Good. I know you've been searching for quite a while. Sometimes it just takes patience to find what clicks for you.
OTOH, you don't need an excuse to buy more gear.
Yeah, it's kind of goofy I ended up right back at the Scout amp, but that's what it takes when you have something in your head and you can't actually compare all of these options side by side. It apparent that Mesa does have some idea what they are doing when they design these things. The Scout amp and those passive radiating cabs are just super together.
I have to say, buying more gear is still an option.
I'd like a vintage 15" Ampeg flip top cab for my B-15 amp. So, I'm on the lookout for that! And, a big brother to the Scout is one of the M-Pulse 360 or 600 amps. Might have to have one of those for the collection since they are discontinued.
