[QUOTE="Brian English, post: 215612, member: 15028"] Hey Ben , in my opinion ....much like an acoustic amp or a keyboard amp , what works is a lot of clean headroom power . Myself , for that application I would go more for a higher quality solid state amp of the 1/12 combo or head and speaker configuration . Minimum of 100watts in the amp , not so much for loudness but clarity of sound with lots of headroom availability . Not sure of your age but weight for me is premium so I have sold and traded all my 2/12 amps because realistically unless you play on really large stages and are a good distance from your speaker(s) they are not necessary . A good option for you , I think and not restricted to , would be a Quilter 100watt head and a 1/12 cab loaded with a JBL 150 watt . That is just one example . Reasons I like the head / cabinet config is portability ( weight ) and you have options as to using more than one power head if desired. I cite QSC because they are definitely a quality product , but also are not cheap . Price and quality generally go hand in hand but also generally the price of a 100 watt head will give you, in most cases better , cleaner headroom and tone . The QSC mono block amps weigh under 1lb but deliver huge sound and great tone , but they are just an example there are other manufactures out there . The main thing for Accordion I feel is clean headroom and great tone and solid state over a tube amp , unless you want amp breakup or tube distortion , is the better choice , but that is just my opinion .
