Some great suggestions, but kind of like asking how long is a piece of string. As Arthur Daley might say "the world is your lobster"! So, I'm wondering if some more info from you might help to narrow things down a little:

I too play a "fancy PRS" and a CS Strat...and a CS LP.....this little amp has become the mini-rig alternative to my Bogner Shiva which was 6 times more expensive than the Egnater...the Egnater didn't sound 6 times less expensive than the Shiva..in fact, I'm at the point of thinking do I need such an expensive commodity when this little amp does all I need and more..
Don't discount the cheaper/more run of the mill stuff as being sub standard, most punters in a gig environment couldn't care less if you were using a CAE or a Torque 10 watt practice amp and things like Hot Rod Deluxes etc etc are really good - boutique ain't necessarily the "best"..
I have learnt the hard/expensive way....
This is my gigging amp though and will give wonderful jangly clean at sensible gig volume.

normally a laney vc30 212 but last weekend has an outside gig and didn't want to take my valve amp so took my old teal stripe peavey bandit, really loved the sound from it, just cut through everything, unfortunately halfway through 2nd set it farted out, went really quiet and useless. Luckily had my emergency micro terror with jack plug and pushnon connectors so put that through the bandits speaker, sounded awesome tbh. gonna rethink my rig now.

that's exactly what I did Mr ICBM, , all seems fine now, sprayed it with contact cleaner (did the pots as well as a couple were a bit crackly. plaed for about an hour at home with it seems good, although I darnt crank it up at the moment. hopefully will go on for a few more years, after all I payed 50 squids for it
Sounds fantastic, great playing too! I never would have guessed it was a cheap Laney solid state jobby.
Are you using a volume pedal to get a rhythm volume? Or is it just a volume boost on the overdrive?
Actually, it's a long journey and my car can't fit a 2x12 cab in it (seriously!).
Even better value when you could sell one of the speakers, get £50 back and use the cab as an oversize 1x12 with port! I'd probably swap one of the speakers for something warm and fat.
I want it so bad

I've heard the me5 is really good too.
bigjon;359192" said:I gig with a pretty standard '80s rock' sound a la Mr Big era solid-state-based Paul Gilbert etc.This song (main gtr solo at 3:46) is my standard set up of a Laney World Series 120 1x12 from 1992 (prob £100ish on ebay) preceded by 4 Boss Pedals in one unit - CS3 compressor, an OD2 overdrive, a DD3 delay, and an NS2 noise-suppressor
What boss unit is that?

It's a Boss BE5 analogue multi-FX unit which I bought 2nd-hand in 1990 from the Guitarist Mag free ads for £200!Yep, volume variation is just from an Ernie Ball volume pedal. I go through the mix-of-the-2-channels input on the amp (both with a clean sound) for maximum EQ flexibility, although usually everything except reverb (zero) is on 5, with the treble boost and bass boost engaged on the lead channel. Same basic sound therefore for rhythm & lead.[/quote] A be5, as in the bass one with graphic eq and blend on the od? That's pretty awesome. I've heard the me5 is really good too. [/quote]g
