Thanks! What's the modern equivalent of Boogie MK I?

Ren has displayed some outstanding options above in post #20. He is a man of exquisite taste!I've always liked Mesa Lone Star on recordings but their hard to get tone is the topic of many discussions.
Once I heard Mark III but I've never even heard of Fillmore or Caliber.
Boogie made MKI reissues a few years back. They are fine amps. They are also very loud amps. They are also very heavy (lbs/kg) amps.Thanks! What's the modern equivalent of Boogie MK I?
I was trying to decide on a fender amp like what you are doing also. I was looking at the different drri, prri, deluxe tweed......
I haven't been able to play one yet but I read many reviews that said the prri has a great sound and being a lower powered amp than the drri it might get some of those edge of breakup tones at lower volumes. I got this model with the 12" jenson alnico speaker from GC's used site. https://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender...8734.gc?pfm=krecs+1440515358734+31259+GCWHOME
hopefully it will be here mid next week.
good luck with your search.
I have a Blue Angel and it is amazing. Hard to find, but my favorite “Fender style” amp sound even though it has EL84 and 6V6 power tubes. Definitely my favorite of any Boogie I’ve played.Boogie had one out a while back called the Blue Angel. At the time I was working selling them (among other things) and I thought that was the best sounding Boogie amp.
But I do think that the DRRI is the amp you're looking for - sounds right up the alley - maybe think about a BF Princeton clone with a 12" speaker for even quieter. But the DRRI does tick all the boxes you're looking for.
I have a 2017 '65 Princeton Reverb reissue that sounds fantastic with every guitar that's been plugged into it. It has a really nice breakup with Gibsons (P-90s or humbuckers). In fact, a friend is selling his Milkman "The Creamer" after hearing the two side-by-side, both of us preferring the Princeton by a large margin. I'm a Marshall guy, and the Princeton is the first Fender amp I've owned that didn't make me reconsider the purchase after I plugged in at home. Clean or dirty, it really does it for me. FWIW, I don't care for silverface or blackface Fenders with 12" speakers.
Just the stock '65 reissue with the Jensen.Was this a 10" with the Jensen, or a Greenback? I heard their are some limited editions out there...
