I recently got a deal on one of these. The reviews were good, so I bought it. It's loud AF and has a lot of great tones. It models a Dual Rectifier and a Fender of one kind or another. It's lightweight, so all I need is this, my multi effects unit, and a speaker cabinet. I use my old ZT Lunchbox for that. The amp stopped working a while ago, so I made it into a cabinet. It has a 6 inch 100 watt speaker 8 ohm speaker in it. So most of my setup can fit into a backpack. I love tube amps, but at this stage in my life, portability is very important. I just don't want to carry a lot. 


Here's a link to the Amazon page for specs.

That's pretty cool. Like you, I love tube amps. I still play through them for the most part. However, I have done a couple of gigs on my Quad Cortex run through a Line 6 Powercab +. I hate to admit it but it is pretty damn good.

While playing through tubes mostly, I have a back up system that I carry. I picked up one of those Carvin 100W stereo pedal amps a few years back. It seems similar to yours except this one is nothing but a power amp so I also carry a POD Express, so if amything goes wrong I have a complete amp and FX that fits in my hand. I actually had to use it at a gig once and it was a relief given that my recurring nightmare is one where I am on stage about to start and  my amp isin't working. I fully accept that there my be a Freudian sexual interpretation to the dream about my equipment failing but I think it is about my amp.

Can't deny some of these small solid state amps can get the job done.  Never played anything from Hotone, but they have a lot of good stuff out there that is inexpensive but makes some great sounds.  

I personally have a Quilter Interblock 45 as an emergency backup amp for playing live.  I've had to use it in the past and it worked fabolously.

I would assume this little guy also packs a serious punch and can be a primary on-the-go lightweight amp or as a backup.

A friend's band was playing a local club a few months back and I noticed that the harmonica amp was crapping out during the last half of the show.   Last night,  I saw he had replaced the old Fender with a new tweed Blues Jr.      The guitar player also changed amps,  going from an old Fender Deluxe to a Boss amp.
