Topic: Best Lap Steel Guitar Amp

I recently played a Vox Pathfinder 10 and despite its cheap price it had all I needed but I am interested in some feedback on a great practice and live amp to use.
Consider the Vox pathfinder has a line out so Volume doesn't need to be that much to monitor as I was thinking about using the line out straight to the PA.
Also I have amp modelling already in built in my multi-effects pedal. So All I really need is a slightly warm amp with a line out and enough volume to hear for small to mid sized events.
What are your thoughts?

I use a Behringer mixer and a Harbinger V2112 powered speaker. Gives me plenty of flexibility, and a great sound.

Wow. that Milkman is super pricey. Even for their practice amp. Holy crap batman.
Way out my price range for now. I definitely need to up my earnings for that.

Stefan, since you are in the UK, you might want to check out the Blackstar HT (valve) and/or Blackstar ID (SS) series of amps.
Both have excellent reviews. The ID series, in particular, have American/British voicings and can emulate the peculiarities of 6 different types of valves.
Most likely, these are closer to your price range.

Here is an idea that I got from the SGF several years back that has worked well for me. I use a Gallian-Krueger MS200 200 watt bass amp. This is the smaller one, and weighs about 2 pounds (a kilo). I run it into one of two bass cabinets. One has an enclosed 10' speaker and a tweeter, while the other is an enclosed 15' speaker. I use the smaller one mostly to carry out because of weight. Between the guitar and the amp I use a Line 6 Sonic Port effects software that I run through an iPad or sometimes the iPhone. The software has a huge number (over 800) different emulations and digitized settings. I usually use the Fender Blackface amp emulation with delay and some compression into an emulated 2 x 12 cabinet. This gives me all the options I'll ever need.
One of my steels is an MSA Superslide 12 string, which has a pretty wide dynamic range but the system handles it just fine with no loss of clarity.

Lots of previous discussions in the Electronics section, where this topic belongs.
1) What's your budget?
2) How loud do you need to be?
3) What type of tone are you seeking?

For me, the lap steel 'gold standard' of tone is Fish's playing on Radney Foster's 'Del Rio, Texas' CD. I think I recall it was a Ricky bakelite into a 5E3 Tweed Deluxe. It is heavenly. In particular 'Went for a Ride' track.
