Not just effects, but I’ve also had a small practice amp like that.
Boy no kiddin' that weight begins to weigh on one's thinking after about age 60
Currently I have two combo tube amps the weigh in at 47 lbs and 59 lbs. and while I have taken the 47lbs out and about to play, the other one stays at home.

I have decided that @ 67 years old from here on out, any new amps will definitely be separate Amp head and speaker cab . And I try to KISS also
