What tube poweramps pair well with an axefx that won't destroy my wallet? Budget $600~.
Also has to be able to run both mine, and my guitarist's input, comfortably. the Matrix sounds good, but I'm curious to experiment with something else, preferably in the Mesa family.

I use a Simul 2:90 and it's brilliant. Big, clean and potent which would be what you'd want for an AXFX. Used to own Marshall power amps (an EL34 100/100 and an older 9005 that was also EL34) but they Arent as clean as the Mesas, they like to compress and break up in true Marshall fashion whih probably wouldn't be ideal for your needs.

Bear in mind though I also run various tube pres through them all so slightly different use to yours.
