Mesa Boogie Rect-O-Verb 50watt (series 1)

[Amberience]

I got a Mesa Boogie Rectoverb 50watt, and it's great! I really love it!

But... I'll also need something more portable than this beast of a combo, for rehearsal purposes. Can anyone recommend anything in a similar vein to the rectoverb/mesa style sound, but that's light and portable and sounds good.

Budget is ... hmm... $1400 perhaps, it needs to be available in the UK though.

Cabinet included?

How about a used Mesa Boogie Recoverb head and 2x12 cab?

Seriously tho, I'd say give Line 6 stuff a try. Perhaps a used Vetta thru a good 2x12 might get you similar and good-sounding results.

Sorry.. no, I want just a head, will use the cab at the rehearsal place. It needs to be light light light! I was thinking Orange Tiny Terror perhaps.

No offence.. but balls to Line 6

Oh, yeah... then I got ya...

How lightweight do you want it to be and would it matter if it were single channel? Randall do a 1-module, 15-watt MTS tube head. http://www.randallamplifiers.com/products/amplifiers/mts/mtsheads.asp (look to the bottom of the page)

The Tiny Terror is a good option too, but I've always felt they kinda lack a little in the low-end.

YEAH, good call on that Randall, looks bitchin'

Looks okay, but you have to buy the module seperately. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of a Tiny Terror.
