Tube amps are great,but there high maintance.
And loud. If your a bedroom player ,1 watt would be good for you. If your not a bedroom player ,the possibility's are endless. I wouldnt hook up a digitech to the peavy.
When your shopping for a tube amp try and make sure it has an effects loop in the back. When you run your boutique pedals through the effects loop,your by passing
The pre amp tube ,and it goes straight to the power tube.

Thanks again for the great advice! Classic/heavy rock mostly, a little metal, nothing heavier than Metallica, possibly a little jazz/blues. Basically everything! I doubt I would ever play out anywhere, it would be for practice, but I may want to jam with some friends at some point though. I was thinking something around 20 watts? There is the Peavy Valve King that switches between 20/5/1 watt, which seems like a great idea to me. Any amp recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
