I am searching for a new amp. Something right in the middle between the JCM800 I have in the rehearsal room and the little orange I used to train with. My 40w Marshall valvestate is dead after 25 years of work. So I need a new amp for small gigs. Loud enough to play over a drummer but not so powerful and heavy like the JCM800. I like the sound of EL84 tubes and I prefer the British sound to the American one. I used to drive the amp with the pedalboard, so I guess one channel should be enough. Any suggestions?

Marshall SV20 Studio Vintage 20Watt combo is a Plexi making Muthaf*cka
If you have the cash -it's hard to beat.
I was impressed with a little Blackstar in a store the other day -it's not a SV20 but it's 1/3 the money.

Re: Ampli for small gigs
OP, VOX AC15 This is an absolute one trick pony -and not a classic Marshall sound, but that one trick is absolutely amazing and affordable.
I suggest trying one in the store before purchase. Simplest amp, almost no features.
