Amp Head for Fly Dates

[srwest]

Guys I'm looking for an amp head that I can carry on a plane and put in the overhead compartment. My plan is to check my ATA case of pedals and carry on my Guitars and Amp head. I have had alot of success doing it this way borrowing other peoples small amp head, but I'm curious what you think that best thing I could purchase for this is.

I've been thinking about Morgans, Suhr badgers, etc. open to any thoughts

Thanks

Egnater Tweaker is small enough to fit in the overhead. It's smaller than a lot of the cases I see people trying to stuff in the bins.

Pretty sure the Bad Cat Lil' 15 was designed for that purpose.

The Egnater Rebel 30 is fairly small, fairly versatile, and fairly light.

at mars specialist.... it will just fit in a pelican 1510 (carry on size with roller wheels and retractable handle.)

i think there is no better amp on the market for the money.

3rd Power Solo series... These things sound awesome. Rad amps.

Mesa TA 15 or Mini Recto.

I think Redplate makes (made?) a compact travel concious version

A guy around here took his silverface Princeton Reverb out of it's combo cab and mounted it inside of an Anvil style case. He stuffs his pedals and cables inside one of the lids and the whole thing is about the size of a briefcase. Very cool.

Funny if it was an ammo can one, you'd get a free body cavity search too at customs.

They don't have twins for backline anymore? The less to carry the better. Guitar in overhead, small board in suitcase. Done.

 

[LBCwannabe]

Id say mini recto or ta15 depending on your sound. Reliable and they come with awsome cases.

Maybe consider SS rig for flying? More rugged than tubes bouncing around. This rig sounds killer through a good cab.
