My US Princeton Reverb ( its 110volt so has a step down transformer in the back as well as a 50watt Celestion) it is VERY heavy. I need a roady just for my amp.
I guess a new(ish) Session ? (I should have got the one cristo was selling last year) but anything light and good sounding considered.

I was going to suggest an Award-Session amp too.
Their Blues Baby 22 would be the other option - with controls just like a Fender Blues Jr, in case you are most used to them.
At least the Blues Baby has reverb

Hi Pete. I've got a Session blues baby in top condition if it's of interest.
Pm me. John

pete1951, it doesn't have reverb. it does have a Leo voiced channel [blackface] and a completely separate vox AC 15 channel. like vox's original, it uses an EF86 pre-tube which many claim was that amp's magic ingredient. both can be played at same time with splitter pedal. no idea what a head will weigh. but for transporting, two pieces will be around half of combo weight each. you can email Winnie to get actual weight. can be ordered set up for 50 cycle 220 VAC [UK] use. see/hear videos and guitar magazine review below: www.winfieldamps.com/dustdevil.htmlhe's a class hand wired builder. own many of his amps, but not this model. what i may like means little to another person anyway? mitchfit |

The Winfield amp would be great, but I really want a combo, and with a single 12 it is 10lbs heavier than a Session.
Have sent bonzo a PM
I have for the last 40 years only played ( gigs) with valve amps but anyone who has tried the Session say it delivers great tone.
We shall see

I recently bought a Quilter Aviator Cub and am more than happy with it.

The Quilter has some impressive features but I think I will go for the Session that bonzo has.

Sorry TT, have a deal with bonzo.
Pete
I guess it’s more of a busking amp where 5watts is loud , I need very loud!
I would have bought it a few years ago but I hardly ever busk and my Roland cube (though not as loud as the Laney ) will have to do.
