It's been suggested that I go and audition a Marshall Vintage Modern amp.

Style
I like the look of this. I've never been a fan of the appearance of the retro-styled smaller guitars amplifiers such as those from Epiphone, Gretsch or Harley Benton, but I looked twice at the style of this amp. For once, there's a retro-style amp I wouldn't mind standing next to on stage.
Volume
So it's a small amp but it's not that quiet. Face it, 15W is too loud for turning up full at home, but looking closer and it has a pentode to triode option reducing the output to 5W. That's still loud at full volume, but getting closer to suitable levels for home.

Introduction
This is more expensive than the Kustom Defender 5W, but offers a few features that may make it more worthwhile, depending on what your looking for. It's still a low power amp and has piqued my interest by being licensed by THD Electronics.

Introduction
I'm a fan of small, low-power guitar amplifiers for nailing the tone you want at the volume that your neighbours will condone. I know a lot of people give the cheaper models a hard time, expecting top-end boutique tone out of a cheap Epiphone valve junior hot rod. Well that's not going to happen.

The answer to that question really does depend on what you want it for.
First of all, let's get some definitions:

The last few years have seen a rise in the number of smaller, low-powered all-valve guitar amplifiers. These are great for achieving awesome tone at lower volumes and so we set up the Smaller Amps section. In the last few months, Marshall and Vox have both released small amplifiers; Marshall with their Haze line and Vox with the Nightrain.

Sure it's tiny, but do not mistake it for a toy.

What we say about the Engl Powerball 100W Guitar Amp
The Engl Powerball is one of the most complete guitar amplifiers I've ever played. I love the range of tones I can achieve from this amp. I used it as my main amp for over 4 years and it still provides some tones that I find difficult to find elsewhere.

The Marketing Blurb
The TripleDrive Supreme (TDS) offers plenty of beautiful, warm headroom for undistorted country, jazz, or chiming pop. If you play large venues, the Triple Drive Supreme will give you all the clean headroom you could ever need and a wide range of sonic choices.
