Ninja encounter

Randall's Ninja Combo is a great low wattage (35W) amp to own. If you are a distortion fan, the Ninja will reward you with that intense on-board distortion. If that isn't enough (to some of us, it isn't), the ready drive booster there is akin to adding a mild drive type booster to beef the tone up- I absolutely favour this feature. It would mean I can plug in straight into the amp, no other pedals necessary. Note: The amp comes with a 3-pin plug version.

The other important feature here is the amp's closed back cab, meaning- you'd hear a full, low-end enforced tone with humbucking guitars. I have always considered this amp to be one of the best value-for-money combo. Ignore the Mike Amott association as he's no longer the brand name endorser. The other implication here is the fact that the Ninja is discontinued. The last time I enquired, this amp was out of stock. I believe this is the last batch of Ninjas here so it's no turning back for me.
