It's 100w , but it's a solid state and can play quiet but 'pushing to breakup' also takes on a different meaning.

Have a blackstar fly charge also which is a choice lil battery powered portable unit.

Orange Tiny Terror is my favourite amp for home
Currently have the combo with 12inch speaker , and previously had Dark, JR terrors but keep coming back to OG TT
Dabbed in Vox Night Train…ac15 handwired which was great but sooo loud.
Tiny Terror at 15 watt mode with volume gain and tone controls at 12 o’clock can’t go wrong ….however will own a Rocker 30 again ….one day

Currently a 5150iii 50W. Prior to that it was an Ecstasy 120W.

In unrelated news, when we moved in about 10 years back the elderly neighbours headed to their Omaha beach house. They still come back every couple of weeks but only just long enough to mow the lawns and collect the mail.

Very cool! One of the few SS amps I’d consider buying, I’d love a JC120 but not particularly practical I know. Guessing the cleans sounds pretty amazing?

I've been thinking about these too, I like the idea of the stereo in so I could do stereo with just one amp...

I had the JC-22 but replaced that and my Princeton with the JC-40. I'm sure a 120 is awesome, but I reckon this sounds plenty big and loud and hi-def enough without being stupid heavy. Cleans are indeed lovely and it sounds excellent with pedals as well — maybe not to everyone's liking, but I'm not a blues lawyer chasing the most buttery toan.

One small criticism, and it's well documented, is that they have a bit of a characteristic background hiss. The 22 was the same, but less pronounced. I've not tried running a noise gate in the loop yet, but I suspect that would deal with it. Definitely have noisy power in my house too, which I suspect makes it about ten times worse.
