I want to buy me a small tube amp head, not just to enjoy its own sound but also to be used as a power amp platform for my new Tonex One. Both are advertised as 15 watt, both have a pair of EL84 in power section, both have an FX loop, both are small and easy to carry being the 5150 more like a lunch box. I really liked the Bassbreaker for cleans and crunch, the 5150 of course excels at high gain. Both are priced very close at the store. I could easily throw a coin and buy any of those.
Which one would you choose and why? Which one is less prone to failure as far as you know?
Edit: Of course, I will plug this into a guitar cab of mine, a 1x12 with a celestion Lynchback.
Edit 2: How about the Boss NextTone? They claim they accurately emulate power amp section.
