Pedalboard power amps - what’s good?

[fiftyshadesofslay]

As per the title, are there any decent pedal board or mini size amps that are actually any good?

Tried a SD Powerstage and didn't like it. Used a Blackstar Amped 1 for a bit and that was okay, still lacking balls and has that zingy Class D vibe to it which I didn’t really like.

Currently mulling over an Orange Pedalbaby or maybe the new Laney Supergrace to do double power amp and actual amp duty.

Ideally after something small that fits on a board or at least a small bag. Will be used with a QC when I can’t take my big boy amp.

I would probably wait and check out that new Synergy Wampler Pedalhead pedal. It looks like it has some potential.

Class D with a bigger power supply. If a small amp lacked balls...chances are your requirement in balls will necessitate a larger amp, not a different-brand-of-similarly-compromised pedal-sized amps:

Ritter GBA 280 is said to be pretty good.

I suspect the Wampler Pedalhead will be the right answer when it is finally released.

I've heard some good reports about the ISP Stealth ultra lite poweramp. Its Class A/B 90 watts RMS 180 peak. Cheaper than the orange.
