Riggin' Up the Average Joe way! Input/Suggestions welcomed.

I own a Special 6 and it is a great little amp. And fully moddable. But being single-ended and a low-watter, I don't think it's a good solution for you. A bigger amp with higher headroom is what you need. 
Also, I have played with a Transatlantic and it is awesome. Really! But a little pricey..

P.S. Yes guys! I'm back. After a lot of time. Almost a year.  But I always was around here reading your threads!
I'm happy I'm back! See you in my upcoming build reports.

Welcome back, Hector!

Thanks a lot! Happy to be back! 

Sorry for the thread derailing, Rej!

People, people. This is turning into "list your favorite small/cheap amp."

The only reasonable way for Rej to get what he's asking is to pick the most popular budget amps. Anything more exotic than a Blues Jr. probably might as well be something Rej built himself.

Something like the Tiny Giant project works well into your average speaker cab....

Do you use your HRD when you test your designs?

Yes, as I said, it's my bench amp. I don't crank the clean channel in the house, obviously, but I use it all the time. It can be too easy to make stuff sound good through my other amps. Once I've finished a design I take it to the other amps and make minor adjustments from there. The dirt channels let me test something through a dirty amp, it's completely clean when I need a clean amp, and it's got a full tone stack including mids and an effects loop.

I assume you set it flat? Just trying to get a sense of how you do things...

I usually put the controls at noon unless there's a specific reason I want to put the mids all the way up.

Ha, that's why my MG15 is my test amp. If something sounds okay through it (as opposed to crap), I know it'll be a right cracker through the Twin, or the JCM.

Plus I really don't care if a test pedal blows it up.
