I play bass, and I prefer tube amps. For bass, clean headroom is what we typically want. My head is 300 tube watts. 35 years old. Best bass tone on the planet, I think.
Overall, the best guitar amp I have shared a stage with was and old (seventies, I think) MusicMan 112 combo with two output tubes. I think it was about 25 watts. This thing was smaller than most suitcases. Had reverb and distortion. It certainly got the job done. I am glad you guys are not talking about hundred-watt heads and multiple 12" speakers. Most of your favorite guitar tones (zeppelin, Queen, Who, Stones, etc.) were recorded using a remarkably small amp.
