small amp suggestions??

[hellatone]

i want to get a small amp -- something truly portable, in the sense of being lightweight, not in the sense of weighing 50 pounds but having a handle... has to be tube, but everything else is up for grabs -- can i have some ideas from you guys???

Fender Blues/Pro Junior
Crate V15 (or maybe it's 16)
Epiphone Valve Junior

are all quite small. And tube.

I just picked up a '68 Fender Bronco (Vibro-Champ). A loud little 6 watt amp that stays pretty clean and weighs nothing at all. I'm very impressed with its tone.

You can get Silverface champs and vibro-champs on ebay for like $300 - $350 everyday. The best part is that those circuts were never changed by CBS so get a Silverface for less than a Blackface.

Epiphone Valve Special. I'm serious about the Special because, I mean, I like the Junior, but the Special is a really, really great amp.

You can get 'em cheaper than that if you shop around.

Oops, I meant to say Blackface Champs and Vibro-champs for $300 - $350, the Silverfaces for less.

My bad.
