How about a THD Univalve or Bivalve?

Re: Suggest a great 15w tube amp
of those i picked a blues jr, i think it has the most potential. when i think tube amp, i think tube pre and power, so the avt type hybrid isnt a tube amp. in the case of the avt20 not a bad amp but not a tube amp.
i have a blues jr that is a tone machine. good tubes and a good speaker make a big difference. the speaker i feel is the weakest part, that fender thing is the same that they use in the hot rod deluxe. i use a g12m and it really improved the tone

Originally posted by Jonny RI recommend having a listen to some of Curly's clips. They sound really nice, and I think you'll be a little way closer to buying a B jr after you listen.
I originally got the Blues Junior to replace a Champ II and a blackfaced Princeton Reverb that I sold - both great little tube amps, and there's nothing better than a little tube amp for playing at home.
like jeremy and others, I've replaced the speaker and tubes, and mine cranks out some great tones, and even gets loud enough to pester the neighbors"music heals"

Re: Suggest a great 15w tube amp
I have a 65 Twin RI and I have to admit I've been quite tempted a couple of times to get a Blues jr for home use too. I think I underappreciated the value of a small tube amp before I joined this forum.

Laney LC15 vote here. A 100% Birtish character (think of Vox vs Marshall in-a-box) and it is pretty badass for such a little amp. It comes with a nice price, too.

Re: Suggest a great 15w tube amp
The Bogner's are excellent. If you can find one, the recently discontinued Orange AD1512 is excellent, too, for considerably less cash. Both are much nicer than the Pro or Blues Juniors, but of course cost several times the $$$. The Traynor YCV20 would be a better bet overall than the Fender Jrs for not much more dough. And it's tough to beat a silverface or blackface Princeton reverb or nonreverb model, although they don't seem quite as loud as the Bogner or Orange models.
