If you're going to be using your set a lot, I'm thinking that it might be best to suggest an amp that has an external effects loop and a sweepable mid. That way you can be sure that you're a fan of the effects section and will have some useful feedback control.
Though the Loudbox Mini is impressive, especially for how small and inexpensive it is, I think that the Loudbox Artist has enough feature enhancements to be worth the extra size, weight and cost.
I've been testing three amps as alternatives, the Schertler Jam 100, Loudbox 100 and Gens Genz Benz Shen.Compak 300 8" and the differences are pretty dramatic. It's been awhile since I last played through the Loudbox Artist but my memory of its sound has it as, for me, the best of them yet.
