My wife has given me the green light to pick up a new amp so I'm getting one over the next week but I thought I'd put it out to you guys before doing anything.
I've posted a fair few times in the last few weeks about little amps that can be used at home and at a push a small pub gig (mic'd) if need be. Really for gigs I have other options so my main need is home use.
The shortlist is now
Cornell Plexi 7
Cornell Romany
Marshall Ofset 1 watt
i know the Plexi and Ofset get to a similar tone and the Romany is the odd one out but it seems to have a fantastic tone that I find appealing.
So over to you guys, from this list which amp would you go for? Or if you can suggest something that is in the same sort of ball park as these, low output,, small, great vintage tones and importantly a good looking amp as my green light was given so long as "I don't put a horrible looking black box in the corner".

First thing's first - just do a test to make sure you're not colour blind, and what you've seen as green isn't actually a red! Many a marriage has come to a sticky end by such innocent confusion!! So, just in case:

If the alternative is a Marshall, I guess the Plexi would be closer...
Yes. I wouldn't give a Romany house Room. Don't like them. Plexus amazing though
