Sweet. Now you can stock up on NOS 7027/A's. ;-)

The mid-shift on the ampegs is really what made them stand out/work for me. IME (with a tele), gives you just enough natural overdrive in the mids to sound really nice.

I had an early VT40 (similar to yours, but 4x10), that I used to carry 2 or 3 blocks to the bars. What a beast.

Frankly, it was easier if you could get it up on one shoulder, but not easy to get up on one shoulder, especially after a few.

Then I switched to heads + cabs. :-)

The VT40 was only trounced (IME) by the giant (Gibson/CMI 'SG') SG-410, which came with it's own casters. That was incredibly loud and clean for a ~50w output amp.
