Micro all tube amps

DeadMoney · 2012-04-22 23:35:58

Hi, I want to buy a new amp for practicing and have been looking in to some of these new tube practice amps such as the Vox AC4TV and the Fender Super Champ XD 15W (which is probably more than a bedroom amp). Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks

It looks like for about $100-$150 (currently living in US) more than some of the mini tube amps new I can pick up a used one of these...

I was actually just going for a mini tube amp to fit my budget but it looks like the above could be an all round better purchase as I can gig it. It seems the tone on low volume will not be as good as the smaller tube amps available and will be less practical for bedroom use but I think it would make more sense to go the extra bit of money for this. While I'm on the subject of the Fender blues JR, does anyone have any opinions on this amp or whether it is a good purchase.
Thanks
