Re: favorite/best practice amp?
I think one of those cute little Twin Reverbs ought to do the trick... Light weight, portable, and quiet on "10". Won't even disturb the neighbors after 10:00 PM (assuming they are over 85 years old and have taken out their hearing aids and gone to bed).
(Earplugs for everyone else!!!)

Depends on the motel. If it's one of the ones where the 102-car express train rolls through at 4:14 A.M. on tracks that are 12 feet away from my room; or the one where the couple in the room next to me are determined to use the headboard of the bed to knock down the common wall of our rooms--why, then I prefer the full stack version of the Mesa Triple Rectifier.
Don't have one, but otherwise I think a Roland Cube should be fine.
My all-time fav practice amp though is the original Fender Super Champ.

I'm rockin' the Cube Street 2 speaker angled dealie.
I like it. Not the best sounding can of bees but that's okay for private practice. Runs on AA's and I can plug in my ipod and use it as a "boom box" or learning new songs.
I keep it in the back of my truck for tailgate parties.
Tip: Grab an old guitar strap and attach some strap buttons to the side of the amp. BOOM! instant shoulder strap! now you've still got one hand free!

I like a 100-watt handwired 1959 Marshall Super Lead. Cranked. On 11. Why do you ask?

best i have come across is the tech 21 TM 10 but they are discontinued.
this little bad A$$ had a effects loop and spring reverb and also has fender cleans and marshall and mesa gains.
I used to use one with a Gmajor in the loop and it sounded outstanding,to this day i am kickin myself in the A$$ for selling it!:banghead::angryfire

I still use this Crate GX212+ combo for practice, but swapped the speakers for Celestion 80s.
I use the Q-zone pedal and cabinet with my Mesa/Boogie rack rig now.

Did you hear the man say ' something i can carry in one hand while i carry my guitar in the other ' ?
Seriously, the Microcube is all you need. Cheap, reliable, sounds great.
