I havent ever played a mesa boogie are they reall that much better than marshall?If they have the high gain Im looking for in a combo amp I would want to check em out. I would totaly want a jcm 900 but I dont know where IM gonna find a used jcm for 700, unless any of you guys got one to sell.And by the way I want to be able to play at low levels in my room and stuff too so its not always gonna be cranked up.
