Right, been GASing over another amp... will probably be getting rid of the Peavey and at least one guitar.
What I'm really after is a Victory V30 - A mate has one and I played through it once, was great. I saw him live and fuck me, it sounded good. They're not hopelessly expensive either like MESAs.
So, expecting to get a small bonus at work - probably about a grand £.
Its a pretty portable little unit (>10kg!) so what I'll probably do is keep my Blackstar at home and travel with the V30. Does anyone know of a speaker cable connector with a standard male jack one end and a female jack the other? That way I can connect it to the cab of the Blackstar combo to use at home as the Blackstar speaker has a male jack. Also, if the Peavey is basically not worth selling (if its less than say £100s worth) I'll rig this up in a similar way for my week day apartment - this might require a bit more fucking about though as I think the internal speaker is actually wired into the amp on the Peavey Bandit.
I might also have another look at cab emulation as I've heard Victory amps work well with cab emulation - although this might be bypassing the 6L6s.
Just looking into more of the switching modes on the V30 - being able to switch between 40W, 7W and 1.5W might be quite nice for me too. I'm also "GASing" for a new surfboard - which might take priority as my current board is running out of useful life.
