I played through a Carr Raleigh today. Underpowered without a PA, and pricey, but it sounded awesome and was very portable.

This looks interesting;
I'm going to try that and a Yamaha THR 10.

I've been trying to find out more about these but I'd really like to know why I'm hearing so much hum when they're talking. Originally Posted by Stevebol

Not sure what the hum is. It seems like a bargain at $200. I'm trying to narrow things down and I have some regrets about selling my Superchamp XD. Originally Posted by Jim Soloway

Hum was a known issue with the adaptor that was fixed. Originally Posted by Stevebol

I have Mustang II v2 which I like,but with such a good deal I thought I'd check out a Roland. I only use the Twin and Deluxe Reverb simulations on the Mustang anyway and with the Roland, not only does it have Deluxe and Twin simulations (same as the Mustang), the default and presumably best setting is Roland's highly regarded JC Clean channel.
I love the native Roland JC Clean tone, and what I'm hearing is consistent with reviews, comments and advice I've read on this forum. Also, I was pleasantly surprised at how close the Roland's Fender Blackface amp modeling is to the Mustangs, which is a win-win. But honestly, under most circumstances, I can't envision using anything but the JC Clean channel.
I had a couple of musician buddies stop by last night to check out the Roland and they were highly impressed too.

Anybody use Fender Champion 20 or 40?

Maybe it's not very portable, but it's smaller than black face.

Well, roland it's quite biig, but it sounds stunning.
If i must choose something small, i would go with DV Mark.

I've really enjoyed my Mustang III v2 ... it's portable to me, it's on the lite side
but I'm not sure it passes the mass transit test due to size

Aren't the Rumbles bass amps? I just tried a 40 watt Rumble today and it's an excellent amp but just for guitar if I'm not mistaken. Originally Posted by tomems

If you use reverb you may want to include a pedal for that as well as an EQ pedal if you're not happy with the amp's EQ (the bass amp's bass control is probably going to be dialed to 0.) Finally, you may find the amp "too clean" and may want a pedal to warm it up. Originally Posted by Stevebol

I gig with an older JC55. 26lbs. Fits end-wise in my rolling plastic file box (office supply stores, and perfect for a gig).
It plays as loud as I ever want to play.
I have been rehearsing with an octet using a new Cube 40. Four horns. Small rehearsal space. Plenty loud enough.
Should be fine for a gig in a smaller room, if anybody ever hires an octet to play in a small room.
For a big room, it's probably not loud enough, but, really, there ought to be a PA in that situation. Otherwise, the stage volume would really be unpleasant.

I'm also pretty sensitive to weight requirements, I once had to carry a JC-120 up a few flights of stairs for a gig. That cured me. So my target weight for amps is 25 lbs. I'll go as high as 30 for a good tube amp, but for ultimate portability (and great tone) nothing beats my Quilter MP200-8 at 19 lbs. There are a couple of used ones on Reverb.com that are close to the OP's budget. The reverb features tone, dwell and amount, I think it's a good sounding digital reverb with plenty of shaping options. The surf guys love these. Also has tremolo.
i like an old school jazz tone so I use the Tweed setting with a fairly high gain and then back off the volume on the guitar. Cleans up like a good tube amp and gives me that dark, thick tone you hear from the 50s jazz cats. Buy the Quilter and you'll end up selling the Deluxe.
