Looking for a good 30-50 watt all tube combo amp...

Congratulations.

That was actually the way I was going to enter the tube world with the same model before they made the announcement and then I was too late. Cash flow didn't let me place my order soon enough and they sold out pretty quick. I actually just ended up getting a deal on a Traynor YCV40WR.

Good Luck with the Kingsnake - sounds like you made the right choice.

You may also want to look into Nomad or Dual Caliber lines that are no longer made. Nomad is a 3-channel 6 modes, DC's are 2 channel with pushed mode on the clean channel. I have DC-5 myself, Clean channel is awesom, dirty one is really good too, only the dirty channel doesn't work well with all pedals. Usually you can get more then enough gain using pedal in front of clean in pushed mode, but if you want to use an additional OD/Dist in front of dirty channel, you main want to consider putting in a noise gate/reducer.

I have a Nomad - anyone want it? 55 watt 4X10 combo with Jensen speakers. 12AX7 preamp and 6L6 power amp tubes. I was going to Ebay it next week. I'm tired of lugging around heavy, loud amps when I don't gig anymore. I'm buying a little Roland Cube practice amp. The Nomad sounds great, but it's a 4x10 and all Mesa, which means it weighs a ton, sounds great and is loud as Hades.

The Kingsnake looks pretty good but no foot switch. I was looking at a VHT 30. Any opinions from people using VHT?
