My small MC50 was tested as putting out closer to 75W before clipping. In other words, it's still loud as hell!

You'll have to search but the larger Macs had something I think called a Sentry limiter that supposedly added to the feel and punch and of course clipping!

I'm not searching for the Jerry tone but if I was dead set on it I'd look for an mc250 or go lightweight modern.

MC50 is the perfect amp for lightweight Jerry tone! Or, if you want modern, and ven lighter, go with the Carvin DCM200L. They are going out of business though, so.......
