I went for a mini-rectifier to a Peavy Vypyr to a Mark V. I sold the Mini-rec because I thought it was too much amp for me. Bought the Vypyr because I thought it would make me happy with it's amp modeling and effects, sold it because it lacked any umph. Got a Mark V and I've determined it's all the amp I'll ever need.
The mini-rectifier was a great amp. For such a small product it packed plenty of punch. The effects loop was a little weak. The quality of the amp was all Mesa, with the exception of the loop.
