    Plenty of choice. I've had the THR10 & Fly 3 stack and both were superb for small footprint units.

    How small a footprint are you looking at ?

    I've got a Fly 3 that is a nifty little thing for low volume practise.

    I also really like the look of the Vox Handbag, though you have this and the THR10 in the same price bracket.
    We have to be so very careful, what we believe in...

    Boss Katana Mini is good if looks aren't important.

    Bigger than the THRs etc but I have an as new in box Vox AV15 to move if you interested. Still small & very light indeed. Also more stylish look than your av. amp so the womenfolk don't get so pissed when it appears in the lounge LOL Decent sounds too. Andertons did a great review on them IIRC

    I saw the

    Fender Frontman 10G Guitar Amp

    and that looks the part.......are these little amps OK for the likes of the Zoom G3 for some bedroom noodles?

    Katana minis are pretty good. plenty of options.
    I have a mini Laney lionheart. Really pleased with it and has the important factor that it looks great, so the wife doesn't moan if it's left out.
    Can't sing, can't dance, can handle a guitar a little.

    I have one of these, haven't really played through it, I can have a go later and report back if you like, they do look good but from memory they are what they are, a tiny little box of nothing special, I also have a Vox pathfinder, again great looks but nothing special sound wise, but they are small.

    I just googled a zoom, if you are using one of then then what specific sound are you after in an amp? Does it even matter?

    I took some photos of the two side by side to give you an idea of how they look in real life, they are my kids amps so I dont really use them, I can have a play later tonight if you want an idea of how they sound. Both can be had fairly cheaply on eBay, the Fender tends to sell for a lot less. It does have an AUX in , ive never used this and dont know why you would want to, I dont even know if you could put something through the AUX and play guitar at the same time.

    I am just a little fed up with using headphones with my G3 and would like a little desk top amp instead for my G3 noodling
