I have an amp which would be gathering dust if it wasn't tucked inside a flightcase... my Mesa Blue Angel doesn't get much use, not least because it's quite noisy at home volumes. It's just so easy to flip my Peavey Studio on and use that, so I usually do.

Can you not quieten down the Mesa? Your Peavey has a 12 inch speaker doesnt it?
It’s very exhilarating to unleash a large valve amp, and feel it, rather than just, hear it.
Running a pair, ( Or even one), Rivera Twin 2 combo’s, in stereo, is still a sonic joy to behold.
Or a Boogie rack system.( Quad pre + 295 power amp), linked to a pair of Boogie 1 X 12 cabs,( Loud, wide & very dynamic).
Then arriving at a gig, where backline is supplied, and a Boss Katana combo is all on offer, it can dull the enthusiasm, big time.
The THR-II also doesn't see much action but its only little, poor thing.

Now my mate uses it in the band that we've reignited. I can't bring myself to sell it as it sounds great.
You can do some very simple mods to the channels to give a range of different voicings - essentially all the four models (Lead, Bass, Organ, PA) have a channel 2 which all the PA channels are the same as, only the channel 1s are different, so you can mod 1 to Lead, 2 to Bass, 3 to Organ and leave 4 alone, and have all the sounds in one amp. You have to leave the tone stack with the Bass/Organ/PA values - only the Lead is different - but actually that helps them sound a bit fuller at lower volumes. The Bass and Organ channels actually sound better than the Lead, to me. All you have to do is add a few caps in the right places, and change the Lead channel cathode resistor.
