30 Watt or less 2 channel amps

[sublimerules9604]

I will be in the market for a new amp soon, and am trying to see what there worth trying out. The only music stores around here sell line 6 spiders, marshall mg's and 50+ Watt Mesas, so I will have to travel to try these out and would like to have an idea of what to look for.

Couple of guidelines:
30 Watts or less (preferably less)
2 Channels
Preferably independent eq per channel but not necessary
new or used (great condition) price < $1000
can do light crunch to a good rockin crunch
has at least decient cleans

Orange rocker 30, I own the combo and it's sweet. Still very loud, I piss off everyone in my house anytime I play it.

Laney Vc 30 2x12. More Vox then marshal stock but that can be easily changed with tube/speaker swap.

a Peavey C30 has served me well for ages... i'm looking at getting one of the lower volume Traynors oneday as well... (but i also want a Fender 65 Deluxe Reverb first)

The peavey classic 30 gets my vote.

Another good one is a tube amp that traynor makes, I think it's 15 watts or so, but it rocks.

Edit : Found it!

Crate V30, if you can snag an older one(2 years or more) they come with a Tone Tubby 40/40 speaker, and man...crank em a bit and you have some kick ass Dirt! can be had for well under $1000 as well.

I would suggest the LC30 rather than the VC. More Marshally with a lot of gain and good cleans, not great but definitely usable. They're coming out with the new LC series in July I think.

Laney Lionheart is only 20w but plenty loud. Always on Ebay for sale. Best sound for the money.

Check out the Mesa F 30 if possible, I think it was great!
