Mack Heatseeker 18 is a great sounding amp. Maz 18 is great too.

The Woodstock amp is 5 - 7.5 watts amp with a big tone.

These are both really interesting suggestions that I'd probably have never even come across without asking for help on TGP---thanks.

The TT Woodstock is especially interesting because of its lower wattage (with my current amp cranked [a Blackstar HT5], there is some sound bleed out of the AxeTrak. I really don't want to get anything too much louder.)

I think that, as of right now, I want to look into the Orange Tiny Terror, the Woodstock, and the Dr Z Mini Z. I always like to check the reviews on HC, but they've been down for what seems like a month.

Just keep in mind that the more an amp breaks up, the more any drive you put in front of it starts to sound the same. The amp tone just becomes more and more prominent. That being said,
I'd probably go with the Fargen MiniPlex. I've heard pedals through it and thought it sounded just fine.

Personally, I really love my Vox Night Train. Stock, it's not the most friendly of amps, but after a quick swap of the preamp tubes, it becomes a completely different machine.

I like Olle Norin. Good guy. Have a few pedals sold to him.

I like Robopimp too for his brutal honesty.
