If I was playing an A-150 solo I'd probably go for a 5W tube amp. Something I could get a nice cranked-up clean sound from without deafening everyone. I have an Epiphone Valve Jr, but they've been long discontinued & I'm told the newer generation of small valve amps is better. I used an old 50s or 60s 1W Silvertone owned by the studio on my last album, which was pleasing filthy sounding.
Another option would be to run the signal into the PA via something like one of the Boss Fender Amp pedals or the direct out of a Pignose.
That said, my current archtop for blues set up is a Gibson L-50 & an instrument mic.
