5150 in a box?

I use a Rivera S120 combo amp. I love the overdrive tones that I get out of it, but need something a little more aggressive at times.

I am looking for a 5150 in a box.
I've owned many Dual & Single Rectifiers (actually found the Rectoverb to be slightly more aggressive).
I've owned Lee Jackson heads.
I've owned an original 5150.
I've owned a couple of Soldanos.

So far, nothing beats the super raw aggression of a 5150. If the rest of the amp had been worth a damn, I would still have it! The clean channel wasn't very clean and the loop was horrible.

Anyway.......
Is there a pedal or rack unit that comes remotely close to the super crunchy, sustain laden, all out ballsy assault of the 5150?
