I had a solid state Laney mighty fifty back in the early 80s.
It spent most of its life in the repair shop.

Ill never get another Laney!

Have you thought about a line6 POD or Pod XT ? These things are virtually indestructible which makes them good buys second hand. You can also plug headphones into them (great for a bedroom) and they sound fantastic. You can probably get a POD second hand on eBay for between 150 and 250 USD.
