Rather than a Tone Master I’d opt for a real tube amp. A Headstrong Lil King would cover all your bases. Personally...
Or even travelling with them, if you can't do all the handling yourself. My contact at Dowina experienced that when they went to the last NAMM and found most of their instruments broken upon...
