Thanks - after I got the Caverns I was actually looking at the Keeley Aria to have a compressor as well, but managed to be strict with myself and restrain the budget. It's going into a Vox MV50 'Boutique' and BC108 cab:
It's 'alright'. Allegedly meant to sound like a Dumble, as if I'd have any frame of reference for that, but I hoped it'd be more Fender-y than Vox-y. Originally bought because it was small, had a headphone jack and could be used without a cab, in the hope of it being nicer than an Amplug or something. Picked up the cab after moving, and that seems 'alright' as well, although I never turn it up. The head was on sale at £89, and I'm happy with it for that much.
@Fatberg Yeah - I think at the moment I'm just stuck thinking that the amp on its own being pushed by the guitar's volume knob sounded better, although I've had moments of it starting to work. More messing around required. I think my guitar is quite mid-heavy too, but I liked the Tube Screamer setting on the multi-FX more than anything else.
I thought the same about the signal path! It just doesn't seem intuitive to have it go 'backwards'.
