The Jaded Faith Grail Tone is very similar to the SG Bully & much easier to come by.

To clarify what I meant before about the JF GrailTone, it does get mean, but in a vintage sense. I haven't played an SG Bully, but I heard it is very similar.
To illustrate:
GrailTone = hot-rodded Plexi (Vintage "mean" sounding)
Quickmod = hot rodded JCM800 (More "modern mean" sounding)
Both are high-gain and "mean" for their respective periods. The GrailTone is about maybe 2/3 the gain of the Quickmod overall, and the Quickmod is definitely meaner, more aggressive, thicker and more saturated.
If you want a Bully clone, I'd say the GrailTone is the way to go. Or you could probably swap modules with someone to try things out. I'd be willing to lend you my GrailTone and/or Quickmod if you will lend your Bully to me.
I'll see if I can make a quick demo video with my digital camera this weekend for ya.

Dude... The Grailtone is ridiculous!!!
Back in the day I played this slightly modded 100 watt JMP and it was THE tone. In a fit of weakness and stupidity, I sold it. I have been searching for that tone ever since! I only came across it once. My buddy Kevin - One Man's Trash, Downers Grove, Pedl - had an Egnater modified 50 watt JMP that pretty much nailed it, but he would NEVER let it go. I do get visitation rights if I cook dinner LOL The Grailtone and my RM100H NAILS my old Marshall tone! I'm so happy with that mod
It does VH1/VH2 all day and if you tweak it a bit you get, Georges Back for the Attack, John Sykes Whitesnake and pretty authentic Dave Black! All I need to say is I am in a power trio - in addition to playing with Shawn in L&W - because my bass player and I LOVE Seduce The first time I heard Chopping Block I was hooked LOL
We gotta hook up... you can check my Grailtone when you bring me toys LOL
