Laney VC15 and LC15 not quite 5 watts, but 15 isnt too bad. the lionheart is a 5 watt, but its kinda expensive.

Black heart BH5, it has a 3 band and its cheap.

if you can find an old Kalamazoo i highly recomend them. i owned a model 2 till my dad mistook it for trash when i was building it into a small head and cab. controls on that were on/volume, tone, vibrato. a blown tube in the v1 made it sound like a really cool driven synth too. overall its like the poor mans champ, but better cuz you get trem and its a u magnet 10" speaker.

Speaking of the champ, they started repros on them recently. not a bad amp by what i know of them either. fairly reasonable too, way to go fender! (for once)

Peavey JSX mini collosal. might be priceir than you are looking for. they also make a the Valve King Royal 5, which is more affordable

the Crate V5. i cant believe i am actually even mentioning Crate in the running for any thing, but the V series does what they are supposed to with out too much extra buzz. kind strange.

idk what else is out there, but im sure there is more



Palomino V8 is 5 watts and cheap too

I can mod the shit out of those little guys! I suppose I could add a Bloody Murder to it, never thought of that before. I could put a relay on it like I did in the rack ones and you could use a normal 1-button amp footswitch to turn it on and off.

I was gonna ask you about doing just that to my Plexi. awesome

I've always thought that it would be badass to have a TS-based OD built into the amp that can be turned on by it's footswitch.

I really want to get together with my friend and build an Engl Fireball clone that has that circuitry added to it.

Question: Is it really necessary to have an on-board 3-ch EQ when you can buy a 10 band EQ pedal for $100?

You can buy a 3 band eq for like 30 bucks. plus, when its installed, you dont have to lug around another patch cable and shit. and the pedal
