I'm in the market for one, currently teasing a few deals. I'm pretty clueless as I have never owned a Mesa, any help would be IMMENSELY appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I really, REALLY want the 2003, it has tubes that have never been played on (just replaced) and is in an official Mesa Boogie shop waiting to be sold. However, after reading all the remarks here about how much Three Channels suck I've been put off to buying it, which is unfortunate because it really seems to me to be a good deal.
Perhaps lame, but I just want to sound like Adam Jones of Tool. I've spent many years learning all of Tool's songs to perfection and all I want to know is if I can get that tone from a Three-Channel or if I'd have to turn the volume up to way past where a Two-Channel would have to be to get a similar tone.
Once again, thanks for any advice you may have for me.
Basically, what I want to know is how much louder the Three Channel has to be to sound like the Two Channel in tone. Is it so much more that I should just get one of the Two Channels? And would the VooDoo mod make the head sound worse or lose its tone?
