Anyone checked this out? ~ https://lichtlaermaudio.com/shop/pandora
I've been using a Quilter Superblock as a power amp for modelers at home for a bit now. It's worked really well for my needs, and I've felt it interacts with speakers in a very "tube-y" way (the low damping factor the Quilter amps have, I guess!)... but it has also always felt like a waste of space on my pedalboard since I'm using such a small part of it. I've had it sitting on top of my cab instead, but honestly it just looks very ugly and messy that way because of how the cables run to and from it.
This Lichtlaerm Pandora caught my eye because of this. It's really compact, and the marketing speak at least sounds promising. But maybe it's really just one of those EHX power amp pedals with a couple of EQ knobs haha
[Also, I know 60 watts is kind of iffy for solid state, but the Superblock has worked fine for me. It's "25 watts of tube-like power", which by my understanding is actually 50 watts or so, with the extra wattage "reserved" for transients... so either way I guess 60 watts wouldn't be a downgrade in my case. And I'm not needing this to compete with a drummer really anyway (though I feel like the Superblock at least could compete with some drummers)]
