Have to say Im not a rap for the trend to low watt valve amps. Doesnt make much sense to me. Ive got a little 5w amp in the house at the moment- its still way to loud and frankly sounds like a cardboard box witrh its stupid 8in speaker. Last night I was using a pair of Brit handwired 20w 2x10 Cornell amps- a "Plexi" (Marshall JTM) and a Romany (tweed). Both really nice, WAY too loud for home but neither powerful enough to give the clean headroom needed with a drummer and bass palyer.

Ive got a 35 year old solid state Yamaha cdmbo I use at home. When it eventually dies, I'd get someting like a Line6 with all the shizz- loopers, drum machines, tuner, FX, amp sims- all built in. Chuck it away 12 months later when it packs up.
