My Dr Z is a healthy 18W, so not exactly a mini/micro size but I see the application for some of these although I also see the gimmick/ trendiness aspect too with everyone trying to gain market share now.

Right now my stage rig (I use the term loosely; I do not spend enough time on stage to warrant a "stage rig", but if I am on stage, this is what I run now - ) is the Mark V and a 2x12 cab. Mark V power set to 45W. I did some bar gigs earlier this year with the Hot Rod Deluxe. (40W 1x12).I like EL34s.

Personally I like the idea of small wattage heads a lot.
My fullstack is fun in our rehearsalroom (I said fun, not reasonable) and looks cool on stage, even though the sound guys keep on complaining, but at home I simply can't do these high volumes.
I'd love to try out the H&K Tubemeister or the ENGL E315...
I just wonder why it always has to be 10 inch speakers in the combo-versions of these amps.
I'd be all over it if they came with 12" speakers, but the head version with cab is always almoust twice the price.
Size and weight aren't really the most important arguments for me on this topic.tremstick give-away (performer series trem)

Yes, but the price is kind of heavy as well.
The 1200ish area is full of decent full size amps... But Mesa was never exactly cheap.
The reviews I read all say it's quite justified. Only the footswitch somehow manages to get the amp noise just by beeing plugged in. Would like to know what went wrong there...
But I like the look of this tiny slanted cab. Take one of these, a straight cab and the McFly guitar and you'll look like a giant!tremstick give-away (performer series trem)

Here is what I get from this thread:
Guitar hero plays a mini amp on stage = crap
Guitar hero plays a big amp on stage that has the words "mini, micro, tiny, or little" = crap
Person who can't even play an instrument stands next to an amp/cab on stage = awesome
Just to clarify:
What are the exact dimensions that define an amp as "mini"?
What if an amp has the word "mini" or similar somewhere on the back panel not visible to a person in the audience? Like a mini DIN connection or something like that? Is that okay?
What if somebody mikes their amp offstage? Does it matter if it is mini in that situation?
What if a person gets an extra large backpack and carries a full sized head in their backpack?
Just want to make sure I fully understand the rules here, so as to ensure maximum awesomeness is achieved at all times.Last edited by Chad; 10-22-2011, 11:21 AM.
