single space amp options?

[wengr]

Hello. I'm wondering how possible it would be to obtain a one trip to the car schlep. The good news is the crew takes care of the cab which is an eden 410xlt. The bad news is that there is alway a big garment bag. I think it's possible if the amp head fits in the outside pocket of my Sad metro case. I don't have the portabag, but the rectangular case that ships with recent metros. I'm aware of the Puma 900. What are some other single space amps of similiar power?
Thanks in advance.

There are loads of micro heads these days, a couple dozen or so. Each has their fans and detractors. My pick of the lot is the GK MB500 and its relatives, and those will fit in 1RU or in a large gig-bag pocket. But again, there are many--so you might do well to specify more about your wish list of tones, features, and price.

GK MB800. About a 5lb cigar box that will blow the roof off.

Ok, an honest 450-500 watts into 8ohms. Good clean DI. If it is not class D that would be good although I guess that's not possible at this form factor?
Price is not an issue beyond the quality of the amp needs to support the price. Reliability is a big factor. As far as tone, it needs to sound decent with the 410xlt, and I beleive a more modern sound will work better, because I find I can always adjust my attack to somewhat simulate a vintage tone, but I can't get a vintage sounding rig to sound modern.

The Puma 900 seems to fill the bill. The reason I'm not jumping on it is because I briefly had an original two space puma 500, and it was defective - and I did not really care for the tone in general. So I have concerns about the 900 reliability and tone.

So I've got a puma 900 on the way. Hope it works out.
