Good call on the Egnater. My only gripe is that it isn't affordable to me. 
And the jury is still out on its reliability. Time will tell.
The Rebel 20 has an FX loop which makes even more versatile. Add a decent multi FX unit and your good to go.
I would like to hear one with a decent set of NOS 6V6s installed, RCA, Sylvania, Tung-sol, etc. The JJ 6V6s are good, but they don't sound like a NOS 6V6 should. Not bad, just different.

Katastrophe said:Way late to the party here, but I'd have to put in a vote for the Egnater Rebel 20 watt head. With the power scaling feature going from 1 watt to 20, with the "bright" and "tight" switches, it is one versatile amph. The ability to blend 6v6 and EL84 tube levels is another great feature. I got tones from "ice pick in the ear" shrill to dark and thick tones on an American Telecaster. The cleans are chimey (I put that in there just for you, Andy!oke:
), and the dirty sounds are good, too.
My criteria for a small practice room would be these:
1. The amph must be small, and not take up a ton of room.
2. The amph must be portable, because the space may be used temporarily for something else.
3. The amph must be capable of screamin solos at reasonable levels.
4. The amph must be affordable.
5. The amph must be capable of a bunch of different tones, since, by definition a "small" practice room doesn't have the space to house a bunch of different amphs.
IMO, any of the small 5 watter amphs out there would fit the bill. I just like the Egnater because it packs a lot of power in a convenient and small package.
