Small but mighty: Chappers' marvellous mini head is fit for home, studio and stage. One channel, no messing…

This ultra compact, single-channel head is a superb sounding rock machine, designed for real, all-valve tone wherever you go. Despite the tiny box, the dual EL84, fixed-bias power section delivers up to 28 watts in full power mode, and just 2 watts in low power. And it's only 263mm wide – smaller than an A4 sheet of paper! Chappers puts it best: "I wanted something that was affordable, doesn't compromise on tone and is made in England. It's a straight-ahead, giggable, no-nonsense valve amplifier: clean to scream at the turn of a knob."
