Make sure you can try these before you buy. I've had two that have gone bad, as did three other people I know. They're getting a bit "aged" now, and are probably nearing the end of their operational lifespan.
Great sound, but don't you think a tube power amp in a 2-space rack with an effects processor is gonna put out undue heat? I just think you'd cook both units in that space. Maybe if he had a 4-space rack so there was vent space...

It's not vented on the top, the tubes are out back and are in open air so as long as you can open the back of your rack there won't be any problems. Mine's mounted with gear above & below and I've had no problems.
Heck, for years I had a Boogie 2:90 in a 6-space rack that was completely full and had no problems with it either. And that sucker had enough tubes that you could read by the tube's glow reflecting off a wall. Same deal though: the tubes are out back in open air and the amp isn't designed to vent on the top, bottom or sides.
I'll second the ADA Microtube suggestion as well. I had one for many years and it was a great little power amp. Never had a minute's trouble with mine but some people claim they're high maintenance pieces.

I'm looking for a one space power amp for my guitar processor. I don't need mega power, just enough for a 4X12 cab or a couple of 1X12 cabs. That's all.
Do those SS Carvin power amps sound ok or do they partake a sterile cold sound even over a nice tube pre amp? I recall back before buying Rocktron rack units in the early/mid 90's, I considered Carvins (then) many power rack amps ranging from 150w to 1000w or more.
