I think the PRS MT has the best clean tone of this group, which is always my priority with amps. (I can always use pedals to get more gain/crunch tones, but it’s tough to clean up a dirty amp)

Laney cub super top. Only amp I will ever need. Just about put me in tears as to how great it sounds. Thank you so much for doing this rundown. Would have never discovered exactly what I have been searching for. Used to record with a bassbreaker 15 but the noise was ridiculous so wanted something with same specs but better engineering. Absolute home run with this Laney.

The Laney is an absolute winner for me from this roundup. Imho this is one of the best demos in terms of sound for this amp. Maybe due to the 4x12 cabinet and mike placement. Raw, raunchy, vintage feel.

All good amps. A nice, diverse range of tones. When I needed a serious small amp for high gain tones I went with the MT15. And it wasn't a hard choice at all. There's not really any competition under $1k. The big bottles in the power section elevate it above all the small tube minis.

I'm currently gigging with my Shoegaze/dream pop band, I'm the clean section guy and I can tell you the Micro dark is LOUD and it does so without getting gritty. The FX Loop is the golden ticket for me. I bolt this to my pedalboard and the set up so clean and tidy. No cable trails for me!

I have the Orange Micro Dark and recently swapped the tube for a 12AY7 to get more clean tones. It sounds amazing, especially for the price. It can lack headroom, but adding an EQ in the loop helps a lot. I also have a 30-watt Laboga and a Marshall DSL1, and honestly, the Micro Dark holds its own. I use it a lot for rehearsals and am even considering it for gigs.

My favorite small amp is Orange Stamp that fits on a pedalboar. It’s a 20 watt hybrid , which is good enough for every scene nowadays, and has that very clear and bright tone that’s perfect for for all things funk and fuzzy. It doesn’t have much gain by itself, so you might want to put a Klon’s clone before it, but considering that it’s made to be put on a pedalboard, initial timid-ness is more of a plus. It also has tons of bells and whistles like headphone output with cab-sim, effect loop, which are good things, I guess

Yeah, I have one too (amongst others). It's a great little amp. Doesn't take up any space, but is plenty loud and as you mentioned, has lots of features, especially for such a small amp. I believe it's the same as the Micro Dark in this video, just in pedal format. I also have a Blackstar HT5RH which is great too. Being all tube, it's about as loud as the Orange but it's only 5 watts. ✌️🇦🇺

The Blackstar sounds pretty nice! My favorite small heads are the JCM1 Marshall's that they made for the 50th anniversary. I'd been wanting one for years, but couldn't find any. Then I was at a shop a few months ago, and they were cleaningnout the back and found a Custom shop JCM1 handwired mini stack, brand new in boxes. They even gave me the "clearance" price since it was old stock, despite that they sell for much more now.

There are a few beauties out there but may I add, make sure that whatever or whichever cab you are playing them through (if you pick up more than one) is "neutral-voiced". Some cabs sound great with one type of head but not so much with another. Hopefully I explained that right. That Blackstar was pretty even. My fave of this video was the Laney.

This Peavey with its power reductions may be the way to go

If you're after a completely tube amp, the orange is a hybrid (I haven't watched the vid yet, so don't know if Dagan mentioned that). It has a tube (1x12ax7) preamp and a solid state power amp. I have one and it's a great amp, and it's considerably less expensive than the others here. I got it for a backup, and for convenience as it has cab sims in it to go direct to FOH if needed. Eliminates the hassle of taking a speaker cab.
