No, I don't know of one, but was wondering if anybody here did. Here's the scoop. I've got a Tone King Meteor which absolutely kills for the Blackface sound. Recently I've played some inexpensive El84 (maybe EL34 as well, not sure) amps that made me love that sound. Peavey Blues Classic (think Peavey Delta Blues) and a little Ampeg Jet (the new one with tremelo). Liked them both a lot. The one that killed most was a George Dennis Mighty Mouse or Blue Beetle.
Anyway I was hoping to find something that had it all in one package. Great, complex, crinkly EL 84 sound, light, with a half power switch for 40/20, or 30/15 or whatever, so I can play it out and use it at home. Oh, and I want to keep it under $700, $500 would be better. Not adverse to buying used. The Peavey Delta Blues would do the job, the price is good but it's bigger and heavier. The new Ampeg Jet would be great for home, but I wonder if it has enough volume to play out with. I hear great things about the Kingsnake, but some say it lacks a little bottom end, and it's more of a blackface thing, right? despite the Shizo switch?
Sorry for the long post, any idears would be much appreciated!
