Champ 600 fan here.
Ditched the horrid leathery grille cloth for this heaps thinner stuff that doesn't muffle the sound and make it farty. Now it really shines with a Mesa 12AX7A and Sovtek 6V6GT instead of the factory tubes.
Little mods that go a long way, and all.

I think my small fave du jour is this one...
Waiting for the Fender Excelsior. Not physically small with a 15" speaker but only 13 watts.
If I need extended range, I whip out my six string.
I'm looking for a nice, not so loud tube amp. So far I have a VHT Special 6 or a Blackheart HT-1RH head and cab.
I'm leaning on the Blackheart only because the nearest dist. for VHT is in Tampa. The Marshall Class 5 is way too loud for my meager needs.
