small tube combo

[jgcable]

Looking for a 1 x 12 tube combo. Something like a Carvin Belair or an XV112 or a Crate Vintage Club series. Just straight up rock tones. Doesn't even need to be channel switching. I am going to use a DS-2 for gain.
Anything interesting out there I don't know about. I would like to stay under 50 watts. 15-30 would be nice.
I would also like the amp to have reverb if possible.
Any suggestions?

John,

You've been on a relic kick with transistor amps. Try it again with tubes. Gibson, Kalamazoo, etc.

Of course the Blues Jr falls into your requirements as well.

?

Looks like it suits your needs perfectly.

Marshall Class 5 if you go really small.

I just checked out a Bugera (bOOOOOOO) 22 and it had some pretty happening tones for $300. Also the Jet City is pretty cool.

Obviously - those are low cost solutions.

Up at $1000 you've got some Oranges and some Mesa's - the Express is a very cool amp series - 25 & 50 watt versions and they've got 4 channels for you to fuck around with. Higher you can get a Stilleto Ace combo in 1x12.

Used Marshalls, obviously.

Rivera Venus 3?

It's not a combo, but I'm playing a Mesa Boogie Trans Atlantic lunchbox amp through a 1x12 Thiele cab. Small, compact, low wattage, and killer! No reverb, though. It takes pedals quite well.

Yeah I like that Transatlantic -very cool. I'm just not sure what it offers over the Express.

I've tried a Marshall JMD-1 amp. Loved it. The in-built FX are very limited, but I'd just add some outboard FX to it's loop.

Anothe low watt favorite of mine is the Laney AOR Series. I have a 50 (very heavy), but the 30 is what I'd like to get. The come with a sealed 1x12 so you still get that sealed cab boom.

Fender Deluxe Reverb RI is a badass low-watt amp - no master though, so you have to crank it to get some happenin' grit. Same with the small Princeton Chorus - very cool RI - great tones and a little bit easier to break up.

i am looking for something similar, and have totally fallen in love with the VOX night train. it's not a combo, but for rock tones i have heard nothing better. it just has this raw rock tone that i have never been able to get with ANY of the amps i have (or have had). think guns-n-roses "appetite for destruction" with the gain 3/4 of the way up. you should check one out!!

or maybe the Marshall Haze 40.

All tube, Celestion Vintage 30 12", 25/50 watt operation. Comes with 5881 (6L6) can run EL34 with rebiasing. Serial and parallel loops.

Only negative it's it's pretty heavy.

It doesn't stay clean, but I like the sound from my Vox AC4TV head. It also comes in 1x8 combo.

Those Traynor's are nice amps, I've had a chance to play them a couple times.
