There are 1 watt tube amps available now, too - Blackstar and Peavey.
JCP's idea - iso boxes for your amps/speaker cabinets is the other option.
I wondered how TranSiberian Orchestra's 2 guitarists got such awesome tone with no amps on stage - they're running wireless to amps in iso boxes under/behind the stage, which are then miked to the PA - this info from the soundguy running the monitor board. And their sound is ALWAYS perfect.
George this reminds me of a friend who did a one man show. He built an ISO box for a 20 watt Bognar combo he also placed a mike in it. He had connectors built into the box. He had soundproofing in it. Not only did the ISO box work so he could control his sound it also protected the amp. In fact I never even saw the amp. It sure sounded good coming thru the pa!
