As per the title really, I've been getting my garage rock on recently, most specifically white stripes and strokes end of things, got me thinking of what amps would suit that for my small room. So small head amps, or 1x10 combos. I had a Pro Junior before that was perfect for size, and sound, however I would really like it with master volume and reverb or a loop.
I dislike the rockier Marshall sounds (I know that's quite a broad description but I think you'll know what I mean) and I prefer instead the scratchier end of things, like fuzzy amp about to explode type, Jack White Neil Young kind of thing. Budget wouldn't be very high
Thanks

it can do the just breaking up 60s sound well and sounds fat and warm on voicing II with the mid kick on. With the gain all the way up with Humbuckers there is a fair amount of drive but add a pedal and you can get all manner of light to heavy distortion as required
FX loop is shite but has reverb onboard.

I'll have a look into them (though not the 1x12 cab, I'd like 1x10), never considered them before as I'd assumed they sounded quite Marshall derived and fat rather than scratchy and edgy. Will give them a try.
Likewise for the Laney and Vox suggestions, thanks

Those v40 things are a bit steep and having listened on YouTube, not really quite the sound either.
At the other end of the budget I understand the v2 Mustang modelling amps have a Silvertone model on them, anybody know if that's any good and whether it would take a muff as well?

The Orange Terrors also sound good for this sort of thing. You might have to run the tone control flat out to get enough treble.
Re the Silvertone and Twin thing, im pretty sure the Twin was only for reverb purposes as the verb on the Silvertone is awful, so was just a splitter between the two as far as of always understood it. Later tours though he only used Twins though I suspect there were some modifications to them.
It's the Silvertone kind of sound I want (and not the JHS pedal of it) ideally, in small 1x10 pro junior size, with matter volume and reverb. I think I'm asking too much and that digital will be the only way
