 What about a late 60's Superlead clone with a Dumble-like smoothness and midrange complexity?  I like how the Mid-Boost switch on my Overtone adds a nice gainy midrange boost to the sound without really changing the tone too much.   I really dig the tones of EJ, Bonamassa, Cream-Era Clapton, etc.  Specs: 100 watts (4xEL34 or 4x6L6), standard EQ +presence, 4 inputs like old Plexis, footswitchable Mid Boost like the Overtone, dark-normal-bright switch, Marshall style FX loop, post phase-inverter master volume.  So basically a cheaper version of Joe Bonamassa's Category 5 signature amp.

How about a hybrid with one preamp a la OTS and another MArshall preamp. so we could have Fender and Marshal in the same box. That would be really versatile.

yeah, it sounds like you are referring to Joe's Cat 5 or perhaps the Carol Ann OD2. Not speaking from experience, mind you, just from hearing Joe etc.  From what I understand of the Category 5, it is described as a Super Lead with a bit more gain, and different mid voicing. I think a super lead with a 5 way mid sweep control, with sweet highs and maybe make it HRM. Sounds cool.
