It's under powered but I am loving my AC4TV

Blues Juniors are pretty cool, I have had one and I enjoyed it but I felt like it was not super durable (older ones the pots are basically held on by the chicken head knobs)
On the peavey classic 30 you get great tone but some tube rattle (it doesn't come through on recordings but it does exist and gets annoying) a few hardware store o rings usually settles that issue.

I am getting crazy tones with this setup

real good suggestions, should mention that I want something with some headroom. Which kind of puts the AC4TV out of the question...

any of these into a 1x12" or 2x12" cabinet would be cool beans. the Vox Pathfinder is also a small and versatile amp if you aren't a tube bigot.

This. After some minor mods and paired with a decent cab, the Valve Jr is a fantastic sounding baby amp.
