    I feel you, I just didn't know if this was for a specific project. I'm thinking something 6V6 or 5881 based, maybe. $450 ... need to think about that one...

      One of those small Traynor amps could fit the bill.

        I vote for the Fender Super Champ X2. It doesn't do Vox tones well, but has a wide spectrum of very musical tones. The new Orange Micro Terror Dark is something to consider also. If you want full tube sound, then Vox AC4.

          I am leaning towards the Champ (big surprise). I have played the amp and like the tone. I didn't get a chance to play it with pedals. Does anyone know if it takes to pedals well?

            I'd suggest one of the Boogies. I love the TA-15, and I have seen it go for around $500 before.

            A buddy of mine has a Classic 20 combo, and he gets some great tones out of it. It's a cool little amp.

              IMO it doesn't, it is like most modeling amps with dirt pedals. Some pedals sound OK but boosting the level to the front end DSP too much and it turns into a mess.
              Like I said earlier, the signal goes through the DSP no matter what, there's no channel that bypasses it. It's not like slamming the front of a fender tube amp.

                Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.
