Do any of you have one amp that you use for both Pedal steel and 6 string guitar?

I just got my first pedal steel a while ago and don't have a very good practice amp for it. I've been using my tiny little 15W Fender Bronco that I've got for my guitar, but obviously it's lacking.

I don't play in any bands and I don't expect I'll be good enough on Pedal Steel for a while to do so, so for now I just want something that can provide decent sound at practice levels for both my steel and normal guitars.

I'm thinking possibly something like a Peavey Classic 30 or the Nashville 112 might work.

Any thoughts?

Edited to add: the reason I'd like one amp is twofold, first cost is an issue, but the main thing is space. I live in a small 400 square foot apartment that's already cluttered with the Pedal steel, electric and acoustic guitars, not to mention furniture. So two amps would be a bit much.

Fender Twin reverb for my 7 string Rick bakelite.

Peavey NV400 for my pedal steels.

Was never happy with the sound any other way, even though I tried; like using a Fender Vibrosonic or the twin for PSG. Neither amp came close to the sound I got out of the Peavey on the PSG's. The reverse is true on the Rick.

At least that is how it worked out in my case.
