Cool. I've never heard or played one of those, but I've read that they sound pretty good. I was going to suggest a small Vox or small Fender tube amp. Have fun!

Welcome! Great looking guitar. I've been a Vox guy since the 70's when I schlepped around a monster Thomas Organ solid-state Super Beatle (with 4x12 cabinet and chrome trolley) to gigs 3x a week when I was in college. Ah, to be so young and strong again! I scaled down to an AD60VTX Valvetronix (Blue series) almost 20 years ago, and, 8 years ago, to an even smaller VT20+ for living room practice. Oh, and a ToneLab LE effects box/pedal that I run to a Vox AC4 in my home office to keep me company during conference calls that don't need my undivided attention. (It's amazing how many of those there are!) Not surprisingly, the Valvetronix amps do Vox models very well and have a really nice reverb that that does great jazz tones with hollow and semi-hollow guitars, just add a little slapback delay with your Guildsby and go straight to rockabilly heaven. It's easy to get authentic British Invasion tones with them, too. You'll have a blast!

I’ve got an AD120vt on loan from a friend. My wife’s first words were “Turn that d*mn thing down!!!” I’m only running it on 30watts right now and that’s plenty.

One of the first things I ever reviewed was a Vox Valvetronix:

Vox VT30 Valvetronix Amp Review | GAD's Ramblings

I am a tube amp snob, or at least I used to be. The warm glow of tubes as they crunch my guitar’s signal into auditory bliss is just something that feels right. I also disliked most modelers until recently. Every time I tried some modeling gizmo I hated it. That is, until about a …

Very nice guitar. I'm extremely happy with my Guild Starfire IV from Sweatwater. It's a Newark Street series also, and it's one of my best guitars. I gigged it for four years, and it never let me down. It cured my desire for an ES-335.
