True story. I lugged mine all aver Manhattan. And you can kick it for that spring rattling around sound! But if you're looking for something smaller you could try a JC 60. It's a 1x12.
And I defy you to find a pedal it won't take.
and with that I think I want you to stick around this forum forever

I have a Blackheart Handsome Devil combo and a JC-60. They're both incredible amps and I always walk away smiling after I play through either one.

I'm really curious as to what the "distortion" on the JC amps sounds like.

In my opinion it's pretty artificial sounding. I suppose it doesn't hurt to have on-board distortion if you're in a pinch but I don't really dig the sound of it. If you're super curious I can make a clip for you

Does Behringer make a tube screamer?
It's actually not bad at really low levels...

I'd go for the JC60. Mostly because I want a Jazz Chorus really badly but can't justify getting one so I want to live through you.
Also: Johnny Marr heavily used them when he was in the Smiths.
