as much as i love it - i'm wondering if I really need my 2204 and looking at alternative options.

i occasionally plug-in to orange tiny terrors (they're all around in shops and studios etc), they have their haters, but i do think the tone is pretty good and they can be picked up for cheap now on the 2nd hand market.

that egnater tweaker looks like a really thought out amp.

the market is full of these type of amps - which is good since we have alot of choice as players! the epiphone valve junior, which seemed to start this trend was total sh!t, so i'm pleased that better offerings are now available.

edit: laney have their cub range too, which aren't total sh!t as i tried one the other week, though people saying the jet city 20w is better, so they can't be that good. its so hard to say until you get the gear home and try it with your complete rig.

edit 2: the clips i've just found of the dark terror don't sound very good to me

edit 3: anyone know a good amp shop where one can try all these ;)

edit 4: didn't realise the East Studio 2 was class AB.. thats very cool in fact. just listened to a few clips of it, and it sounds brilliant - expensive though

Forgot the Wangs VT-15. Wangs is owned by Biyang. It's supposed to be a straight up Marshally sound and it's cheap. Edit: Also forgot the Epiphone Valve Jr..

Ibanez Tube Screamer Amp. 5/15W 6V6 and 2x12AX7s and a Tube Screamer built-in. Musician's Friend prices them at $300 for the head.
I haven't checked out how they sound, but it fits in the thread, I guess. Good idea, on paper.

I'm still sold on the Ironhorse, though.

Anyone tried the Vox Lil’ Night Train?

I know it's downmarket from some of the things we've mentioned here, but I saw one in a shop window the other day and it's so ridiculously dinky I instantly wanted one (no, I didn't buy it).
