Vox style amp with reverb - good for bedroom and stage?

What about the blackstar artist/an those are supposed to be rather good.

Well made but very heavy and don't sound like a Vox.

If you can afford it and find one, I would suggest a Matchless Lightning Reverb. I can't remember exactly how much they weigh, but the one I played was by far the lightest Matchless I've ever lifted, and also easily the most Voxy-sounding.

Ah I thought it was blackstars ac30

I think it's supposed to be, but it's really a very different-sounding amp. And very heavy - even the 15W one is over 50lb.

Used Mesa Transatlantic. The combo is surprisingly light, f**king loud and the head is a lunchbox style (30 or 15 watt variants) if that is a route you're open to. 

Has a switchable 'Fender' or 'Vox' sound on the first channel. I let my Vox go because the Mesa sounded just as good (if obviously not 100% authentic it was 90% of the way there) and it was much easier to dial in to the venue/room being used. It also has power scaling that is actually useful and works.

I have a rather splendid Wolftone W20

These were very Vox like with EL84s etc 

The design was such that the head and speaker were separate and the weight such that you can walk in with the head in one hand and maybe your guitar in the other , and the cab is an easy one man move too 

Has valve driven spring Reverb and Tremolo

Rated at 20W but has a half power switch on the rear - great pedal platform too

Two button footswitch included for reverb and tremolo

I am the original owner - we were a stockist when these came out and had hardly any use at all as it sits looking pretty in the shop

They were about £1300, but happy to sell for £799 collected or we can discuss packing and shipping

Interesting, but kinda hard to get demos of this amp. Whereabouts are you?
