Great minds think alike Steve...
My 1973 Les Paul Custom I bought new when I was 19. Dimarzio SuperDistortion in the bridge and Dimarzio PAF in the neck position. I still have the original pickups. Gigged the heck out of it back in the day.
1982 Mesa Mark IIB bought new via their paper catalog. 60/100 watt option. Never needed the 100 watt setting. 60 watt setting, Volume at 3 is ear piercing in a small room.
2011 Mesa 5/25 Express bought used a few years ago off of this Forum. Haven't had it off of the 5 watt setting yet. Use it for recording. Sounds fantastic.
