I am looking for a high quality but not necessarily boutique head. Ideally 2 channels - clean/dirt to higher gain. I don't need OTT gain but I like to have a fair amount on tap if possible without a pedal. 30-40wts though I'd consider 50wts I guess. I am thinking 4-EL84 or 6V6 but certainly I have nothing against 6L6 or EL34 amps. I want something with a little smaller form factor than a full size head, I am tired of big boxes. Needs to be gig worthy, reliability is a must as well.
I fell for a local amp builder's amps but while each one sounds awesome I would probably need to run pedals with one or be stuck with very little flexibility if I got the other. They are still candidates but I am not sure what is out there that I am unfamiliar with.
I ditched my Jet City 20, if they'd make a 4x84 version I'd buy it in a heartbeat and I sold my XXX. Great amp but just too much of everything for me these days.
I like the TH30 and the AD30 from Orange and they are in the running.
So what else? Give me some food for thought please! I have some time right now to look since the band is quiet and I have a bit of a war fund to work with.
