Fender Blues Jr. for Mesa Studio Caliber 22?
Fretters, I need some advice!
I just got a Fender blues Jr. and I like it. I have a chance to get a Mesa Boogie Studio 22 but I can’t keep both, so I’d have to return the Jr. Mesa Studio 22 is a bit more versatile than the Jr. and it works really well for dirty blues tones, which is why I got the Jr. in the first place.
What would you do?

Thank you for your responses.
I am clearly leaning toward Mesa, and I’m really hoping the seller returns my email. I think I’m going for it.

The MESA 22 is a studio weapon that sounds great. The MESA is way more friendly if you add pedals and it is more versatile.
Stay with the MESA and enjoy its beautiful sound.
I know the Blues Jr, is a great sounding amp, too, but soon you will get rid of the lacking versatility!
