Do NOT get a triaxis. I've owned it, have three other Mesa'a still(because they rock!), it's like a Xerox of a Xerox of a xerox of a xerox of boogie tone. Should've been called the Triasses, three voicings of crap.

The 2120 does indeed crush live. The folks saying sell it are plainly speaking out of principle (which you can tell, you know your tone). I know what you mean about that "thing" that doesn't go away.

You want Mesa? Buy the studio pre.
You want crushing? Buy an ENGL preamp. They have one that is cheap that will smoke the Digi, and one more expensive that will smoke, well, anything depending on your tastes.
You want more flavors? The Randall/Egnater are the real deal. The XTC is great, The Plexi as well, and there's a bunch of new ones I haven't even tried.
