The challenger is the Orange Amps Electric.
Like every Fender on this list, you know you’re getting quality for under $200. For such a compact amp, you’re easily surprised by how many features it has, as well as the tremendous power it offers. If you’re looking to start recording your music digitally, then this Mustang is ideal. It has USB connectivity.
This is a micro amplifier that is also a tube hybrid. The tube element gives an enormous amount of tonal range. At 20 watts then you get very impressive volume too. The 12AX7 preamp tube gives all the overdrive you expect from a tube.

WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT | |
The ability to hook this amp up to your computer to create your own sound through Fuse software is a brilliant function. The options with the Mustang are endless. |
It’s a micro amp that also has a tube element to it, so the sound that you can get out of it sounds bigger and dirtier than you could ever imagine from its size. See more small tube amps here. |
