Rick,
Depends what you mean by big. If it's about power, for outdoor gigs
I use a 1965 (single) Showman with a 2x12 Celestion cabinet. I used
to run a 1x15 JBL 130 cabinet with the Showman but eventually got
tired of the 15" sound. So that's the "big" amp for me in terms of
watts, although it's pretty compact physically.
When I want a lower-power amp for indoor/smaller spaces, I usually
use a 4x10 Super, which is half the power of the Showman rig but
actually a bigger physical handful to cart around. Reason is, I like
the sound of a lower-power amp working up a sweat rather than a
big/powerful one just loafing along. I've been lusting after the
2x10 Vibrolux in order to get into the sweet zone at low volumes
without the big 4x10 combo cabinet. So, that 22-watt Deluxe of yours
sounds like something real nice to have.
