I've got a Peavey Delta Blues which I love but I'm fed up with lugging it to the local scout hut every friday! as it weighs a ton and it never goes above 2 on the volume knob and for rehearsals is starting to feel a bit like overkill.
The band play mainly the Jam and Queen, Dad rock etc.
Can anyone recommend a small light amp that will hold its own against a drummer. Preferably non modelling. I had a VOX ac30VT but found it a real faff to get a decent sound out of that would cut through with the band and I didn't have time to muck about with the all of the modelling setting mid rehearsal. The beauty of the valve amp is it just sounds good as soon as you plug it in.
Was thinking of one of those ZT Lunchbox amps but they are a bit pricey for what would be a third amp (Have a Yamaha THR 5 for at home) Looking to spend a couple of hundred quid max.

Fender Champion 40. Modelling (but only a handful of models) solid-state 40W. Weighs in at 8.6Kg. Some basic effects but not too many. Round about the £140 mark. Someone I know has one and it does do those Fendery cleans very well. Easily keeps up with a (well-mannered) drummer at a local jam night. Not sure how it would square up against a Neanderthal tub thumper though.
Too late! . But if anyone does buy one, get a bungee too, so the amp is less likely to tip off it.
