Sitting in the Living Room yesterday evening feeling lethargic, and not wanting to move, but also wanting to
play a little guitar, I suddenly realized I need a small tube amp.
Given the history of this thread, I really did laugh out loud when I read that!
You are of course right. The days are already getting shorter and soon we will want to cosy up to our warm fire bottles.

Always wanted to own a Swart. Hello, Space Tone.
Honestly, I think that would be awesome for the living room during those long winter nights!
I've been wanting one of those forever.

I thought you may enjoy this twist of fate. A little.
I swear I recall myself being more fair, kind, balanced, and open to unexpected
outcomes than you may recall me being in this thread previously.

Sadly, I had to sell 'em off when I moved across the Atlantic. Not much use for 120v amp in a 230v country, then there's the costs shipping all that etc. And then, ultimately, I may eventually move back to North America some day, and I'd have to ship it all again!
So it's just the Axe-Fx III right now; and I also shipped my Cutlass and Jazzmaster.
I'll have to admit that I've been eyeing up the Victory Deputy recently though. Not a low wattage amp at 25w, but it's still small and has a master, so could conceivably be played at a "moderate" volume in the living room.
After being so "Fendery" for so long, I've transitioned via the Brownface amp stepping stones to being very JTM45 of late. Who knew? So the Deputy is a bit like that, but with a master.

In the Helix I really liked the Victoria voltage queen, based on the Electro King
Victoria seem to make great amps based on Fender

While I greatly prefer tube amps, I've also been feeling lethargic and wanted to have an amp that I could just leave on at all times so that I don't have to "fire up a rig", I can just pick up the guitar that's always plugged in and play.Sitting in the Living Room yesterday evening feeling lethargic, and not wanting to move, but also wanting to
play a little guitar, I suddenly realized I need a small tube amp.
I don't always want to go fire up a rig, or the computer. Be nice to have a nifty little amp that doesn't take
up a lot of room, and adds a soft glow to the room.
Right now that solution for me is my Micro Cube that's sitting on my bed and has been on for a couple of months now without a hiccup. Lousy gain tones but a decent enough clean for practicing fundamentals. All I have to do is pick up the guitar (currently a Tele) that's sitting on the stand next to my bed, turn up the volume knob and I'm good to go.
Currently, in the Living Room I have the FM9 and FR-12. I can turn on the amp before sitting down and the FM9 is sitting next to me on the couch so that I don't have to bend over if I want to make some adjustments.
But I'd love to have a small tube amp and have seriously considered getting a Rivera era Fender Super Champ but always seem to end up getting something else.

The Eminence 820H is a good one too. Sounds big for its size.For a long time, it used to be that there were no good 8 inch options, but Jupiter do some nice stuff now.
