At the moment I'm happy running my pedals into my little Fender Frontman Reverb. The problem I've found with 1W tube amps is you don't get an EQ section. I suppose if I found one with an FX loop I could put an EQ pedal in the loop?
Having a little look at what's available in the 1W range, I'm pretty limited in my options. I'm happy with the dirt and fuzz tones I get from my pedals, although I do love the cleans and dirt from the Laney I can only run it at about 1, and there is no headphone jack.
I have ruled out all the amps Anderton's have that I can afford so I think I'll just try to make this sale and put the money in my rainy day fund (Which is quite likely going to go towards some P90 equipped, most likely a Harley Benton)

Those amp in a box type pedals are a good shout DefJef the onboard gain channel on the Frontman is just plain nasty, but I typically use my Mouse for distortion, BD-2 for "overdrive" and I have an op amp big muff or Fulltone Soul Bender for fuzz tones.

Hmm, could be an interesting experiment, maybe it'll really drive that tube.

Is it not worth getting an attenuator MartinB. The HB ones get good reviews, obviously I have no experience of one so I'm only going what I read or see.

I've been thinking about getting one. Need to do a bit more research yet though. I'd be sick selling that laney but do understand your position MartinB.

An attenuator could be the solution actually. Don’t think I knew HB had such an affordable option.
