There seem to be a few folks in here with experience of Boogies, so; has anyone bought or used the 5:25 or 5:50 Express?
I've had many different amp/speaker/combo combos over the years, along with a raft of multi-FX units, but I've yet to find 'The One'. I don't gig any more, (haven't for years), so want something for home use only. Currently using an Orange Tiny Terror into an Orange 1 x 12" cabinet, and, whilst it's an little excellent set-up, still isn't quite right. I want the next purchase to be the last one, and don't mind paying for it, so, any opinions? I don't want a digital modelling amp; I've got a Line 6 Spider which, though perfectly acceptable, isn't 'It'. Something crunchy and overdriven is what floats my boat. Would either of the Expresses do what I want, (set to 5w, obv.) or is there something even better out there?

Thanks all; ordered a 5:25 from Gak. Their web-price was a couple of hundred more than the cheapest I could find, but they matched the price. Also ordered one of the new Road Worn 60's Strats, which have been getting good reviews. They price-matched that as well. Roll on delivery!
