Whats your favorite 1x12 combo amp?

My favourite 1 x 12" is the Trace Elliot Super Tramp Tube of which I have two. However as a hybrid amp I doubt most people here would be interested. Also as they are fairly large as 1 x 12" combos go, it probably wouldn't fit the small footprint requirement. Here's a pic of one on top of Marshall 4x12" (AVT?) to illustrate the footprint size.

Tons of volume and clean headroom, I'd say Peavey Delta Blues. Except it has a 15" too...

I ended up selling that wine red DRRI this week. I don't know what I was hoping for but it was a disappointment.

I sure as heck like that Egnater Tweaker head/cab combo though — to the degree that I'm thinking about buying the 40 watt version. I'm shocked at how much I like that little amp. Plus it fits in the trunk of a Miata, which is quite a trick.

Sounds like you might just be an EL84 fan.
 
My fave is a Matchless Lightening....but financially that will never happen. I am very, very happy with my Gretsch Playboy however - that would be a close second. But I know neither of those are in the ball park of what you are looking for.
 
You need to join the MESA tribe.

5:25 Express or Express plus - super versatile, amazing cleans, MESA overdrive. Amazing amp in a 1x12 configuration.
 
Mesa is always a great option IMO. The three contenders for me though, are:
Allen Sweet Spot
Rivera Clubster 25
Valvetech VAC25
