I just sold my blackstar ht-5. It was a great amp, no doubt, but my music styles have changed lately. Drummers that I play with do not do metal, and that is cool, I need to expand my horizons. I have a xxx for ultra high gain and it sounds great for that. The reason I ditched the ht-5 is that when cranked with a drummer, the clean channel sounds more like a gain channel.
For my smaller, more portable amp, I want to have something with a bit of clean headroom so that I can play surf, prog, rock, but not necessarily metal unless I'm putting a fuzz in front for something slow and doomy. Here are my amp requirements:
My gear is listed in my signature if you want to see what cab and pedals I use. Here are the obvious choices:
-Egnater Tweaker 15W
-Jet City Amplification JCA20H
-Hughes & Kettner TubeMeister 18 (maybe find a used one for cheap)
Any feedback on the above amps, or any new amp suggestions?
Thanks!

- Light and portable
- clean and gain options, whether it be two channels or voice switching (footswitch not required)
- effects loop (absolute must for my reverb pedal)
- $500 is my budget, but I'm expecting to get something for less
