WHAT??!?!? Seriously, I like this idea. I feel like 5 watts is still way too much for me, so 1 watt should be plenty. Last time I played an AC4 I turned it to its lowest level (1/4 watt?) and it was still louder than "bedroom level" and my current 5 watt amp is louder than I will ever use in my house. Are these for sale yet? Prices? I'm interested in more info.

I just wish someone would put out a 1W amp with a 12" speaker.

Would one watt make THAT much of a difference from five watts or three watts? Honest question. I felt like it the volume change wasn't even noticeable on my Little Giant (5/3 watt). The different settings just sounded different.

But that's a 1x10...

I realize I could get the 12" cab if I got them separately.

The combo is supposed to be around $399 RRP in Australia, so I'd guess about half that for the US, maybe less. I agree about the speaker, an 8" is fairly useless. I'd be getting the head if I were going to buy one of these.

I don't just think they're fairly useless, I believe they are useless as a guitar speaker.

Yeah, who wants to spend $320 not to bother the neighbors. I don't need tone THAT badly ALL the time.

I've got a schematic for a 1W amp somewhere, if you want to try building one with 12".

I ran across this while doing a google search for the HT-1 - VOX | Lil' Night Train Amp Head & V110NT Speaker Cabinet. Looks pretty interesting as well.

If that thing is around the same price as an AC-4 I'll probably get one. It'd be awesome to have a Vox-style amp.

Actually, yes. The killer ant was actually something I had for a bit with a little giant and it actually was the only amp I ever owned that was not loud enough for bedroom playing, through a Celestion Alnico Gold. (Which is a quite efficient speaker)

Did not know this. There was a noticeable change in presence between 3 and 5 watts, but I could not notice a volume change at all. Oh well. I'll remember this when amp shopping. Would you say that this amp is closet-playing loud?
