+1 on the HK amp. Not the same, but I owned a HK Tri-Amp, it was a monster, but just way to heavy. Another thought, try a Marshall JTM series, they dish out plenty of distortion. I have a JTM-30, it has an XF loop as well as onboard reverb, the also come in a 50 watt version and are still relatively cheap on Reverb.
OP
In addition to a lighter rig, i'm also looking at ways to reduce my board down to maybe 24" overall.
I will keep the Korg Tuner, Dunlop Wah, FX loop volume pedal, and noise gate at a minimum.

I have a high respect Alexander Dumble. I passed his amp audition back in 1978 that's how you get the order forms.
The reverb on the JTM is pretty decent.
OP
Agreed! More than adequate.
OP
Ok....that makes sense...so the 8280 Bi-Chorus 2x12 Combo would offer the stereo effect in stand-alone fashion, correct???

Amp audition?

Yes it's a stereo power amp.
That's what makes it sound so killer, a Doppler effect.
A Leslie isn't too bad but it's large and heavy.
Robin Trower was using a big ol Leslie or 2.
The Roland Jazz Chorus is a stereo power amp dependent on 2 speakers, but the distortion sounds like ass. The cleans of JC is pretty good. But when it's pushed hard it sounds like crap. It sounds like a transistor radio with a weak battery.

Several colleagues and studios down here have them. They are hugely overrated, cork-sniffer faire.
Secondly, you Sir, have no respect for anyone who isn't in your income bracket, or whom doesn't blindly subscribe to your point of view....both of which are personality flaws I cannot tolerate.
You'd faint if you spent the day traveling in my L.A. circles. I just don't find the need to brag about everyone that I know/meet.
Why not put me on ignore and spare everyone any further banter???
May God bless you, Sir....

I never heard anything good about the JC120s distortion. Its cleans are the stuff of legends and probably the best there is for that sound. Biggest two complaints i always heard was heavy as hell and bad distortion. Ive heard of folks liking it as a pedal platform but ive never heard if that's including distortion pedals into the equation
OP
Ok...that makes sense now!!!!!
Yes! The JC-120 is almost 70 pounds!!!!
OP
I gotta be honest...
At last night's show...being the last band to perform and having 3 minutes to setup, just throwing down an amp and no pedalboard was such a relief.

I hear that Nashville has changed a lot, and the music industry there has also changed significantly.
I just finished putting together a guitar for an old friend, Nashville session player David Langley. He says Nashville is a very different place today.

Im still curious over this " amplifier audition" thing. Is it a concept where you have play in front of Howard Dumble and if he thinks you're worthy, he builds you an amp? Lol

Dumbles are hugely massively over rated ---IMHO
