I miss my trusty old NV 400. Sold it awhile back due to the weight & my bad back.
I've tried a few setups in the past year or 2 and they sound good, even great, but don't have the feel.
Can any of you folks recommend a lighter weight NV400 probably SS amp?
Have tried tube amps, good ones too! But it's not the same. Tube sag I guess.
Maybe a DV Mark?
I know it's a loaded question, I'm tired of chasing amp tone.
I like a big fat sound.
Thanks in advance.

I'm going for the DV Mark. Will report in a week or 2.
Feel like I'm clogging up the internet with all these posts. 
Thanks all!

So far so good with the DV Mark.
Anybody have some settings to share with the DV?
I'm playing a PP. Pickup reads at 16 ohms.
Now if we could only make a racket with it out in the world. 
Thanks in advance!

Which DV? I was looking at a used one in Guitar center's website, Greg Howe 250, also Tone Block 201.
I used to have a Boss Katana 50 which worked great, not quite real tube sound but I could pick it up with 2 fingers, the only problem was their 5 button footswitch only worked with the 100 models

Yes Gene - GH 250.
As you said, not quite a tube sound. Very warm for a ss amp.
Reverb is really wide, so you turn it down.
The only "problem" I'm having after messing with it for 2 days is the channel switch button is kinda small. The remedy is a foot switch.

I have the DV Mark 250 and it's a very nice lightweight amp. I also use an MXR 10 band EQ in the effects loop. This extends the tonal shape and adds to the character of the amp.
