Honestly, I've gigged the JCA22H for years, and I reckon it's the perfect < 30W amp. The only thing is that for either of these, you'll likely need a fairly efficient set of speakers (minimum 2x12") if you're going up against a loud drummer and not putting a mic on your cab. Also worth bearing in mind that the LBX2 will have less headroom.
Yes - concern on both options is volume. My 30W Hayden is plenty loud over loud drummer. I'm using a Mesa 1x12 with black shadow speaker. 2x12 starts becoming overkill for our gigs.
Evh has a rep for being crazy loud for a 15w rating so was expecting it to be ok. Maybe the Jc 50w would be a better bet? Stupid low prices as you say.
I owned the LBX and it's a dog of an amp. The overdrive is like a buzz box, very harsh and impossible to smooth out no matter what cab you use and even with an EQ pedal in the loop. Believe me i flogged that horse until I'd exhausted all options
Its nothing like it's 50 or 100 watt big brothers
JC all the way
Obviously, the JCA50H is easily enough. You might also consider the Jet City Amelia - proper clean channel and a proper drive channel, dual master volumes etc:

Is that a new model? Not spotted it before.
And i think it expects a 2x8ohm or 1x16ohm so a 1x8ohm won't work?
I think you're right. The 22 is worth a punt with not much to lose if it all goes wrong.
Arrival date has been pushed back a month now though. Expected 10th March. Was 15th Feb before
I see what they did there.
Doubt I'll be buying one, though. My next purchase is going to be a Helix, probably at the end of the year; if I need a live rig before then, I'll most likely get a Bogner Red and a clean AMT preamp to run into an effects return, purely because that's a setup I'm incredibly curious about.
You don't fancy one of those new Eleven floor processors then. The Helix ripoff lol?
They're basically the most unresponsive company I've come across since Avid; I see that as a relevant comparison. When I can get an almost-instant response from a massive company like Line 6/Yamaha but not a single response to a simple question ("Does it have delay/reverb spillover?") in a whole month, it's not a good sign. Asking that question basically results in no further responses from them on any given thread.
Also, it sounded pretty gash on the DI demos.
So...I'm going to buy from the company that has the better track record of talking to people instead.
