Your real world type review is
really very helpful Jack .... many thanks
I don’t play very loud gigs so something of
the order of a Delux volume is plenty for me ....
I’m thinking the Cirro Manna 60 (micro tube) might be another good option
two channels , tube pre-amp , eq ,
ok reverb and the power supply built in
might be a neat one box solution
alternative to a Quilter SBUS ?

Haven't tried that one but i'd guess it's similar to the GH250 tube. I've never heard a dvmark overdrive channel that I liked but these days, pedals are so good that it's not worth it to me to have overdrive in a head. Plus, once you have an overdrive channel in your amp, it means you have to move time delay effects to the loop so I'd rather just have them before the amp and use a clean amp.

of dirt or grit i get , just with the volume
on the guitar and how much I dig in
I’ve played tube amps that do this fine
(but not yet experienced it working well with a purely SS head or combo)
I don’t need fusion sounds and
I don’t use fx much if at all
So I’m between a Quilter SB or a
DV mark with a tube in it
the Raw Dawg 60 looks good but
for some inexplicable reason doesn’t
have a pre amp gain control
so I have no way of knowing if my guitar
will drive the input stage sufficiently
ideally I don’t want to have to put a boost
or OD pedal in front of it

Since I haven't played the particular artist's amp I can't comment on whether it would meet your described needs but I can tell you that the GH-250 Tube's overdrive channel has too much gain even with the gain on zero. The clean channel has almost no grit. With my yamaha SA2000 (med hot pickups) and the gain on 10, there is just the teeniest bit of grit. Almost none. I'm guessing with the J Rockett Ikon pedal, you could accomplish what you want in the clean channel.
I had a raw dawg and it had much more grit than the clean channel of my GH250 with the gain on 10. It was too much for me. Might be worth looking into for you. I found that chords were always broken up on it. Apparently, there is some type of internal gain but i'm not sure if it's a potentiometer or a fixed resistor. Dvmark said they could modify the gain if I sent it in but i opted to return it. If the GH250's "lead" channel were on the level of the raw dawg it would be useful but as it is, it's way too distorted to get the clean guitar sound with the guitar turned down.

I'm sure the Watts are the same, but the price of the Superblocks has gone up.

I love this little amp - it's fantastic for jazz and complements my Wampler Tumnus pedal really well for blues and fusion. I highly recommend trying one.
[EDIT] I added a picture of the lovely couple...

Whoa! The classiest quick&dirty I can recall. And absolutely great tone.

How is the headphone out on the Superblock? Looking for a small office solution for when I'm too lazy to go down to the studio!

Hooray mine arrived. First impressions - very good. I like it as a preamp too.
Will report on headphones as soon as I find my adapter.
