Re: Got any amps to add to my list???
Aiken makes some amazing low powered amps, I'd definitely check them out. I also recommend (while you're looking at boutique amps) Fargen Amps. I've played quite a bit of boutique stuff myself, and I'm blown away at how good the cleans and overdrive are on my Epic 30 DC (it has the best cleans I've heard thus far and the overdrive is right up there with a Savage Blitz 50 I played a while ago). Ben Fargen has the best customer service around and the prices are very fair for a PTP wired, custom voiced, boutique amp. It's 30w pentode/ 15w triode, so it'll be perfect for your power level.
Bogner makes amazing stuff, but they are insanely loud amps, definitely not bedroom or low volume recording material. The Shiva with EL34s is 80w, so that definitely won't fit the bill. Rivera's Knucklehead series I believe is 55w.

Cheers mate,
Those Bogners are loud!!! I will look into that Fargen...thanks for the recommendation. Im looking at up to 30 watts, preferably 15 though...but if it has a lower wattage setting that would be ideal as I would be able to use it in more situations.....I might have to retire the Traynor if that happens!!! So far the Aiken and Bad Cat are top of the list

hmmm, it never hurts to throw in a good old blackface fender, say a Deluxe Reverb RI...I'll be grabbing one pretty soon with combined Christmas cash, you won't regret owning one. From what I hear, this is Lew's amp of choice...

You might as well go to surf on www.harmony-central.com
it's a forum on amps; they are classified in alphabetical order of
builders names. I'm probably to late for your birthday, but I leave the note for futurs forum surfurs.

Re: Got any amps to add to my list???
Bump. Yes, Im always looking at Harmony Central. I dont get great help there though...everyone appears to have a chip on the shoulder for some reason. Always find the help here very worthwhile. Anyone got any specific comments to make on either the Aiken Invader/Bad Cat Hot Cat/Bogner Metropolis....these are the ones I am most interested in
