As I said in an earlier post, putting a Thumpinator HP filter in my signal chain made a very noticable improvement to my little Fender Rumble 100. Makes a big, big difference on a smaller single cab combo when the power is focussed on delivering the frequencies you want, and not being drained by inaudible mush. Seems much more dramatic on a small amp with limited headroom than a big beast with masses of grunt. I'd absolutely recommend it in this context.

I've never played through one but have always been pretty gobsmacked by the AER (Amp One?) combo. Have seen them used live a few times and was quite astonished that so much sound could come from such a tiny thing.

Fender Rumble 100. Loud enough for smallish gigs and light as a feather. Stick a Thumpinator pedal in front of it to filter out the useless super low frequencies that suck up all the power and then you can push it hard. I've gigged mine like that with a drummer and fairly loud guitar and it had plenty of headroom.

The logical successor to Kenneth MacKellar singing Donald Where's Ya Troosers which was wheeled out for at least 50 years. Stopped watching the Hootananny donkeys years ago when it became obvious it would never improve.

I also use it with a Fender Rumble 100. Lots of people think that amp can't keep up with a loud drummer etc., but the thumpinator means you can push it hard without the cone flapping around. I've used it for some smaller pub gigs no problem, and only really at half power or less. I'd really recommend you try one if you can find one.

I've got it at the start of the chain. Seemed to me that the frequencies it eliminates aren't of any use at all, so get rid of them straight off the bat.

Another thing I'd highly recommend is a Micro Thumpinator pedal. With that in my signal chain it really gets the best out of smaller cabs by eliminating ultra lows that gobble up power and convert it into flappy farting drivers.

I picked up a Gallien Kreuger 2x10 (think it's an MB?) quite a while back. Feather light, literally a 1 finger lift, and sounds really good with my Tecamp Black Jag 500 head. I really bought it for rehearsals and stuff but have gigged it pretty much all of the time last year. Think I paid around £150 for it.
