These days, you see more and more small 20w combo amps than anything. My Friedman will melt your face and that’s no shit.
Even some bigger venues you’ll see a small combo amp mic’d up into what looks like a pretty decent PA.
(My Mesa Roadster Dual Rec combo was a 100w four channel beast with the option to cut power to 50w. Which isn’t half the power as we know)
So, is a 20w head/cab enough these days? My Friedman absolutely roars.

That is something...
back in the day I kept in shape dragging around my TFL5000 with 2x15 JBL cab .....
now?.. moved to my silver face Deluxe or Blues Deluxe, and sometimes micing my Blues Jr. into the house PA where required (casino gigs).
