A UK luthier/guitar company through the 90’s, was very much seen as a rival to PRS in the early days. Some of the highest quality electric guitars you will find, particularly the pre-94 era. Mahogany body, maple top, mahogany neck with ebony board. The Vienna is a particularly rare one.

Sorry, I should have used more words.http://www.patrickeggleguitars.org/
Ive seen Eggles before and am aware of them, but it was just now, your pic made me think of PRS...
Not a crit as I know Eggles are well regarded btw
hence it was only made until ‘94

Used to have a left handed '94 Berlin Pro which was just lovely, but I didn't fully appreciate it at the time and sold it a good 12 or 13 years ago. Still regret that!http://www.patrickeggleguitars.org/
Edit to add: it was actually a '93, and I sold it in 2007. Just found pictures from deep in the Eggle forum archives.

Afternoon all, anyone got experience with small practice amps?
After something that's maybe a bit more relaxed than my 120w line6 (no line6 jokes now, it does the job!).
Looking at things like the boss katana mini, Nux, Roland micro cube. Some have a fair amount of effects, some more basic. I do mainly play chuggy metal but I'm also tempted by the vox offerings for more punky type stuff. Did see the nux has drum loops, metronome and Bluetooth streaming which is pretty neat!

Spent the weekend looking. I haven't got any further 
It's quite tricky as various reviews might play mainly certain stuff & not others. The VXT40 has lots of videos, it does seem a very good amp. There was a good shootoff on the andertons channel showing 7 various small modelling amps with Pete & Rabea but it's hard to figure out genuine range of all of them from it & they didn't give much subjective thoughts. Only got two music stores near me that have relatively small stock (in comparison to the likes of GuitarGuitar etc further south).
Going to keep on looking but will hapily take more suggestions, looking at the yamaha, too. Budget would be ideally up to £180. would rather keep it smaller to save myself buying another full size amp

I've owned the VT40X for about a year now, and have a good experience playing a friends 50 Watt Katana as well. The Vox is great once you've tuned it in. But the various amp options I think end up over complicating it. For me at least. The Katana is easier to use straight out of the box for sure and has some great tones. You also get access to all the Boss pedals through the app.
Honestly there's a good reason why Rabea and Matt end up using a Katana on loads of their videos is because it's a great amp.

The Katana does seem a beast. I was just wondering whether it might be too much on the familiar side for me, but I know it'll sHonestly there's a good reason why Rabea and Matt end up using a Katana on loads of their videos is because it's a great amp.
t all over the Line 6. The budget creep is setting in, the 50 looks mighty tempting

Depends what you want really. Katana you can step down to like 0.5 watts in several steps to get real quiet bedroom volumes but seems like overkill just for that. The Vox can play quiet obviously but to do that but you just use the master volume to do that. t all over the Line 6. The budget creep is setting in, the 50 looks mighty tempting

Both are more than loud enough for home use, or even small gigs.
I bought one of the tiny Blackstar amps for just practising on the couch and even that can be loud enough for practice. Runs on battery and has bluetooth as well.
