Hartke LH1000 alternate?

I have done some searching, but I can’t find an answer. Is there a modern lighter weight amp that sounds like an LH1000? That head is the only one that I have tried that seems to work for the sound I like. Mine is old, beat up and dropped several times in its life. It still sounds good however I believe it is on its way out. Volume is flaky. Not the tube but it changes volume on its own.
I am thinking about getting another one or an LH 500 but that got me thinking what else has the same tone control and sound. I get a sound i like easily with most of my basses and either cabinet I have with that head. My current cabs are first generation Epifani 15 and a fearful 15/6/1. Generally start at tone setting of 3-9-2 and adjust to suit room or instrument. I like the tone stack. Intended to say alternative in the title, but I don’t seem to know how to change it lol
