Sound Pure's Take
This may be our pick for best bedroom amp despite it being able to keep up at much louder volumes. Those sweet sparkly cleans give you all the clarity you need and more, plus the reverb tank will have you feeling weightless. What's more, when you crank the volume for the first time you'll fall in love with Dr. Swart's dirty fuzz tone.
