5W Tube Amp

[lontonglah]

Looking around for 5w tube amp, mainly for home practice, currently looking at vox ac4-c1bl or marshall dsl5c
Any thoughts?

The AC4 is great! I've used one for awhile till I blew the tubes out, but been too lazy to get them changed. Other than that, the Blackstar HT5 and Fender Pro Jnr are great tube amps too!

Amp valves are easy enough to blow...Brian May, guitarist of Queen, runs his Vox AC30's at max volume (google it) with a treble booster in front so he must go through loads. That really stresses the valves like crazy but they're usually built well enough to withstand abuse. Anyway these can be replaced easy enough.

Just gotta put in some new tubes haha. Haven't been able to get around to doing that.

LOL. To be fair, they also lasted fairly long.
