Small/lightweight amps recommendations to accompany acoustic guitars and practice at home

[WILD FROG SHOT]

Used to have a PJB cub for this exact purpose, which I sold a few years back, now they're quite pricey!

 

Will be doing a few stripped back performances with a couple of bands, the other members primarily playing acoustic guitars over the next few months.

Looking for something highly portable, lightweight, decent tone/low end, and loud enough.

 

Will the PJB Double Four do the job, or should I be considering some other options?

I've used my elf with a pjb C2 and it's fine for that sort of situation. I even used it at a blues gig, on a tall stool, because of a ¼ mile walk to the venue... it is judt loud enough for that.

 

I imagine the Double 4 is directly comparable.

 

(It’s a C2 not a C4)

I like my MarkBass 802.
Easy one hand lift and carry, great tone and buckets of volume.
They're pricey new, but secondhand prices are OK - I think I paid £250 for mine.
I've gigged with it lots!

I use a TC Electronic 208 cab and a Warwick Gnome IPro 300. Sounds mega and easy to carry. You could also use a Gnome 200 or the even smaller BAM 200 or TE Elf.

Fender Rumble 100. Maybe even a smaller one.

I have a TC BH250 with an EA CXL cab for this sort of thing, a mini rig is really useful but the Double Four looks ideal really.

 

The Double Four Plus (BG-80) has USB Type C power btw, might want to hunt around for that model over the BG-75.

Double Fours are nice, but I don't think one go loud enough in a place much larger than your lounge. If you already have a lightweight head, I'd use that with a 1x10 (you should be able to get something decent for not too much used). I use one of my C4s, which is equivalent to a 1x10, with a class D head for small/acoustic gigs and it does a good job and is portable enough.
