I found my ultimate bedroom rig!!! + what 112 for me?

[Pierre]

Yeah, I'm excite. Just bear with me.

Ibanez Valbee modified for external speaker outlet and maybe footswitch (shouldn't be too hard either to be honest)
All my soon to be (er... soon..ish) custom head (one is almost done)
POD sometimes through the effects loop of the Valbee

And a 112 cab.

Cool isn't it? You better agree. Anyway yes later one there'd be an Epiphone Valve Junior head that I'd A/B/Y with the Ibanez through the 112. And the pedals of course... my modded (ok, soon to be ) SD1 (to mimic a TS808), a clean boost I just built, my wah, etc... to the ABY box should take care of things.
Anyway yes... all low wattage tube amps through a nice 112 (I'd probably get a 15W celestion or Jensen, something low wattage too that I could easily replace anyway)

Anyway that is my main problem now... What are some cheap but decently made 112 that I could use, and maybe later change the speaker? I live in the UK and there's nothing there, so suggest ANYTHING, it can't hurt Thanks!

First,do you allready own the Valbee and do you like it?(just curious)

As for the Cab, i don't know what you consider cheap but if you want a quality cab you should look into one of the Engl 1x12s. They aren't really cheap but any Engl cab i've used so far blew away the marshall cab i'm experienced with, both sound and build-quality wise. I think thomann has them and since Engl is here in germany ordering one shouldn't be a big problem(also thomann doesn't charge shipping so this might be good for you).

I played one and I really dug it, but I don't own one yet.

I'll check out the ENGL one. But if it ends up over 150 pounds I should build one myself.

ok, the Engl is definitely out of question if the limit is 150 pounds, except you find one used,but 1x12 Engls are relatively rare AFAIK

Well, isn´t the Valbee a tube amp?? That means you´ll need 2 cabs, because if you ru teh A/b from the speaker outouts the Valbee will likely develop problems soon after you remove the speaker load and switch to the other amp...

2 1x12s or a Stereo 2x12 should help here

Bah. I just rethought everything again. I'll just get the Ibanez and then MAYBE a 112. Then a LC15R because they're that cool.

Eminence Red Fangs work very well for low wattage apps.
