Low wattage tube amp with effects loop and master volume?

I'm looking for a new bedroom amp with an effects loop and a master volume control. I'm planning to test out the Blackstar HT-5 and the Cornford Carrera (if the cornford dealer near me has one in stock). Obviously the two are in vastly different price ranges so I'm praying I'll end up liking the Blackstar more. Has anyone compared these two and are there any others I should consider? I'm open to any price range.

I have a Koch Studiotone 20 combo, great amp :thu

 

Quite loud though. Can be easy too loud, depends how quiet You want to play.

 

Look also at Laneys: VC-15 and LC-15R.

I am not sure whether LC-15R has a fx loop.

 

My ultimate quiet bedroom amp? Microcube :)

Laney lionheart LH 5.

Two channels, fx loop... class a el84. Gain/ Master on Ch2.

INcredible tone- look at reviews.

 

I have this amp in 20 watt head version. Way too loud for a ' bedroom '.

L5 costs +/- $ 900 new, but, there's 2 on ebay right now.

If you are interested in a Carrera, check my posts...I have a mint one up for sale. It will save you a bundle of cash over the cost of a new one.

 

thanks,

 

Paul
