the mythical perfect travel/practice amp?

[mitchfit]

remember a while back MM was searching for the elusive amp in
the title line.

tried to resurrect old thread, couldn't find same.

i can't vouch for these. only heard about 'em today.

glowing reviews from owners across the board, somewhat rare as
amp tastes vary perhaps even more than that for automobiles.

1 watt, 2 tube pedal/amp. not just pre tube distortion like
the competition [that i'm aware of] but a pre and post amp
circuit that is reported to sound just like the big kids do.

most any 12__7 bottles can be used in V1 and V2.

licensed "London Power" wattage scaling circuit.

120 or 240 mains option should make this'n a true jet setter:

PS---MM perhaps Colin can lay hands on and test drive one
of these for you? i'd sure like to hear his review.

Checked out a couple of sample vids - sounds very good!

(active on the board today, trying to avoid real work...) I dunno...you have to lug around a speaker cabinet, multiple cables, and cables/connections are the number one point of intermittents and failures over time. Who knows what it sounds like?

The best travel amp I know of that is a real amp, rather than a toy, is the Pignose 7-100.

Nothing in the portable amp world can touch it. I can use it miked-up on stage and it sounds brilliant.

It is a bit bigger than the Stephenson, but it's a complete unit - amp & speaker.

That's the older model pignose with the orange label and wooden case for it?

Hi Harriet,

Yes, mine is an early 70s model and sounds amazing!
