After a number of years I'm finally back in a band that has the potential to gig, and whilst I've got all my tube amp needs covered, I'm after a small (cheap) backup head that will give me enough clean headroom for small gigs using pedals for dirt. Any recommendations? I shouldn't have sold Fran my Crate Powerblock all those years ago!
It's pretty loud. I cranked it all the way with 2 12" cabs once and it hurt my ears. I don't think I even had the gain all the way up, I may have had a pedal on. It's not an experience I wish to repeat.
how do you feel about those little amp in a pedal things that ehx make? could go right on your pedalboard if the amp you use doesn't cut it. otherwise orange got a lot of cool small options.

I can second this. I’ve used mine through a 4x12, it can definitely cut it for small gigs _________________

I tote around an old HH 100W head that cost me £25 as my solid-state backup amp. There's always the EHX Magnum 44 if you want to splash the cash on something really small and light.
