It's under powered but I am loving my AC4TV

Blues Juniors are pretty cool, I have had one and I enjoyed it but I felt like it was not super durable (older ones the pots are basically held on by the chicken head knobs)
On the peavey classic 30 you get great tone but some tube rattle (it doesn't come through on recordings but it does exist and gets annoying) a few hardware store o rings usually settles that issue.

I am running mine in stereo with a micro terror that is pushing a fender 1x12 cab loaded with an old seymour duncan speaker
I am getting crazy tones with this setup

real good suggestions, should mention that I want something with some headroom. Which kind of puts the AC4TV out of the question...

yeah AC4 doesn't have a ton of headroom, but I always play at don't wake the kids levels
ac15 looks awesome

Valve Junior gets surprisingly loud through a decent cab

Peavey Classic 30. All the headroom.

any of these into a 1x12" or 2x12" cabinet would be cool beans. the Vox Pathfinder is also a small and versatile amp if you aren't a tube bigot.

This. After some minor mods and paired with a decent cab, the Valve Jr is a fantastic sounding baby amp.

Ibanez TSA15 or 30
Clean and very honest amp.
