Maybe a little trolley is the solution with another amp for home recording.
Tell you what though Dawsons have been proper iffy with me about returns and other stuff - also iffy with family and friends.
Hope those are isolated experiences.

For my purposes, where I need a clean tone to step out over a band for solos at a similar level to a lead vocal then no, it'll struggle IME, without monitoring anyway.
Don't get me wrong, the Katana is a good amp, but it really isn't a 100w amp in traditional guitar amp terms.

Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
I'd guess the JC40 would actually work fine for old school rythmn work in context ( and we've used one in a rehearsal room and our singer loved it).
Buy one under distance selling regs, give it a go and look after it very carefully, return it if it's no good.

250w of clean headroom on that one, good mid gain tones on the drive channel too. I’ve been gigging it in a 6 piece funk band so not a million miles away from the ska tones you’re after and never had the volume over 4.
When you see the size of it, you’ll think I’m joking. But I promise you I’m not.
I paired it up with a DV neo loaded 212 and a 112 for smaller gigs. I had people genuinely ask why I had an empty cab when they lifted them.
And it comes in at around 350 quid for the head. No brainier if you ask me. Give em a look
Obviously 80% of the time I am playing clean rhythm - I use an Xotic EP booster for clean volume lift and a tube screamer for a bit of gain/sustain on solo's.
@EricTheWeary whats distance selling regs mate? I am skeptical about Dawsons - there is a kind chap on this forum who I am hoping might lone me a JC40, which I'd buy if the volume issue wasn't a problem.
Much thanks to all contributors in this thread btw - your expertise/experience is appreciated (@Trude @p90fool @LooseMoose @ICBM etc)
The Distance Selling Regulations state that your right to cancel an order starts from the moment you place your order, and doesn’t end until seven working days from the day after you receive your goods. This period is extended in cases where the seller failed to provide the required information to you after you'd bought the goods (ie after you agreed the contract with the retailer).
Seven days is the minimum legal cancellation period, and many sellers choose to exceed this, so always check the terms and conditions in case you have longer to return your items.
As this seven-day working period is the time you have to decide whether to cancel the contract, by law the seller can’t say that you must have returned the goods within this time frame.
So, basically you get a play at home testing period if you buy online. People have, for example, bought three guitars off thomann to decide which one they like and return two.
This is what I need - a chance to basically use it in situ.
Appreciate it Eric.
