Hey there -- I am in the market for a 15-30w tube head for rehearsal, recordings and smaller gigs.

I already have a Blackheart BH5H 5w head and 1x12 cabinet, and a Fender Twin Reverb, so I have the bedroom and stadium levels covered, but I'm looking for something to slot into the middle, loud enough to keep up with a drummer, but portable enough to tote round for a bar gig.

My sounds range from clean to mild crunch -- any real loud stuff comes courtesy of a RAT pedal.

I have a Fender outboard reverb and I don't have much use for an FX loop.

I'm looking to spend in the $400-$500 range.

At the moment it looks like the Blackheart BH15H head and the Vox Night Train 15 are the main contenders, but what else should I look at?
