7 amps may be pushing it, in the 12 years ive been playing guitar I've averaged a new amp every 4 years. would like a smaller amp for home though....

What about an Ep1phone valve jnr?

I've heard some pretty good reports on that considering the price.

Plus, I think the latest versions have resolved some of the known tonal issues (or get one of the mods of the interweb).

They have a limited edition red one, kind of cool looking.

I just picked up a Mahaffay Little Lanelai 3350LT. Its really cool. It's got a 6" speaker. The whole thing is 8x8x7 and sounds awesome!

I use a Fender Prinston Reverb 65 reissue and I am digging the amp... 15W and a single 8 inch speaker... you do have to break it in a bit when you get it but it nails the early Zeppelin Sound with the Axis (Jimmy used one on Zep 1 & 2 with a Tele) and it does the warm Floyd sound very good as well (when you have single coils). However, you can't really throw a distortion pedal in front of it so it won't do Metal... but a killer little tube amp... especially with the tube break up with the volume at 6 or 7... I was surprised. I also love the Bad Cat Amps... just a little to much $$$$ at the moment.

Mahaffay Amplifiers

I use to have one of those, nice little amp, built really well. Congrats.

Marshall Class5 or a Fender Blues Jr. might do the trick.

The Blackstar HT5 is great, 5 watt valve in either a combo or head.

I have to second this... I have the combo and it just sounds great. Its also very loud. I have used it in a few pit orchestra situations (mic'd once and direct out once... Also did it once unmic'd in a local high school auditorium that I was hired to play for).

But anyway, by far the best "home" amp I have ever used.
