Combo for small gigs/travel

[km723]

Hey everybody, I'm currently looking for combo that is small and light enough for travel (metro, plane, etc.) but loud enough for small jazz gigs and such. I've been keeping my eye on two in particular: the Gallien-Krueger MB150S-112 and the Genz-Benz Shuttle 3.0 10T.

If anyone has any suggestions or knows of anything else that I should look into, I would greatly appreciate it!

I've played the GK for a while, and it has a great hi-fi sound (if that's what you dig), but what is immediately apparent is the complete lack of bottom end coming from it (though, that's to say, it's not unexpected).

Plus it's expensive as sin for its size and power output.

I use an SWR Workingman 12 and I love it.

The Shuttle rocks.

A PJB briefcase is nice but probably doesn't have enough volume for what you're looking for. I'd be steered towards the Shuttle based on the positive reviews and specs. I haven't tried one though

Great thanks guys. The last two that I'm curious about are the Eden N12 and the Eden N28. I know Eden has a good rep and they're both cheaper than any of the others that I'm looking at so if anyone knows anything about these that'd be great.

Personally I have a Line 6 Studio 110 for my small stuff, it's loud but not the clearest thing... and it doesn't work if you expect it to sound good out of the box or sound like what it's supposed to model.

Otherwise I really love the Markbass Minimark, it's a bit taller than your cube amps but since it's less wide I would think it would transport pretty well, and it's loud as all get out with good clarity.

In the class of "Dinky Little Amps that sound huge", the Shuttles, the EA micro i300, and the Markbass LMII jump out. Nothing but good reviews for all, especially the Shuttle with the 10T cab.
