I also don't know if you would consider £499 a reasonable price, but that will be down to the owner rather than the shop! Also worth asking if it's negotiable.

And welcome to theFretBoard!
Cheers chap. That’s a bit on the pricey side. I’ve seen some go for between £195 and £350. Thanks for the heads up though.

Worth asking in case you really wanted one at cost no object though .

Easily changed from 3w to 1w by swapping the output tube.
These are great little amps although owners/sellers get caught up in the whole limited edition/discontinued stuff a tad too much.
£250-300 is reasonable for a head/combo. Any more than that is wishful thinking

People seem to forget that it took the main dealers up to two years to shift the last of the 'limited edition', some for less than that *new*.

I ask as I've had a dsl 1 and a dsl 40, both a lot of fun and I found the DSL 40 was equally good at home volume , especially if you use the tone shift button.
Got it a blackstar ID Core 10 at the moment which does a job but want a smal valve combo, I’ve tried the blackstar 1 watt and just don’t like the tone.
Plus the ability to crank when I don’t have to be quiet is a bonus.
I would consider something like a DSL 5C which has a 1 watt switch and even at new prices they are less than some of the 1 watt amps.
You sound like you're interested in the same sort of models as I am / was when I was looking. I got a DSL5C last summer and love it. I then saw the JMP-1 on YouTube and felt like I had to have one but they are crazy money and I just can't justify it. I don't get the chance to crank the amp up much but the DSL5 does everything I need at low volumes and when I do get the chance to turn it up, it sounds great. It's not very big at all to be honest, mine is tucked in the corner of a bedroom and you wouldn't really know it was there.
I agree on the Blackstars too, I went in to buy an HT5R and on first listen it seemed perfectly fine, then I tried the DSL and it was no comparison, the Blackstar sounded so bland. I'm not sure what else I saw when I was looking that would fit the brief you've described. A Bassbreaker 007? I tried one of them too when buying my DSL and was pretty underwhelmed.
