Loudest Cleanest 1x12 combo

[Rowwe11]

What would be the loudest 1x12 combo amp with the most headroom.
It would be nice if it would sound good as well.

[Squigglefunk]

mesa boogie mark series is a good bet

also probably one of the heaviest 1x12"

Mesa lone star classic can get very loud & clean.

It's also very heavey.........that's why I know longer own it....

MY DRRI is way too loud and clean for me.

Sorry for the spam but the best amp I know for this is the Ampeg VL 503 that I have listed on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=270226577234&ssPa geName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=017
In the clean channel you can go almost all the way to 10 with great, powerful cleans. I know it does this at least as well as the Boogie MKIIC+ Simul Class I just sold and that is pretty impressive. With its pair of 6550 tubes it is rated at 75 watts and it has the EVM speaker. The VL in its name stands for very loud, no lie.
It is a heavy little sucker though at 82lbs. Check it out. The price is set very low for a quick sale. I have found another amp that I just have to have. You know what I'm talking about.

Fender 75 combo - they made 'em to compete with Boogies. The overdrive channel is so-so; the clean channel is Fender wicked-good - very Twin Reverb-like, but with more guts & nuts to its tone. If you've been in the gym and are a bit buff, it also comes in a 1x15 combo that rules.

Otherwise - Mesa MkIV is pretty cool... and like the Fender 75 - HEAVY...

Shameless plug, but I've got a Reverberocket 1x12 combo FS in the Emporium

MY F-50 is crazy clear!

Doesn't meet the "sounds good" criteria to some ears, but the old Solo series Peavey Special 150 was so loud it would make your ears bleed. Gets my vote for loud.

Reeves Custom 50 Combo seems like it would fit. Hiwatt huge!

By far the Mesa Boogie Mark III with an EV speaker was the loudest 1x12 with the most headroom of any amp I've played. It was also the heaviest 1x12.

Bogner Shiva w/el34's

I've got a Mk III blue label w/EV simulclass/eq and mine sounds absolutely great. Yes it's heavier than a couple cinder blocks and I use a heavy duty luggage cart to haul it, built like a tank and with the master volume can play it soft, in between or louder than hell! I usually run it on class A w/EL34's. Running it on 100watts A/B w additional 6L6's and cranked and it shakes windows!

Musicman.... LOUD & clean.
