Why Rhett Shull Is (Probably) Right About 5W Amps

Originally, I had my sights set on the Bugera V5 Infinium, however, I chose the Orange 35RT instead because its FX Loop. Turns out I just had to look a bit harder to find a 5 Watt amplifier with an FX Loop: the Blackstar HT-5R.

After about a year of using the Orange 35RT, I realized that even it is far too big for my apartment setup.
