I have had an Express 5:50 1 x 12 combo for a little over a year. I really love it’s tone, flexibility and relative portability, however now I’m interested in something smaller when I jam without a full band, with just another guitarist, harmonica player or singer.
I want an all tube combo, 1 x 10 (or 1 x 12 if it’s small and light enough) channel switching, cascading gain, master volume controls and reverb.
Although I play mostly blues, I’d like enough gain to play hard rock without a pedal when I want to. As much gain as my Express is fine.
I don’t need multiple modes, GEQ or a contour switch (though if the amp has those things it’s fine).
The amp doesn’t have to be a Boogie, though I like the build quality and the fact that they’re made in USA.
My Express 5:50 sounds good enough at low volume levels that I don’t need a lower powered amp (though I prefer it to be). I’m looking for lighter weight and even more portability. A “grab and go” amp where I can grab the amp, a cord, my guitar, plug straight in and jam.
I’d like all this for under $500 delivered if possible.
Am I asking for too much?
