Joyo much bigger Head

Buy on Amazon

The joyo much bigger head is suitable and reliable and fits well with your daily purpose. The Zombie amp works great at lesser gain settings and lets you use your favorite overdrives to push it into higher gain with their own unique flavors. It makes a guitar head twice as versatile as alternatives and makes a great companion for musicians at practice or on the road. Even at 20 watts, this amp head can easily shake some windows and doors. The Bluetooth receiver is a great bonus as you can jam along to tracks really easily.

The Firebrand's tone is a grainy mid-range and fat distortion. The Bluetooth feature is super cool. It comes with 2 channels to flick the amp to the clean channel and use with your array of guitar pedals. The clean channel is nice and clear without being too bright.

• Killer rectified tone in a little bitty package
• Usefully for playing backingtracks while you're improving, soloing, or learning a song
• Size head that’s loud enough for any practice

Orange Mesa Mini Head

Buy on Amazon

The orange mesa mini head is capable of outshining several other head featured in this list in overall features for the price point. This little Orange amp head is powerful. It can do really sweet, thick British cleans, fantastic Classic Rock crunch, and it can even reach into Classic Metal and Hair Metal territory. It's simplicity and big sound make it worth every cent. It's loud enough to play over drums with ease. It can go from clean to pretty dirty but if you really want to get nasty you will need a nice hot humbucker and a distortion pedal.

It is great little amp for beginners or plays that use a headphone. The tone knob gives you plenty of control and with a EQ pedal it gets even better. It doesn't take much to drive this amp into raging distortion.

• Works great at gigs, especially when you're lugging gear up/down flights of stairs
• Great for pink floyd, led zeppelin, cream, deep purple, black sabbath sound
• Nice, light weight, powerful enough for small indoor venues
• Warm, alive, with tons of character

Joyo Mesa Mini Head

Buy on Amazon

The joyo mesa mini head should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. It's tiny, but fierce and mighty sounding. You can get a clean tone from the Clean Channel which handles Pedals well, or move to what it's made for as a Dual Rectifier tone. The tone control really has a wide range on it. It does do a surprisingly good job of sounding like a 'MB', at low volumes.

As a single stage/single tube preamp and 20w solid state power amp, it has no headroom at all. The tone is scooped like a ditch and even on a 1x10, with the tone dimed out, palm mutes will rattle your teeth. The amp also has a clean channel that can take pedals really well, which makes it flexible and a great little companion for many situations where your "big" head is too much. It comes with it's own power supply.

• Sounds great through 12in celestion seventy 80s, karana speakers, and alpha 8a
• Sounds great and drives the cabinet well
• Delivers what they promise
