Does this amp exist?

Help me out here, but I haven't found it yet:

2 channels, footswitchable.
2 separate EQ, one per channel.
2 separate reverb controls, one per channel.
2 volumes, 1 master volume.
Clean channel: absolutely clean, Blackface voice.
OD channel: medium gain, like a cranked '57 Champ. Tweed voice, in any case.
Preferably in 1x12" combo version, or a just head. No big combos.
Power: not more than 15-20W.

Does anyone know anything in this configuration? The closest I've found is the ToneKing Metropolitan.

Thanks!

Not bad at all, very close to what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Mesa Boogie Express 5:25 1 X 12. The only thing it doesn't have is a master volume, but each channel has its own. Every other spec you listed it meets.

Re: Does this amp exist?

Ah yes, I've looked at the the 5:25. However, MV is one of the essential features on my list.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, TD!

Mesa Heartbreaker

Has gain and master on each channel + global Master, seperate EQ, footswitchable, individual reverb controls.

Also has two different modes on each channel, half power option, can run on EL34, 6L6, or 6V6 tubes, and has solid state and tube rectifiers.

The (discontinued) Pro Tube Reverb meets all of the requirements except for a single master volume and separate reverbs. It's not big - just heavy.

Re: Does this amp exist?

I just noticed that, by compromising on a couple of non-essential features, I'm left with a Fender SuperSonic 22.

(edit: SuperSonic, not ProSonic)

And that's only 40 pounds. Not sure why I've got three more tubes.

I'm told mine's overweight due to the transformers.

Re: Does this amp exist?

Why are you limiting your choices to the 15-20W range? The Genz Benz El Diablo 60 meets all your qualifications except that it has a max of 60W. BUT it has a triode switch that takes it down to 30W, and that's where I always leave mine.

Plus, these things in heads and 1X12 combos have been going very cheap NEW from music stores. Like $500 -$600 on ebay. They used to have street prices of $1150 to $1300, and I have no idea why the deals are there on ebay (if you look for them for a while). But you can find one if you look for a while. To my experience, it's all worth it.

Good question.
Well, because I don't need copious amounts of headroom, and my '65 Deluxe Reverb reissue has more than enough already at 22W. I rarely play absolutely clean anyway.
Even if I did the smallest of gigs, I'd still probably be micing the amp, so in all fairness even 12-15W would be enough.
Another reason is the lack of a roadie, so "portability" is a big plus. Again, I've been spoiled by the lightweight '65 DRRI.

Going back to the SuperSonic 22: it seems that it's been developed from the Deluxe Reverb platform, with an added higher gain channel.

I might have take you up on your offer, River.
Maybe next year, after the snow melts in the Rockies. This year there's no chance any more.
