I bought my first two 20 watt amps, a Friedman Pink Taco and an Engl Ironball. I went to the smaller amp solely due to the lower weight, as many of you know my back is toasted and I am doing all I can to avoid back surgery #6. After playing with the amps for 2 weeks I honestly do not see myself ever bringing my 1/2 stack out of the house again.
My requirement for any amp is that it is usable at home and for late night/early morning practicing as well as at any gig I play.
These 2 20 watt heads are stupid loud, if you need more volume than these provide I'm impressed
Both of these amps sound killer at low volumes too. I have played some of the other lunch box amps out there and they do not compare to these two (for Marshall type tones). I am stunned at how good these amps sound.
If you want clean to crunch to molten metal, foot switchable, get the Engl. If you want the same but don't need them all at one time, the Pink Taco is your amp, it sounds just like the BE-100 on the BE channel.
