    Blackheart Handsome Devil, on the 7watt setting. Still plenty loud.

    Main user Engl E650 100w head into Engl Pro 2x12 with Jettenuator

    Surprising good sounds at very low volume. Same with a Fender 100w supersonic twin (on club 25w setting). There is a depth to the sound at low volumes on these big brutes that doesn't seem to be there other than on my RAT modded small combos.

    And I've never heard the neighbours complain :))

    The TOne Kings. If you see one 2nd hand, for a grand they're a bargain.

    I use either my modular Randall/Egnater rack through a 10w MJW power amp or I use one of the new amps that MJW are building me which are 10w single ended but plenty loud for home use.
    I'm having them made in a variety of flavours - Fender one shown here, but Bogner (Marshall-ish voiced one) coming soon.
    Martin could offer a Soldano front end or whatever

    Lionheart L5t-112 ...the new one that's china manufactured is not as nice though, I sent one back when I received it thinking it would be the original one and realised it sounded quite disappointing compared to other ones I'd tried. I then got an original one and happy days (a giveaway that's easiest to spot is the original ones is they have a real reverb tank in the bottom, the chinese ones don't as they have a digital reverb), the chinese ones don't sound as good at all to me, there were quite a lot of changes, it wasn't simply a case of where it was manufactured.

    I'm using an Audio Kitchen The Big Trees into a matchless cab a lot recently.

    All this Lionheart L5T talk is making me really miss my stereo pair. I sold them both this last week to do a similar setup to @Van_Hayden. Got my Mesa Dual back, after selling mine a year or two back to fund my Les Paul, and I've also got a Reeves Custom 50 and will be feeding them both through a Suhr Reactive Load onto a Torpedo CAB and into two of the new Matrix FR12 cabs (eventually 3 for W/D/W)...it's going to sound blissful but until it all arrives and I get to try it out, my arse is twitching and will be twitching big style until I realise that it wasn't all one big horrific and very expensive mistake!

    I'll let you know how I get on. But like @Van_Hayden said, it does mean that I may be able to use the amps I've always dreamt of using, in the comfort of my own home! Happy days!
