V3 series micro sized 50 watt 3 channel with on board verb $599. I would pump that sucker (the head) through a single EVM12L if I could sell my Les Paul Custom. Man I wanna try that amp out. Next time I'm in southern Cali, I am going to Escondido and try that sucka out.

50 watts is just too much for me these days. With a name like Micro series, I'd expect 18 watts or less...

It has a 7 and 22 watt setting as well. The thing I like about it is the versitility it seems to have and if you can cut it down to 1 or 2 power tubes that would be OK too. My Hot Rod Deluxe is freakin louder than can be. But I can get it down to bedroom volumes and it still sounds good. I am thinking that Carvin amp would be similar in capability at low volumes and way more capable at band volumes. I don't think I will ever play out again, but of it does happen I would like to be equipped for any venue with the HRD as a backup unit.
