Has anyone tried either one of these amps?

I just picked up a Mini-Cat a few days ago and am extremely impressed! I'm a small amp junkie (Victoria 518, Orange AD5, Tophat Portly Cadet, Champ etc.) and I have to say that this is at the top of my heap. It isn't cheap, but is sounds great and the quality is superb. The 10" speaker makes it sound much bigger than it is, and it reacts really well to OD and distortion pedals. I got mine for $639 and it is worth every penny.

Which of those small amps would you say is your favorite? Which one will stay pretty clean, has the most headroom?

thanks,

Debbie

Debbie,

None of them have tons of clean headroom. The Bad Cat definitely has the potential to stay the cleanest. The Victoria and the Bad Cat are probably the loudest of the bunch. Tonewise it is a toss-up, as I like all of them. For rock, the Bad Cat is pretty tough to beat but doesn't have the swampy tones that the Tophat or the Vicky have. Hope this helps.
