Check out the Lonestar. Or, if you're looking to save money, go on Ebay and look for a used Mark III. IMO the best amp they ever made - I have two of them that Mike Bendinelli from Boogie modded for me, and they're amazing. They discontinued them years ago because they're not the most user-friendly amp, but if you have the patience to figure them out you will be rewarded.

I've got an F-50 and it's awesome! Excellent cleans and good distortion too - not quite rectofied, but near enough for me.
