Great thread, I really enjoyed reading all of this!
The Clubman 60 caught my eye since I am always on the lookout for small portable amps that are hussle free and sound good, for the low volume jazz jams I do in town. I walk, bike or take a tram to get there, so portability is important to me.
My most successful setups so far are my DIY 5F1 Champ with 10” Jensen P10R and my AER Alpha (sometimes with my Quilter Superblock US in front of it). The AER is the most portable solution, but I like the the sound and feel of the Champ just a little better. They both sound good but are not hussle free because I don’t like the reverb on the AER and the Champ has no reverb at all. So I have to bring either my Quilter Superblock US (because I like it’s reverb!) or my Boss FRV-1 (best sounding spring reverb pedal imho), a 9V AC/DC adapter (using the Quilter in 9V mode also) and a powerstrip with two outlets. I would like a small amp with no other frills to carry.
The Clubman 60 does sound interesting to try out. Good onboard reverb could make or brake the amp for me. Also in the available soundclips on YouTube it does sound a little bright, but perhaps that’s just a matter of rolling the trebles off.

I cant put down my guitars till I got this amp. Its sound is highly inspiring, very warm, round, creamy, mellow, tube-ish, and loud! The reverb and chorus are also very good, very enjoyable. I kept only my old japanese Roland Cube 60 orange, and a little ROland GX10 in the music school for teaching, and I am now selling all my other amps. No need anything else... Really...
