I don't own one but I love the Rockerverb Mk3 but it is decidedly more modern voicing and would really benefit from a 2nd dirty channel to bridge clean to hi gain.

It got me thinking what my dream Orange amp would be and I came up with the following: a vintage oriented mid-tier flagship that blends the Rocker and AD30, 30-50 w head/112 combo, Clean channel based on the middle ground between the Rocker and AD30, channel 2 of the AD30HTC and then channel 3 based on the Rocker. All my favorite vintage orange tones in 1 head. Solid gold.

Curious what everyone else's would be?

I travel out of state for work about 50% of the work week and I'm tube guy at home but obviously that is near impossible when traveling. After much trial and error, I currently run a Steinberger Spirit GT as my travel guitar and the Positive Grid Mini as my amp but I'm not vibing with the amp. I have a few models on it I am ok with but it doesn't inspire me to play/practice most of the models aren't great on smaller speakers.

I need a small amp or modeler alternative that is preferably analog SS. I tried the Boss Katana mini x and it's better than the PG good but slightly too large to fit in a carry on easily. The regular Katana Mini sounds pretty mid to my ear and I thought the PG Mini sounded slightly better because of the plastic casing. I have been looking at one of the ZT lunchbox Amps and the Yamaha THR5 as they seem like interesting options but I wanted to hear other possible recommendations.

Money is a factor but I'm willing to throw a decent amount at this problem for a solid portable solution.

If you are buying a combo amp used, check to make sure that the previous owner was using the correct impedance for the internal speakers. If they weren't, there's a good chance you could run into issues with the transformers or power amp.
