Amp recommendations

[cmtd]

Hello all. Lurked here for a bit, and signed up.

I recently had the chance to play through a Hex Micro T, which is a 5 watt version of the sunn model T. It absolutely blew me away, I've never played a real model T, but I loved this thing. I have searched for days and can't find any good leads on where to get one of these amps at. I tried an email to (what I think is) the builder, but havent heard anything back.

What I am looking for is a small really low watt amp I can use with headphones, or for late night jamming. I play through a mesa rectifier currently, and I have been getting more and more into fuzz/distortion stompboxes, and they all sound pretty bad through the mesa. The fuzz boxes I was demoing through the Hex Micro T sounded great.

If anyone knows a way to get a the Hex Micro T I'd love to hear any advice, I was pretty obsessed with it. If not is there possible something else out there that would fit the bill? Low watt, headphones or low volume playing, and takes dirt pedals well? I wanted to stick to the Sabbath, Electric Wizard type sounds for this rig.

Thanks in advance.

I'll be the heretic and suggest a modelling amp or device of some type. Go with something above baseline, like if I was looking I'd go with a midrange or higher Roland Cube or Fender Mustang III.

Go with something with a good Hiwatt or Fender BF model, and dial it in from there.

Cheap, functional, will fit your need and go dead silent.

More expensive: get a decent attenuator that can run silent, run that to a mixer with a headphone jack, and use whatever amp you want.

Jessup amps also makes a 5 watt model t clone.

I saw those Jessup amps, I haven't been able to find any type of review or demo on them however. Do you have any experience with them?

Fuzz doesn't sound bad on the Recto clean channel but I don't think that'll give you a desirable volume by any stretch so ymmv.

My first thought was to get a tiny terror
it's a great amp and may get you near where you want to go

I use a crate power block for headphone jamming late at night and it does the trick and takes pedals well

have bene using it live also for about three weeks going direct to the mixer and powering a 1x10 and I have been super happy with it

Mustang III (v2) is actually really good. I'll pick up a 'real' amp again someday, but for now I'm totally happy.

Last I checked on those Hex amps they were running at $600 for the 5w heads and you had to email the guy to get ahold of him. He's still pretty active (instagram) with his amp-building and is probably just taking a while to get back to you. You used the eagletwin email right?

[cmtd]

I did use eagletwin. Suppose I'll give it more time

I know its old but i have a 20w model T being built from jessup atm, last progress update was about a week till its finished. So far the build has been right on with timing quote and i even got some pics of the process. Trying to locate a cabinet without pawning some old gear hope this is help full.

The updated and all electronic'd out Fender Vibrochamp is pretty cool and has a nice tube sound.

I had a micro terror that worked decently with some fuzzes. Hated some, worked with others. FZ-2 sounded good in it and it will do electric wizard. Obviously.
