Alright Mommy, the discussion is a bit self-serving... If you want to consider them Italian, that's fine (it's not that your reasoning is entirely wrong) but they will always remain an exception and no one will ever convince me that if Andy had been born and raised in Italy and sang in Italian, he would reach these levels. That said, I welcome them nonetheless!

I prefer the Super Reverb to the Twin, but at that level it's just a matter of very slight personal taste differences; they are both excellent amps (by the way, I tried an original '65 Super Reverb, it was something to make you cry...).
I've never been passionate about the Plexi; I prefer to have a clean sound worthy of the name and handle the distortion with pedals or other tricks.
As for the AC30, I brought it up because it might get a bit closer to the Peavey Delta Blues, but it's not exactly my dream. When I dream, I see this one: Guitar Amplifiers | Products | Marshall Amps

If I may intrude, I would side with Lux. Vasco's session musicians are excellent, but they are always session musicians; they don't contribute to the writing of the songs (or do so only to a minimal extent). It's obvious that a somewhat dull song transformed for the live version by Burns (an excellent guitarist) gains much more life, but what Lux is looking for is substance, which, even with different musicians, continues to be lacking.
However, the argument that "a solo is just thrown in there to beautify" is not always true: for example, Gli Angeli would lose quite a bit without the final solo, but here we also enter into compositional merits, which are therefore outside the realm of session musicians.

For the classic 50 I'm not sure, but the classic 30 is definitely in class A/B. Regarding the AC30 combo (great amp), they make 2 versions: the AC30CC2 with 2 12" Vox speakers (around €900 depending on the stores) and the AC30CC2X with 2 12" AlNiCo blue speakers from Celestion (around €1500, but it's a different world!).

They sing in English, they have an English background, and they play a genre born in the United States; to me, they have nothing Italian about them. If they were playing in Saudi Arabia, would it be Arabic music?

"Live are really good, especially boosta, he does quite a bit." Please tell me that boosta isn't the keyboardist... Because if it is him, more than eating a bag of colored candies before going on stage and playing random notes live, he doesn't do much. The drummer instead deserves praise, really good even if maybe a bit "hidden" by the electronics. Maybe in a different context he would shine more, but overall live they are not bad.

I know Andy; he lives near my house and I’ve often seen him play at parties, festivals, or at the train station! He’s an awesome guy, certain music is in his blood, but to consider this group as part of the Italian scene doesn’t seem right to me, he only has residency in Italy...

Oh, I almost forgot... For the difference between 30W and 50W, take a look here if you're interested 5-watt tube amps are still as loud as a trumpet! 50 mW is needed for 1/8 the volume of 50 W Cheers!!!!!!

Well done Sickman, you've emerged from the tunnel! I believe I will never be satisfied, it's become a syndrome now :-) It's well known that the volume of transistors is lower (for the same wattage) than that of tubes, but the difference in volume between a Class A amplifier and a Class AB one (with a clear advantage for Class A) is not known to everyone. Moreover, the diffusion system (how many cones, size, material) plays a significant role in the final decibels. Don't be misled by a number; 30W can be either too few or too many, the important thing is to always try carefully before buying without being influenced by numbers or brands. Bye!

Come on Luca-LJ, don’t take it the wrong way... I was scrolling through the latest comments, saw an endless amount of things, and couldn’t help myself :-)
