Ive just gotten fed up with the unportability of my TSL & 4 x 12, so am thinking that as I have all my TSL type sounds programmed into my Sansamp Tri AC then I could just run everything direct into a single channel combo and dispense with FX loops and all of that other stuff.

The Sansamp is weird as you can plug it into something like a JCM 800 and it will actually clean up the front end on its clean setting, so I was thinking of just buying a used single channel 50w valve combo.

Besides used Marshall combo's, id there anything else I shoulkd be looking at, ideally as cheap, but as well made as possible.

Come on chaps I need your collective wisdom here.

The Peavey Classics / Delta Blues aren't single-channel, but the clean channel's are nice and loud (on the Classic 30 / 50, anyway). Not sure they come in 2x12" flavours, but the Delta Blues definitely has a 2x10" variant. Laney VC30's got a 2x12" model too, can't remember whether they're single-channel or not but the one I tried sounded great.

Go the whole hog and get a Tech21 Trademark combo then! Built-in Sansamp technology!

I know your pain regarding portability.... that's why I'm thinking of getting one of these:

Fender Blues Deville re-issue.

Not single channel - just use the clean and some good pedals like what I do (I have the Deluxe) - everything from jazz to Crushing Metal.

Awesome amp

Kustom Defender? It's only 1x12 but should be loud.
