Ok boys. Here are my requirements:
- Below 20 lbs. Not 20 lbs, not 22 lbs, not 25 lbs and just buy a trolley. Below 20 lbs.
- with effects loop
- Below 20 lbs
I intend to use this as my pedal-platform amp in not-so-loud venues. I wanna stay with Orange but will not hesitate to find another brand if it fits my needs.
Thanks everyone!

Re: Need recommendations for lunchbox amp w/ most clean headroom
Of the three, I'd say Tiny Terror, but I don't really look at Oranges for clean headroom. No effects loop on the TT though. Honestly, I'd look into those new Vox MV50 heads. They'll fit on your pedal board, and they have a "Clean" version. Also 50 watts.Doesn't have an effects loop either, I don't think, but I've never thought a loop was needed running clean.

Re: Need recommendations for lunchbox amp w/ most clean headroom
The 3 heads listed all have the some headroom..... 15w.
I suppose you will discount the TT as it has no FX loop? The Dual Terror as more headroom as it has 30w, but again, no fx loop.
Outside of Orange, I'm not sure. Perhaps a vox night train? The discontinued 50w head has an fx loop, 2 channels, 50w if clean headroom..... but weighs a mighty 12kg, or about half as much as my RV50......

Traynor Ironhorse. It was actually designed as a pedal platform. I ran my guitar straight into the power amp and it sounded wicked. Also one of the cleanest tube heads I've played. I tried a dozen tube heads in an attempt to replace it with something louder but ended up with a 500 watt bass amp instead. Heck I even liked it better than the Victory V40. Still a bit sad about selling it off. Funny, only two items I regret selling are both Traynor Tube amps Oh I also forgot to mention they are so affordable it's almost illegal.

The Orange 35RT has a clean channel and fx loop.

Thanks everyone. Yeah the options showed Orange coz... I love Orange.
I may look at the 35rt. I completely forgot about that amp. It does have sparkling reviews wherever I look. Another option is a Quilter Mini 101. Still researching more on that too.

The Dual Terror is definitely loud enough clean and works very well with pedals. If you´re running it as a clean amp, you don´t need the fx-loop. Put your delays, reverbs and modulations after the drive pedals and everything should work.

Re: Need recommendations for lunchbox amp w/ most clean headroom
My vote is for the Tiny Terror. I've played a few and they get an excellent clean tone. A buddy of mine plays the TT combo and he's a jam band type player (lot's of clean with delays and reverb). It gets loud, too! Especially if you're mic'd up, you'd never have to worry about not being loud enough.
That being said. I was in your position a few years back and ended up with the Dual Terror and it's my favorite amp I've ever played! Super clean or super dirty in a lunchbox style amp. What's not to love?
