Just picked this up the other day and after giving it the all out Maddog Demo it has moved to the top of my favorites list of all the amps I have. A Kustom Kasino Club U100-P head and two Yamaha Model SO112T (4-12" speakers) Everything from the early 70's and total Credance Clearwater Reverb. I'm a happy Dog!

Oh believe me I can relate to not moving heavy amps Dave, the bigger amps don't get moved period. The older I get the more stuff seems to weigh??? Too much work and I'm not a practicing musician so my audience is usually me, myself and I so I play where the big amps sit. I've got a Roland Micro and a Vox Mini that I take with to flea markets and such and they work great.
Always good to have Frankenstein in the wings. Reverberation is good for the health. Someday i'll find an old tube amp that i can afford. I like keeping the weight down so my 10watt is good for that. The old Peavy i gave my son was a beast but sounded great. Just couldn't haul the thing around.
The biggest I have is the old Marshall full stack next to the Kasino. It's fun to crank on once in a while but I tend to veer towards the old old school stuff more. Big, small, medium it don't matter. Can't duplicate the sound of a 40-50 year old amp. I'm always scouting for something a little older and a little cooler, if it has the normal roadrash it's all good as it shows the history behind it. I dust em' off plug em' in and hope for the best, if it don't work and I can't get it working Doctor Frankenstien goes to work and a new amp is born :-)
I'll bet Maddog. My biggest gun is a 10 watt Squire since the flood took my Yamaha sound system. Don't even know how my guits sound through something decent.
Thanks Dave, I don't know if I can change it's course but a can make some pretty big waves! Played on it a little tonight and the reverb is amazing, way better than anything else I have in the arsenol.

That'll make your head spin Maddog. I'm dizzy just looking at it..... in a good way thought.....
When I get one of these I'll be happy, a Leslie 147.
I hear ya Maddog. Yup, i'm hoping for an old lap steel tube amp to sit behind me in the music shop someday.
